Overview

The 2019 RAM 1500 Classic Regular Cab is a prominent contender in the fullsize pickup truck segment, competing primarily with the GMC Sierra 1500 Regular Cab, the Ford F150 Regular Cab, and the Chevy Silverado 1500 Regular Cab. Prices start off at MSRP $27,645 with the base tradesman trim, reaching all the way to the top SLT trim carrying an MSRP of $36,645, for a total of 3 trims being offered. With multiple powertrain and cab options available across multiple trims, there is a RAM 1500 Classic regular cab for everyone. The 2019 RAM 1500 Classic regular cab offers 3 exciting powertrains, each offered as both RWD and 4WD. The base engine is a 3.6L V6 capable of making 305 horsepower and 269 lb-ft of torque. This engine is rated for a towing capacity of 10,140 pounds. The second engine is a larger 5.7L V8 making 395 horsepower and carrying a towing capacity of 10,140 pounds. Both engines are mated to an 8 speed automatic transmission. Furthermore, The 2019 RAM 1500 Classic regular cab only comes with a 6'4rdquo; bed.

Buying Advice

Among the three trims offered in the RAM 1500 Classic Regular Cab, the two base trims are not worth considering unless you use it as a workhorse. Otherwise, we think the SLT trim is a wise choice considering the features it offers just for an additional $4,000. Cruise controls on the steering wheel. Rear view camera, Heated mirrors, Dusk sensing headlamps and plethora of other significant features come as standard.

              love my truck

              Pros - ["has plenty of room in the cab and the truck bed", "the ride is smooth and the gas mileage isnt to bad"]

              Cons - ["the stereo sucks in it doesn't even have any power you can barely hear it with the windows down", "the mirrors dont have the somebody is in the lane next to you indicators"]

              my dodge is my dream truck it gets decent mileage the only thing that could be way better is the audio system in it.The truck has plenty of room and the ride is quite and smooth. THE OVER ALL LOOK OF MY TRUCK IS AWESOME AND MY FRIENDS REALLY LOVE IT
