What type of engine and transmissions could be in the 2019 Ram 1500?

A new 2019 RAM 1500 gets things going with a 269 lb-ft of torque creating Pentastar 3.6L V6 that also manufactures 305 horsepower. This V6 makes use of a new eTorque mild-hybrid configuration with a 48-volt motor that charges and also assists the fuel-saving start/stop function. The economical battery pack fits on the rear wall of the cabin. Moving over to the 5.7L Hemi V-8, this engine manifests 395 horsepower and 410 lb-ft of torque with a regular transmission– but with the eTorque transmission instead, that same engine acquires 130 lb-ft more torque. The HEMI V-8 in the 2019 Ram 1500 borrows the talents of an electric 850-watt cooling fan with Pulse Width Modulation to keep it running cool and therefore stronger for longer periods of time. The standard transmission inside is fully electronic TorqueFlite 8-speed automatic for whichever engine, and the 2019 RAM will tow 12,700 pounds or haul nearly 2,300-lbs when it is properly equipped. Ram also installed a new electronic locking rear differential as the standard for 2019 within the Rebel model, but it is possible to add to any model via the 4×4 Off-road Package.

Can you explain the Rebel model specifically?

The Ram 1500 Rebel is now purchasable in the Quad Cab setup and has new 18″ wheels (20″ available) using an electronic-locking rear differential with standard 33″ Goodyear Wrangler DuraTrac tires. The Rebel previously came standard with Ram’s Active-level 4-corner air suspension and a 1-inch suspension lift. That air suspension remains gettable, however, the 2019 Rebel is standard with a coil spring suspension and a 1-inch factory lift. The Rebel is noticeable with the overall off-road design and also specifically by the rear-fender decals. Revised Bilstein shocks utilize remote reservoirs to ensure the shocks maintain a cool temperature and coordinate with the special rear suspension to demand traction from the tires, plus, the Rebel is standard with Hill-descent Control. Burly tow hooks with wide bumper housings make them easy to use, coupled with bottom skid plates on the steering system, oil pan, transfer case, and gas tank. Rear-fender decals denote trucks equipped with the 4×4 Off-road Package.

What are some of the many design elements of the 2019 Ram 1500?
