| Petrol engines (Dodge RAM) are generally quieter, smoother, and better suited for short trips due to quicker warm-up times. Diesel (Mitsubishi L 200) engines, on the other hand, offer superior fuel efficiency and torque, making them ideal for long-distance driving and heavy loads.

| Wheel drive type: | Rear wheel drive (RWD) | All wheel drive (AWD, 4x4) | |
| Ground clearance: | 229 mm (9 inches) | 205 mm (8.1 inches) | |
| Because of the higher ground clearance, Dodge RAM can perform better on bad roads - it can go over higher obstacles and bumps. At the same time, the higher ground clearance can reduce stability and handling on paved roads, especially at higher speeds. Note, however, that this Dodge RAM version does not have 4x4 drive, which is very important in poor road conditions. Choose from four 4x4 versions of Dodge RAM 2009 if off-road driveability is important to you. | |||
