Autotrader recently named the 2019 Ram 1500 its pick for one of the “Best New Cars for 2019.” As the recipient of this coveted award, the new 1500 is more than worthy of this grand distinction. Let’s review what makes this new pickup so commendable and all the features that make it an appealing vehicle to own.
What is This Award?
The editorial and data team at Autotrader chose their picks for the 2019 Best New Cars award from a wide range of criteria. They took a close look at each model’s interior comfort features, overall build quality, available options, and ride quality, with a $75,000 sticker price cap.
All the vehicles in the running were also judged on available technology packages and the driving experience. The Ram 1500’s unique features set it apart from the competition, securing an award for the 2019 model year.
Complete Redesign
The 2019 Ram 1500 underwent a complete overhaul for the new model year. This full-size pickup brings increased capability and improved fuel economy to the table. The 1500 is more refined and touts a long list of features and amenities that simply can’t be beaten. It’s racking up the accolades thanks to its smooth-riding performance and plenty of innovative new elements, such as the basic Tradesman work truck’s standard eTorque mild-hybrid V-6 powertrain or the top Limited trim’s luxuriously appointed cabin.
Impressive Fuel Economy
Every 2019 Ram 1500 comes outfitted with a stock 3.6-liter V-6 under the hood. It delivers 305 horsepower and 269 pound-feet of torque. With the help of the 48-volt eTorque mild hybrid system, it barely sips at the fuel. This boost from the electric motors kicks in when accelerating and helps power this truck’s automatic stop/start system. The 1500 earns 20 miles per gallon city and 25 mpg on the highway.
Optional Powertrains
In addition to the praise-worthy standard V-6, Ram offers the new 1500 with two optional powertrains. The first choice consists of a 5.7-liter V-8 that produces 395 horsepower and 410 foot-pounds of torque, while the second, a rear-wheel-drive V-8, adds the eTorque system that’s good for 17 mpg city and 23 mpg highway.
Towing Capacity
Ram built the all-new 1500 pickup to set the benchmark for strength, durability, and capability. It succeeded with the strongest and most capable truck to hit the lot yet. When equipped with the available 5.7-liter Hemi V-8 engine, the 1500 delivers best in class towing capacity. You’ll be able to haul up to 12,750 pounds when and where you need it, from the job site or to the lake.
It’s the perfect, tough truck for almost any job. With Ram’s state-of-the-art technology and plenty of driver assistance features, you’ll navigate the road safely and securely. Thanks to its high-strength steel frame, not only can the 1500 out-tow the competition. It can carry a 2,300-pound payload.
With an award-winning combination of brute strength and class-leading luxury, the Ram 1500 easily dominates the competition. Schedule a test drive of one of the best new vehicles for 2019 at your local showroom today.
