Let's Take a Look at How the Ram 1500 Stands Out Amongst the Competition
Winner - Cars.com Best Pickup Truck of the Year 2019
The new 2019 Ram 1500 for sale in Gladstone, MO has a stronger frame, a quieter interior, and higher towing and payload capacities, but it's when you get behind the wheel and experience it for yourself that the difference really hits home.
Its clean exterior and luxurious interior sell it, but it's the improvements to safety and strength that make it one of the on-road and off-road experiences today.
Cars.com noted that the 2019 Ram 1500 excelled in quality, innovation, and value.
The ethos behind the 2019 Ram 1500 is that there needs to be no compromise when it comes to your vehicle. You can have luxury with capability, efficiency with innovation. The fuel efficiency improvements this year thanks to the mild hybrid eTorque system are phenomenal, and you can get the hybrid boost with both the V6 and V8 engines.
The advanced materials used in the frame have reduced the weight of the Ram 1500 by no less than 225 pounds (100 pounds shed from the frame alone). The materials are also stiffer and stronger. This allows the 2019 Ram 1500 to haul up to 2,300 pounds on its back, or up to 12,750 pounds on a trailer.
Things have improved inside too, with the new Uconnect 4C infotainment system powering the mammoth 12-inch touchscreen. This includes a split screen functionality, 360-degree camera, and content from SiriusXM.
The technology improvements don't stop there, with new and improved active safety features like automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, and blind spot monitoring.
Winner - 2019 North American Truck of the Year
January 14th saw the North American International Auto Show in Detroit where the 2019 Ram 1500 picked up another coveted award - 2019 North American Truck of the Year. 60 automotive journalists from North America and Canada put their heads together and decided that the 2019 Ram 1500 was the best truck available today.
The luxury interiors, brilliant eTorque mild hybrid engine, and 12-inch touch screen were often cited by the journalists as reasons why they chose the 2019 Ram 1500 over all competitors.
It has been six years since the Ram 1500 won this award.
Winner - Four Wheeler Magazine's Pickup Truck of the Year
The Ram 1500 is much more than a workhorse. Choose the Ram 1500 Rebel, and you have the best off-road truck in the business. There's no need to take our word for it - Four Wheeler magazine has voted it the truck of the year.
The entire Ram 1500 range is great, but what Ram has been able to achieve in the form of a competitive off-road package with the Rebel is highly impressive.
The Rebel is a trail-ready companion, with its 33-inch Goodyear Duratrac tires, Bilstein shocks, skid plates, stiff chassis, electrically-activated rear locker, and tow hooks. The Rebel comes standard with a factory lift or optional air-suspension for extra ground clearance.
Pair all of these pro-off-road features with the Ram's excellent interior and technology and you've got a vehicle that can simply do it all.
Winner - TRUCK TREND's 2019 Pickup Truck of the Year
The 2019 Ram 1500 just keeps picking up awards. TRUCK TREND took out eight trucks for a week-long grueling test in California, traveling over 1,300 miles. Which truck came out on top? You guessed it, the 2019 Ram 1500.

Skid plate protection is included for the gas tank, transfer case, engine, and steering. The rear fender has an additional decal denoting 4x4 off-road capabilities.
The 2019 Ram 1500 has the largest front brake rotors in its segment. A new parking brake is 20 pounds lighter than last year's model and is smarter, able to automatically engage when required.Two powertrains are available - 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 offering 305 horsepower and great fuel economy, and a 5.7-liter HEMI V8 that gets you 395 horsepower and 410 pounds per foot of torque.
