The Truck
With the 2019 Ram 1500 comes quite a few sweeping changes for a truck that already has a stellar reputation. That means the pickup keeps up with advancing technology and the evolving demands of hardworking truck owners.
One of the biggest changes for 2019 is the new eTorque mild hybrid system. It's available for both V-6 and V-8 engines, boosting efficiency, especially in the city. When the automatic stop-start system is active, eTorque helps ensure a seamless transition between the engine being shut down and it starts running again. The system also can temporarily increase peak torque output, giving an extra uplift to get going in difficult conditions.
Ram worked to reduce the curb weight of the truck without compromising durability or strength. By using advanced materials in the frame, the Ram 1500 has dropped 100 pounds for 2019 while also increasing stiffness. Overall, the truck was able to shed 225 pounds, helping to boost performance in the process. In fact, towing capability has risen to 12,750 pounds*, while payload capacity is equally phenomenal at 2,300 pounds**.
There's also a new Uconnect 4C infotainment system with a 12-inch touchscreen, boosting productivity while you're on the move. Through SiriusXM 360L you have access to all kinds of exclusive content. A split-screen feature allows for taking on two tasks at once. There's also an optional 360-degree camera system which is ideal for navigating tight areas. Adaptive cruise control, automatic braking, blind spot monitoring, and other driver assistance technologies keep you safer than ever.
