Detroit has been full of truck debuts this year, but the most ground-breaking of them all might actually be the 2019 Ram 1500.

Ford and Chevy have both chosen to pursue diesel as their alternative fuel source, but Ram has introduced a mild hybrid system on the 2019 1500. A 48-volt battery allows the new truck to feature start/stop technology, provides a short-term torque assist, and enables regenerative braking. The eTorque system adds up to 90 lb-ft of torque when paired with Ram’s 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 and up to 120 lb-ft when paired with the 5.7-liter Hemi V8.

And despite a total weight reduction of 225 pounds, the Ram has increased its payload capacity to 2,300 pounds and is rated to tow up to 12,700 pounds. 

Tack on the class-exclusive air suspension, an optional 900-watt sound system, and an absolutely massive 12-inch touchscreen, and, whether you want capability or comfort, the Ram 1500 makes a compelling case. Read more on CarGurus: https://cargur.us/mRDhz
