You're looking for a truck that can pull your toys on a weekend adventure, but that can also haul all the tools you need for work. Well, your hunt is over. Here are three things that make the 2019 Ram 1500 the truck you need. Beastly Capability The 2019 Ram 1500's unique engine and transmission designs equip this beast of a truck with the means to get any job done.

The Crew Cab and Quad Cab trim levels add to the standard features some all-terrain tires, extra ground clearance, and the ELocker Electronic Locking Rear Differential that kicks the Ram's off-road performance up a notch. Comprehensive Interior Power and capability aren't the only things the Ram has to offer. The 2019 sets you in an unrivaled interior that provides everything you need, no matter what your destination. Stay connected and informed with the available Uconnect 12.0 with Navigation that projects on a huge, 12-inch touchscreen. On that intuitive screen, you can access navigation information, SiriusXM radio, and connect to your smartphone. Not only will you and your passengers stay entertained in the Ram 1500, but you'll also stay comfortable. While many trucks cram passengers into the back, your friends and family will enjoy 45.1 inches of rear legroom in addition to a rear seat fold-down center console and rear seat ventilation. Need extra space for work or for this weekend's adventure? Lift up the rear bench seat to find compartments that can hold 40 liters of your equipment. Is that space not enough? Add to your Ram the available in-floor storage bins. Reliable Safety In order to properly enjoy the performance and tech features of any vehicle, you need to be safe enough to drive. Fortunately, the 2019 Ram 1500 provides all the safety features you need. Back up in confidence, whether you're towing or not, with a 360-degree surround view camera that gives you a detailed image of your surroundings. You also won't have to worry about changing lanes with blind spot monitoring with rear cross path and trailer detection, which uses sensors to help you keep tabs on the area around your vehicle.
