After an exceptional 2018 model loaded with features and pushing performance boundaries, few believed that the Ram 1500 could get better. But that’s what the Ram truck does — it pushes beyond expectations and improves on performance. The 2019 Ram 1500 picks up where the 2018 Ram left off, and delivers on safety, performance, comfort, and more. Read on to learn more about the features offered in the new Ram 1500, and why it should be your next truck.
Performance & Capability
The 2019 Ram 1500 has built on prior models to become the most capable Ram 1500 yet. The 2019 is both lighter and longer, has a greater payload, and can tow more than ever. A towing capacity of 12,750 lbs, plus a max payload of up to 2,300 lbs, makes for one of the most capable trucks on the market. A wider bed means even more cargo volume than before, and the new, available bed step means loading all that cargo has never been easier. The 2019 Ram 1500 is also available with a new, mild hybrid engine system called eTorque, which allows for seamless start/stop functionality, brake energy regeneration, and added short-duration torque, thanks to its 48-volt battery pack. The 2019 Ram 1500, when equipped with the 5.7L HEMI® VVT V8, offers 395 horses and 410 lb-ft of torque – the right amount of power to provide exceptional towing capacity as well as fuel efficiency. Upgrade to the eTorque engine and you’ll gain an additional 130 lb-ft of launch torque on an even more efficient engine. And the largest available front brakes in the segment, 378 mm (or 14.9 inches), mean you’ll have plenty of stopping power available. All that power doesn’t mean a thing without comfort and control, and the 2019 Ram 1500 has lots of it. The Ram is equipped with a segment-exclusive, Active-Level™ 4 Corner Air Suspension system that both absorbs road impact and reduces friction and wear. It will level loads automatically and improves your truck’s capability and comfort without sacrificing performance. The 2019 Ram 1500 offers ride height adjustment, at the push of a button, so you can tackle any terrain, any time.
Interior
Not just powerful, the 2019 Ram 1500 is well designed to offer best-in-class legroom, as well as best-in-class storage volume. A specially engineered advanced frame featuring 98% high-strength steel, improved durability, weight, and rigidity, make for a comfortable and efficient truck. The best background noise dampening technology available in any truck on the market means you’ll have a quiet ride, unless of course you take advantage of the most powerful available audio system in its class. The 2019 Ram 1500’s interior has been designed with the driver in mind, and real wood and leather interior details create a ruggedness in the truck that is juxtaposed against technical innovations like the 4th generation Uconnect® multimedia system that is available with a 12-inch touchscreen.Of course, if you’re a bit more old fashioned, and tend to skip the GPS for a bit of amateur astronomy, you’ll have no trouble finding the north star through the 1500’s large, dual-pane sunroof.
Exterior
The 2019 Ram’s exterior was designed to maximize the potential of the truck, which is exactly what the best-in-class aerodynamics accomplish. Fuel efficiency starts with the engine and transmission, but extends outward.The 1500 comes equipped with power side steps which, when the door is open or when the truck is in park, lowers or raises the side steps — even tucking them away at high speeds to improve aerodynamics. An Enhanced RamBox® Cargo Management System provides two LED lit, locking, drainable storage units, as well as a 115-volt power outlet all hidden away until you access it with remote access thanks to your key fob. The key fob also has control of the power-release tailgate, which has been tested extensively in both the hottest and coldest conditions.
Safety & Technology
The 2019 Ram 1500 boasts more than 100 standard and available safety and security features, making it one of the most secure vehicles on the market today. Tow with ease utilizing the available Blind-Spot Detection system, that will also factor in your trailer and the traffic around it. The Ram’s Forward Collision Warning system, as well as Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop and Go system, will help you to avoid accidents while driving, and an available 360 Degree Surround View, as well as Parallel and Perpendicular Park Assist, and Park-Sense® Front and Rear Park Assist System, will help make parking your 1500 as easy and enjoyable as driving it. Add in a 5 year or 100,000 km Powertrain Limited Warranty, plus 24-hour Roadside Assistance, and your 2019 Ram may look and drive like new, well after you’ve put some hard earned miles on it.
As you can see, the 2019 Ram 1500 is loaded with all the safety, performance, and looks, of a class leading truck. And different trim levels for the 2019 1500, like the Limited, Rebel, or Sport, offer exceptional value, luxury, and performance, above and beyond the already stellar new Ram truck’s base model.
