Factory Fresh 2019 Ram 1500Mopar began work on the parts catalog for the all-new ’19Ram 1500 well before it was unveiled, and the parts divisiontook advantage of the Chicago Auto Show to boast of their work.The truck revealed in the Windy City was a Big Horn Sport 4x4in Flame Red, to which Mopar engineers added at least a dozeninterior, exterior, and performance accessories.Most obviously, the bed gets an all-new Ram Rack cargomanagement system, which mates the Ram’s available utilitybedrails to two cab-height spars that adjust fore and aft. Asshown on the Chicago Auto Show truck, Ram Rack makesit easier to carry long cargo, like ladders or canoes, withoutresorting to hanging stuff off the truck’s tailgate.Also on the show truck are Mopar 18-inch beadlock-capablewheels mounted to 35-inch BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2tires. Mopar off-road fender flares, rendered in black, prevent offroaddamage. A skid-resistant set of low-profile, body-length runningboards helps improve cab access while preserving groundclearance. Off-road performance is pushed further thanks to a2-inch Mopar lift kit.Under the hood is a Ram Airflow accessory cold-air intake,helping maximize the performance of the truck’s 390hp5.7L Hemi V-8 engine. That engine exhales through a MoparPerformance cat-back exhaust system that exits through wellintegrated5-inch dual exhaust tips. Inside, there are a few Mopartouches, namely the stainless steel doorsill plates, all-weatherfloormats, and premium Katzkin leather seats.Overall, there’s a lot to like about the new Ram 1500. Thesmooth styling might be a bit more anonymous than before, butit’s undeniably classy and attractive. The interior is a home run,with amazing materials, a modern design, and state-of-the-artinfotainment options. And the powertrain is more efficient andharder working than before, thanks to that eTorque mild hybridsystem. Add in a few Mopar accessories (like that tough-lookingRam Rack and beadlock wheels), and you’ve got a recipe for onecool dealer-fresh truck.Longer, lower, and leaner, the newRam is optimized for aerodynamiceficiency. Luckily, wind tunnels likesmooth, pretty shapes, so the trucklooks good as well.- VOLUME 44, NO. 07, [22] MAY 17, 2018 -
