Exterior - RAM 1500

With the 2019 RAM 1500 in Salina, the designers have done a wonderful job of creating something fresh and modern while remaining true to the iconic RAM look. One of the more intriguing new options is a split tailgate. Rather than fold down, this tailgate has two halves that swing open. The exterior redesign also features a larger bed, and the available RamBox makes the available space even more versatile. Not only does the new bed offer you 61.5 cubic feet of volume, but it has purposefully been designed to accommodate 4x8 plywood sheets, and this is the standard bed. There are numerous wheel options, which extend all the way up to 22 inches. There are multiple cab and bed options that you can mix and match, and aerodynamics have been completely reconfigured in order to maximize fuel economy.
