There’s a reason that the all-new Ram 1500 was unanimously voted as MotorTrend’s truck of the year and why it was the Autoblog Editor’s No. 1 pick of the 2018 Detroit Auto Show. The 2019 Ram 1500 is re-engineered from the inside out and is setting new benchmarks in its class for capability, durability, and strength. Here’s everything you need to know about the 2019 RAM 1500.
Powerful Engine
The redesigned 2019 Ram 1500 is built around your choice of three powerful available engine configurations. The renowned 5.7-liter Hemi V-8 engine is also available with a mild hybrid system and gets a monster 395 horsepower and 410 pound-feet of torque. The upgraded 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 engine with eTorque is standard on most trim levels and gets an impressive 305 horsepower and 269 pound-feet of torque.
The TorqueFlite eight-speed automatic transmission comes standard and uses cutting-edge technology to automatically optimize shift changes for efficiency and performance.
Guts-to-Glory Capability
On top of its powerful engine, the 2019 redesign gives the Ram 1500 the most hauling and towing capacity ever in this model, in addition to an exceptional available off-road capability and improved efficiency. All of this gives the 2019 Ram 1500 the gritty capability to take on just about any task.
The available 5.7-liter Hemi V-8 engine packs a best-in-class towing capacity of up to 12,750 pounds and a maximum payload capacity of up to 2,300 pounds, so you can carry your equipment wherever you need it. Plus, state-of-the-art safety technology helps you tow wherever you need to go with added peace of mind.
The Ram 1500’s available eTorque mild hybrid system replaces a traditional alternator with a 48-volt battery-powered motor generator that boosts the vehicle’s impressive capability and performance.
Safety Features Galore
All of this power and performance is backed up by a suite of safety features that are designed to give you peace of mind. A combination of cameras, sensors, and sophisticated software keeps the driver firmly in control. The newly-available 360-degree surround view camera provides a view all the way around the vehicle to assist with loading and unloading, parking and hooking up the trailer safely.
Blind spot monitoring with a rear cross path and trailer detection is able to scan the blind spot behind your vehicle, and automatically accounts for the length of the trailer. The available parallel and perpendicular park assist provides guidance while you park.
Available Mopar Accessories Elevate the Look
Eye-catching details and luxe materials combine in available Mopar accessories that elevate the exterior and interior and allow you to make your Ram 1500 your own. Soft roll-up or hard folding tonneau covers provide protection in even the harshest of climates. A chrome or matte black front air deflector, black body-side graphic, or off-road style running boards add style to the exterior.
On the inside, premium carpet floor mats or the all-weather mat kit make keep the interior neat. Premium black Katzkin leather seats, with the Ram’s head logo, etched out in bright red contrast stitching, add a touch of handcrafted luxury.
