Utility Features In Depth

The RAM 1500 cabin also features underseat storage, floor bins, and a center console with enough room for a laptop.
- Rear Cross Path with Trailer Detection: Drivers who equip their RAM 1500 with the available Blind Spot Monitoring system will gain Rear Cross Path and Trailer Detection, features that let you work smarter, not harder, when you're navigating your Elgin job site.
- TorqueFlite® Transmission: For 2019, the RAM 1500 will feature a TorqueFlite®8-speed automatic transmission. By working alongside the new eTorque Mild Hybrid System, it's able to maximize the towing power and performance of your truck, finding optimal shift points as you drive.
- Active-Level™ Suspension: This class-exclusive Four-Corner Air Suspension system gives you more ground clearance when you need it, and it even lowers your body automatically when you're moving at highway speeds. This reduces drag and improves fuel economy.
