2019 Ram 1500 Ward's 2018 10 Best Interiors List
Posted on January 15, 2021
When it comes to pickup trucks, what do we think of first? For most of us it will be things like towing capacity, payload ratings and bed sizes. That's perfectly understandable because a pickup truck is designed to work, after all. But as more and more retail buyers are choosing them as an alternative to a family sedan or SUV, other features are starting to become increasingly important, and manufacturers have had to sit up and take notice. One manufacturer that has been taking particular notice is Ram, especially with its all-new 2019 Ram 1500 as it's recently been named to Ward's 2018 10 Best Interiors list, partly thanks to its impressive array of interior features.
About the interior
Even a brief glimpse at the all-new Ram 1500 will tell you the truck has been completely redesigned on the outside, but the interior is also completely new for the 2019 model year. As well as being fabulously spacious, the interior of the favourite of all Ram trucks is now more comfortable, more luxurious and more hi-tech than ever. After all, anyone can add some bolstering to the seats and some plush upholstery, but Ram really has gone all out to make the inside of the new 1500 somewhere very nice to be indeed.
Mike Manley, the Head of the Ram Brand says of the new truck: "The all-new 2019 Ram 1500 is a no-compromise truck that sets the standard for interior comfort and refinement. We are honored that WardsAuto has chosen the Ram 1500 for Ward's 10 Best Interiors list. We've added unique technology, materials and storage solutions to give customers a premium experience while staying true to the hard-working nature of the Ram 1500."
The award
Some 40 different vehicles were considered this year for the list of best interiors, so the editorial staff had a tough job of cutting them down to the best 10. When we consider how varied the contenders were and the wide range of prices they came with, it's quite an achievement for any vehicle to make the top 10, especially a pickup. To even be considered for the list, every contender for the 2018 awards had to be completely new or significantly upgraded for the 2018 or 2019 model years.
The 2019 Ram 1500
There are many reasons why the interior of the Ram was so highly regarded by the WardsAuto team. Among the most obvious are the new premium materials used which contribute to what Ram rightly refers to as "segment-leading luxury, comfort and refinement." Of course, connectivity is a massive thing for any modern vehicle, and Ram has stepped up to that particular plate with the first FCA application of the new Uconnect 4C NAV with its exclusive 12-inch fully configurable screen.
The cabin of the new 1500 is also extremely quiet due to the use of active noise cancellation and acoustic glass to reduce ambient sound. The Ram also trumps its segment rivals by offering almost 100 percent greater storage capacity than its competitors, and the largest cab in its class with as much as 45.1-inches of rear legroom.
