2023 RAM 1500 Classic Coolant

Water is used to transfer heat while ethylene glycol is used to lower the freezing point of the liquid. In colder climates, this is immensely important. This probably isn't the first time you've heard of ethylene glycol as it is the central ingredient in the popular term "antifreeze".
