0

The new Ram full-size truck is out. As always, the pickup has plenty of options. Luxurious and performance upgrades are numerous. But, everything starts with the 2019 RAM 1500 Regular Cab model. This is the base and the least expensive truck you will find in the lineup. Other two cab configurations are Quad Cab and Crew Cab, both with 4-door and 5-seat layout.

It will be interesting to see what combination with the 2019 RAM 1500 Regular Cab the FCA is about to bring. Currently, we can combine it with standard and long box. Short bed is not going to be available for the Regular Cab. Also, not all trim levels are announced yet, but this configuration will be available for all entry- and mid-range pickups. High-end models, such as Laramie Longhorn, might offer only Crew Cab layout.

Trucks with a Regular Cab will be available with the 3.6-liter V6 engine. This Pentastar unit is the base powertrain, and it is capable to produce 305 hp and 270 lb-ft of torque. The energy goes to an eight-speed automatic transmission, and then to the two-wheel drive system. Optionally, buyers can purchase its 2019 RAM 1500 Regular Cab with an all-wheel drive or another engine.

One alternative is a 5.7-liter V8 petrol engine. This Hemi mill is capable to crunch out 395 hp and 410 lb-ft of torque. The 2019 RAM 1500 Regular Cab will be the best solution if you want to two. Long bed is allowing more items to be stored. Also, oversized cargo will fit the box with no problem. So, with a V-8 engine, the towing capacity reaches 12,750 pounds. On the other hand, the fuel economy is not taking too much damage. With an 8-speed gearbox, the pickup returns 19 mpg combined. An optional 6-pace transmission is dropped from the fifth-gen Ram pickup truck.
