Following their unveiling at the North American
International Auto Show, Ram has announced its redesigned Heavy Duty truck
lineup will be priced from US$ 33,395. Costing US$ 350 more than its
predecessor, the 2019 Ram 2500 will be offered in five different trims ranging
from the entry-level Tradesman to the luxurious Limited.
Ram hasn’t released
detailed pricing, but the base truck comes standard with a regular cab and an 2,438 mm bed. Buyers will also find a 5-inch Uconnect infotainment system,
a four-speaker audio system and a rearview camera with dynamic guidelines. Power is provided by a standard 6.4-liter Hemi V8
that develops 410 hp and 582 Nm of torque. It is
connected to an eight-speed automatic transmission which can be paired to an
optional four-wheel drive system.
Drivers looking to upgrade to a diesel engine will
have to shell out US$ 9,100 for the optional 6.7-liter Cummins Turbo Diesel
inline-six. It produces 370 hp and 1,084 Nm of
torque. The 2019 Ram 3500 is a tad more expensive as the model starts at US$ 34,750. While it’s similar to the Ram 2500, it offers a high output diesel
engine that produces 400 hp and 1,084 Nm of
torque. Those are some pretty impressive numbers, but the engine is an US$ 11,795
option which means it costs US$ 565 less than a Nissan Versa sedan.
Speaking of options, Ram confirmed the 3500 Limited
Mega Cab 4×4 will cost US$ 67,050. That particular model has a 12-inch infotainment
system, a 10-speaker premium audio system, an integrated trailer brake
controller and a blind-spot monitoring system with rear cross path detection. Last but not least, Ram announced the 3500, 4500 and
5500 Chassis Cab variants will start at US$ 34,750.
