The 2019 Ram
1500 Tradesman is available in two cab styles and two bed
lengths: Quad Cab with 6 ft., 4 in. bed, Crew Cab short bed (5
ft., 7 in.) or Crew Cab with optional 6 ft., 4 in. bed.
Powertrain offerings include standard 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6
with eTorque mild hybrid system, optional 5.7-liter HEMI® V-8 or
optional 5.7-liter HEMI V-8 eTorque. The model is available in
4x2 or 4x4.
Through the use of high-strength steel and clever engineering,
the all-new Ram 1500 has reduced its overall weight by 225
pounds. Properly equipped Tradesman models provide work truck
capability towing up to 12,750 pounds and offer up to 2,300
pounds of payload in a four-door quad cab configuration. All
2019 Ram 1500 models are equipped with the largest front brakes
in the segment at 14.9 inches.
Ram Tradesman offers greater performance for the price when
compared to other work trucks, adding useful features such as a
standard Class III trailer hitch and lighted, above-bumper four-
and seven-pin trailer wire connectors.
The Ram 1500
features a segment-exclusive multi-link rear coil suspension
that provides best-in-class ride and handling qualities. A
coil-spring setup centralizes and absorbs bumps and impacts,
while reducing the amount of friction in the spring system. This
setup also weighs 40 pounds less than a leaf-spring
configuration. Also available is Ram’s exclusive four corner air
suspension system to balance any load.
Standard interior features include Uconnect 5.0 with five-inch
screen and hands-free calling, one-year of SiriusXM Radio, a
12-volt auxiliary power outlet, three USB ports, one auxiliary
port and automatic headlamps. Buyers can choose vinyl or cloth
40/20/40 split bench seats with six-passenger capability,
featuring shoulder and lap belts on all six seats. Interior
colors include Black/Diesel Gray with either standard vinyl or
carpeted flooring.
Ram trucks
come with an unsurpassed five-year, 60,000-mile powertrain
warranty. Truck customers from half-ton to commercial have a
demanding range of needs and require their vehicles to provide
high levels of capability.
Ram 1500 Tradesman pricing starts at $31,695, not including
$1,645 destination charge.
