2019 Ram 1500 Review

If you have a tough job to do in the Greensburg, Delmont, or Jeannette areas, you need a reliable truck that’s up for a challenge. At Hillview Motors, we think we’ve found that in the Ram 1500. As you’ll see in our 2019 Ram 1500 review, this truck has a lot to offer local drivers, so keep reading to learn more about some of our favorite features.

Ram 1500 Power and Strength

What stood out to us when reviewing the 2019 Ram 1500 is that it doesn’t just work hard, but it works smart.

This truck offers three powerful engines, two of which are available with eTorque, an innovative mild hybrid system that includes a Li-Ion battery and 12Kw motor in addition to the engine. The motor helps to supplement acceleration, resulting in maximum power without compromising efficiency.

This feature comes standard with the 3.6L Pentastar® V6 engine that delivers 305 horsepower and 269 lb-ft of torque. The 3.6L engine has the capacity to tow 7,730 pounds.

If you need even more power, you can upgrade to the 5.7L HEMI® V8 engine that delivers 395 horsepower and 410 lb-ft of torque. Without eTorque, this engine will get you a towing capacity of 11,610 pounds. Add eTorque to the mix, however, and you can tow up to 12,750 pounds when properly equipped.

2019 Ram 1500 Cargo Management Review

When you drive the Ram 1500, chances are there’ll be a time when you have a lot of weight on your shoulders. Luckily, this truck can manage every pound of it with its maximum payload capacity of 2,300 pounds.

You can disperse this payload weight across a choice of two beds: The 5-foot 7-inch bed offers up 59.9 cubic feet of cargo volume and the 6-foot 4-inch bed can fit 61.5 cubic feet of cargo. This box is even wide enough to let a 4-by-8 sheet of wood lay flat.

If you have smaller items you don’t want to store in the bed, you can place these in the available RamBox® Cargo Management System. These cargo boxes are located on the outer edges of the bed, above the wheels. They’re lockable, weatherproof, and illuminated. They also include a 115-volt power outlet so that you can power your tools while out on a job.

Smart Capability in the 2019 Ram 1500

In addition to having a smart engine, the Ram 1500 also has several smart features that can help to make your job a little easier. For example, when you’re towing a trailer, you can merge much more safely with the available Blind Spot Monitoring system with Rear Cross Path and Trailer Detection.

This system issues an alert when other cars enter your side and rear blind spots, and extends the coverage along the length of the trailer.

If you’re pulling something heavy behind you or have a lot of weight on your back, you won’t have to worry about wearing out your suspension with the available Four-Corner Air Suspension System. It offers five operational modes, including Off-Road, Aero, Normal, and Entry/Exit.

When you take on extra weight, this system will counteract it to create a level profile and keep your rake constant from front to back.
