It’s been a decade since we could last say this: An all-new Ram 1500 is almost here. You’ve seen pictures of the upcoming 2019 model. You’ve read the specs on it. You’ve learned all about how Ram made its F-150 fighter stronger, lighter, and more advanced. Now you can finally get an idea of how much your next Ram 1500 will cost.
Prices for the 2019 Ram 1500 start at $31,695 for the Tradesman Quad Cab 4×2. The Tradesman, Big Horn (starting at $35,695 for a Quad Cab 4×2), and Rebel (starting at $43,995 for a Crew Cab 4×2) models come standard with the 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 and 48-volt eTorque mild hybrid setup that supplies an instant 90 lb-ft of torque when needed. Upgrading to the regular 5.7-liter HEMI V8/eight-speed automatic combo costs $1,195. The HEMI with the eTorque boost has a price tag of $1,995.
The more upscale Laramie, Laramie Longhorn. and Limited trucks come right off of the Sterling Heights Assembly Plant’s lines with the regular 5.7-liter HEMI V8. Adding eTorque’s 12-kW belt-starter generator, 48-volt battery pack, and 130 lb-ft of temporary torque boost costs another $800.
Mike Manley, the head of Ram trucks, said, “In launching the all-new 2019 Ram 1500, we knew it was important to offer class-leading features and technology. But it’s also important to offer our great product at a competitive price. We feel that we’ve delivered the right no-compromise mix that Ram Truck customers will appreciate.”
Here’s something else you all might appreciate. The 2019 Ram 1500s are on their ways to dealers right now. Not enough? Try this: We’re going out to Arizona soon so we’ll be able to tell you all about how the new 1500 drives on- and off-road.
Derek Shiekhi's father raised him on cars. As a boy, Derek accompanied his dad as he bought classics such as post-WWII GM trucks and early Ford Mustang convertibles.
After loving cars for years and getting a bachelor's degree in Business Management, Derek decided to get an associate degree in journalism. His networking put him in contact with the editor of the Austin-American Statesman newspaper, who hired him to write freelance about automotive culture and events in Austin, Texas in 2013. One particular story led to him getting a certificate for learning the foundations of road racing.
While watching TV with his parents one fateful evening, he saw a commercial that changed his life. In it, Jeep touted the Wrangler as the Texas Auto Writers Association's "SUV of Texas." Derek knew he had to join the organization if he was going to advance as an automotive writer. He joined the Texas Auto Writers Association (TAWA) in 2014 and was fortunate to meet several nice people who connected him to the representatives of several automakers and the people who could give him access to press vehicles (the first one he ever got the keys to was a Lexus LX 570). He's now a regular at TAWA's two main events: the Texas Auto Roundup in the spring and the Texas Truck Rodeo in the fall.
Over the past several years, Derek has learned how to drive off-road in various four-wheel-drive SUVs (he even camped out for two nights in a Land Rover), and driven around various tracks in hot hatches, muscle cars, and exotics. Several of his pieces, including his article about the 2015 Ford F-150 being crowned TAWA's 2014 "Truck of Texas" and his review of the Alfa Romeo 4C Spider, have won awards in TAWA's annual Excellence in Craft Competition. Last year, his JK Forum profile of Wagonmaster, a business that restores Jeep Wagoneers, won prizes in TAWA’s signature writing contest and its pickup- and SUV-focused Texas Truck Invitational.
