Serving Cincinnati, OH, Fort Thomas, KY, and Lawrenceburg, IN

Over the years, the Ram 1500 has remained one of the most popular vehicles in America. For 2019, Ram’s popular full-size pickup benefits from a complete redesign. A roomier cabin, improved fuel economy, and fresh exterior styling make the latest Ram 1500 hard to beat. You can also take advantage of the pickup’s exciting new features. Let’s see how the 2019 Ram 1500 compares to the 2018 Ram 1500.

Performance

This year, Ram has introduced an optional eTorque mild hybrid system. Not only does this cutting-edge system deliver extra fuel savings, but it also improves performance by adding up to 130 lb-ft of torque. While the base Pentastar V6 engine is destined to remain a popular choice, the available Hemi V8 engine packs even more muscle. With the ability to tow up 12,750 pounds, the 2019 Ram 1500 now ranks among the most capable full-size pickups on the market. A class-exclusive air suspension continues to separate the new Ram 1500 from the competition. It helps take the stress out of hauling big loads. If you have a passion for off-road adventure, check out the ultra-rugged Rebel model. Special upgrades, such as an electronic locking rear differential and a two-inch lift kit, help the 1500 Rebel to hurdle challenging terrain.

Interior

The 2018 Ram 1500 was known for delivering a luxurious ride. However, expect the 2019 model to offer even more comfort. Crew cab models now boast a best-in-class 45.2 inches of rear legroom. This is a key highlight for the drivers who have a big family. Available heated and ventilated seats promise to make your trip especially relaxing. Several exciting technologies are available for the 2019 model. Ram’s available 12.0-inch Uconnect interface with navigation is stunning. No other truck in the segment offers a larger touch-screen display. You can also take advantage of the new 900-watt Harman Kardon sound system. A total of 19 speakers surround the cabin to create a stunning music-listening experience.

Safety

A stronger steel frame helps the new Ram 1500 to provide superior impact protection. You also have access to more safety technologies than ever before. While the 2019 Ram 1500 comes standard with a backup camera, the optional surround-view camera gives you a more complete picture of your surroundings. Several new driver-assist technologies have arrived for 2019. Blind-spot monitoring with trailer detection gives you greater confidence when pulling a load. For the first time, you can enjoy automatic emergency braking. Some of the other available safe innovations include adaptive cruise control, an automated parking system, and lane departure warning.
