we're here at the Detroit Auto Show where RAM is showing their all-new 2019
Ram 1500 now there's a lot to talk about here because this is a brand new vehicle
let's get started we're here with this limited-edition Ram 1500 but on all
these vehicles brand new design inside and out on the outside you'll notice
that we have a new hood with different power bulges also the grills completely
different grilles on each of the seven trim packages headlights are going to be
completely determined by what trim package you have halogen LED or
different sensor packages you might want as well to here on the side of the hood
is where you're going to be identified as a half-ton pickup truck with the
engine choice underneath as far as the wheels there's more than 16 I think
maybe 18 different wheel choices depending on trim and option packages
and here you can see on the side as well to here very clear and distinct to
different line cuts to try to keep it very symmetrical all the way back this
is the crew cab model that's now four inches longer even the bed itself is an
inch and a half taller so it more evenly connects and lines up with the cab
configuration here at the back end brand new tail light design as well again
depending on what trim package you have and what options you want and the
tailgate can be dropped from the inside with a push of a button or from the key
fob one final design detail here at the back end of the truck a brand new more
chiseled Rams head but designers have kept the are AM lettering here on the
back with the rebel package in fact the rebel package the more sporty ER of the
trim levels still has the big wheels and tires still has the taller suspension
lift on it's about one inch higher whether you get the brand new coil
springs availability on the rebel package or you get the four corner air
suspension but the big news quad cab configuration here on the rebel will
make this a much shorter wheelbase and much more sporty or vehicle to take on
the trails but here's the big design change here you get the power the power
bulge hood so this is brand new still has the vents just like the Mopar sport
hood from the previous generation but now
identifies this rebel as a half-ton here up up on here up on top and also what
engine is underneath finally here at the grill
you have the very familiar swoop over the RAM lettering but this is a
completely redesigned bumper and skid plate if you're looking for something a
little more Street stealthy maybe this Laramie sport black packages is what
you're interested in it's got the sport hood it's got a black out front grille
still has the big Ram lettering but you get black inserts here in the headlights
you get unique wheels you also get blackout mirrors door handles and also
on the tailgate you get the blackout design here the Rams head but also
blackout four inch dual tailpipes for power trains they're gonna offer mild
hybrids both for the 3.6 liter Pentastar v6 and the 5.7 liter Hemi that's what
this is right here this is the motor generator a 48 volt system that actually
has a 300 watt battery pack that allows this new pickup truck to have start/stop
capability and to provide 90 foot pounds of additional torque with the v6 and a
hundred and thirty additional foot-pounds of torque for the 5.7 liter
v8 the frame itself this is all new it's fully boxed it's got these splayed frame
rails here in the front so it has better front head and collision crash-testing
and offset crash testing it's got these tire breaker bars here in the back but I
don't want to forget this either upper control arms here on the front
suspension these are composite lower a arms are aluminum the entire weight
savings on this brand new frame is about 90 pounds when you compare it with the
2018 model Ram half-ton pickup truck still has the same number of cross
members this particular example has the four corner air suspension where you
have the compressor tanks here in the back and here at the back a much
stronger crossmember configuration here where you have the tow hitch now it's
capable of towing a maximum 12700 pounds a lot of big changes here
in the interior as well brand-new gauge cluster here an
Information Center here for the driver tilt and telescoping steering wheel
very cool reconfiguring storage area here almost looks like a giant monster
minivan storage bin but the big story a completely redone information screen
here that can control all of your AC your radio your climates and even
provide some Netflix Lite ordering features that you can do if you sign up
for the Sirius XM 360 l package but this is a very cool gigantic screen that you
have and also new leather materials dual storage bins here in the glove boxes and
let's take a look in the back a lot of changes there too here in the back of
the crew cab you can get a completely flat load floor and you can get an
optional heated and cooled seats for rear passengers you've got the RAM bin
but now it's twice as large as it was before and the seats themselves have
this amazing center console here plenty of storage cupholders also the seats
themselves and slide forward so I get an eighth degree recline here if I want to
go to sleep over these long-haul trips but very cool let's take a look
underneath you get even more storage in fact if you need a little bit more than
this a couple flips put that up now great place to store fishing poles
another great interior feature is that you can literally see almost the entire
outdoors with this giant Sun roof and before we move on to cool features here
in the center console one all sorts of mathematical calculations to calculate
angles or mathematical equations also here at the bottom at the back end here
on this little flip up four generations of side view styles of the RAM half-ton
pickup truck and we've only scratched the surface with this video of the 2019
