The 2019 Ram 1500 is the recipient of multiple awards including Truck Trend’s 2019 Pickup of the Year, MotorTrend’s 2019 Truck of the Year, and the Texas Auto Writers Association Full-Size Truck of the Year, to name a few. These awards prove that the Ram 1500 has the power and performance to tackle any task you throw its way.
Power
The 2019 Dodge Ram 1500 is available in four trim levels: Tradesman, Tradesman HFE, Big Horn/Lone Star, and Laramie. All four trims are available in three configurations: quad cab or crew cab with a 6-foot 4-inch box or a crew cab with a 5-foot 7-inch box. They are available in two-wheel or four-wheel drive, depending on your needs.
All models of the Ram 1500 are powered by a 3.6-liter V-6 24-V VVT eTorque engine as standard, which pumps out 305 horsepower. For increased power, opt for the available 5.7-liter V-8 Hemi MDS VVT engine or 5.7-liter V-8 Hemi MDS VVT eTorque engine, which gets 395 horsepower. The engines are paired to an eight-speed automatic 850RE transmission and an eight-speed automatic 8HP75 transmission is also available.
Wheels
The Tradesman trim level rides on 18-inch steel painted wheels as standard and 18-inch premium paint cast wheels are available. The Tradesman HFE sports 20-inch aluminum chrome-clad wheels as standard. The Big Horn/Lone Star has 18-inch wheels as standard and they are available on the Tradesman and Laramie. The Laramie comes standard with 18-inch aluminum base painted wheels and 20-inch premium painted wheels with inserts are also available.
Towing
The Ram 1500 has a reduced weight, which allows for increased towing capacity and payload. Hauling your boat, trailer, or equipment is an easy feat for the Ram 1500 as it can tow up to 11,470 pounds and has a payload capacity of 1,710 pounds. Even when hauling heavy loads you’ll enjoy a smooth ride thanks to the suspension system, which creates a riding experience that feels like you’re in a sedan rather than a powerful truck.
Package Options
Several packages are available to give your Ram 1500 even more power when towing or hitting the back roads.
The Trailer-Tow Group includes power trailer-two mirrors with manual fold-away that help improve visibility and trailer brake control, which electronically operates the trailer’s brakes in unison with the truck’s brakes.
The Off-Road Group package includes 275/55R20 OWL all-terrain tires, electronic-locking rear axle, front extra HD shock absorbers, fuel tank skid plate, front suspensions skid plate, a full-size spare tire, and hill descent control, which utilizes electronic brake control to help you maintain a safe speed when descending rocky hills.
The Protection Group includes a front suspension skid plate, steering gear skid plate, fuel tank skid plate, and transfer case skid plate.
Safe Performance
With power and performances comes additional safety concerns. Staying safe on the road is aided by the many standard and available safety features in the Ram 1500, such as brake assist, multiple air bags, electronic roll mitigation, electronic stability control, Parkview rear back-up camera, rain brake support, ready-alert braking, and trailer sway damping.
With plenty of power and performance where it matters, the 2019 Ram 1500 is a truck that’s just as ready for the pavement as it is the back roads.
