Exterior - 2019 RAM 1500

In Salina Kansas, the RAM 1500 exterior starts off with a distinctive grille design and full LED headlamps. The Active Grille Shutter stays open to cool the engine but closes when you get on the highway so aerodynamics is improved. The rear integrates a spoiler and aluminum tailgate emblazoned with the RAM logo. You can store tools and other valuable equipment in the available RamBox® Cargo Management System that comes with two lockable storage bins with LED lighting, a 115-volt power outlet, and built-in drains for easier cleaning. With 61.5 cubic feet of carrying capacity, the bed is big enough to hold 4x8 sheets of building material when you drop down the tailgate.

Mechanical/Powertrain - RAM 1500 specs in Salina KS

Depending on which of the 2019 RAM 1500 trim levels you want, you get a choice of three engines. The standard for most is the 3.6L Pentastar® V6 that uses two-step variable valve lift and variable valve timing to produce 305 horsepower and 269 lb.-ft. of torque while towing up to 7,730 lbs. It also relies on eTorque to provide a boost to the torque using a 48-volt belt-driven motor generator that runs on a battery to improve efficiency and performance. Another option is the available 5.7L HEMI® V8 that generates 395 horsepower and 410 lb.-ft. of torque with towing capacity at 11,610 lbs. The final choice is an eTorque version of this V8 that delivers up to an increase of 130 lb.-ft. of torque with top pulling power at 12,750 lbs. Any of these motors benefit from the next-generation technology of the TorqueFlite® eight-speed automatic transmission that optimizes shift changes. Available Active-Level? Four Corner Air Suspension reduces drags and improves aerodynamics by lowering the truck when you hit the highway. To prevent the wheels from locking up, the four-wheel disc antilock brakes depend on electronic sensors so you get better control especially when braking on slippery surfaces.
