I bought the 2019 RAM 1500 Limited V6 mild hybrid in September 2019 and I have no regrets. For $47,000 I got all the tech gadgets I wanted that would have cost $58,000 or more in the F-150 Lariat so I feel like I got a really good deal. I've had it for 6 months now and am very pleased with my purchase. I can't say enough good things about this truck and only a couple of first-world critical observations. It's a very comfortable ride (not a luxurious ride but far better than bouncing around in the F-150). The seating comfort is great, the leather is soft, the leg room in the back is unsurpassed, and the truck is the best looking one on the market in my opinion. The 12" screen is responsive, intuitive, and clear and Apple Car Play actually works. I love that when I start it (even remotely), if it's cold enough, the heated driver seat and steering wheel automatically turn on. Because it barely fits in my garage, the braking assist feature has saved me a few times when inching as close as I can to the back wall of the garage. I like the auto shut-off when stopped (I had this in the F-150 too). The start and stop transition is much smoother than the F-150, given it's using the hybrid motor to assist start-up. Plus all of the electronics continue working and the steering wheel doesn't lock - something that cause occasional panic in me with the F-150. For a V6 full size truck the acceleration is adequate enough - no issues merging or passing on the highway, though the F-150 turbo wins in this category. Some downside observations. Granted it's been cold the last few months here in New England, so I'm naturally going to get poorer gas mileage than in the summer, but the gas mileage isn't as great as the F-150 (I had the 2016 V6 Eco-boost). I'm getting a combined 20-21 (which is what the window sticker says anyway) but with the F-150 I was getting 22-23 combined. My driving is about 70% highway. Another downside is that I find the cruise control to be very sensitive. Even driving up the slightest incline (barely noticeable), the truck will kick down to 7th gear and the instant gas mileage indicator drops down to around 12 (I tend to be a hyper-miler - I know what you're thinking, "Why the heck did this guy buy a truck?" I'm coping with the cognitive dissonance of owning a truck and being a believer in the man-made causes of global warming - it's not easy being me). Anyhow, the constant downshifting gets a little annoying. I think this is where the Eco-boost would shine because it could easily navigate up these mild inclines with the turbo without having to heft it down a gear. I like the mild hybrid but, as I saw in one online video review, there should be some kind of indicator it's working for me. The towing capacity numbers were a little disappointing at first when compared to the F-150 V6 but fortunately for me I've decided to forgo purchasing a sailboat as it's easier and more convenient to rent one (and I can rent a much bigger boat than I ever could have towed). I bought the RAM 1500 because I liked the looks, the ride quality, and the value in features when compared to the F-150. The gas mileage was close enough to not disappoint at time of purchase but that is the one thing that I wish were better. I would have given this 5 stars if the gas mileage were as good as what I was getting on the F-150 Eco-boost. Ford's got it's work cut out for it to come up with a new version that can compete with this beautiful truck. I would buy this again.

Power is great. 5.7 L Hemi with a 392 rear end will pull my fully loaded 30 foot travel trailer up over a mountain on a Logging Road. Should have waited for the third generation as the 12 inch touch screen on my Limited is less than desirable. Functions maybe more than half the time correctly. Sometimes it will display the satellite radio station and sometimes the screen will be blank. Yes, I checked to see if the screen was on or off. Sometimes it won't change modes from FM to satellite and sometimes it won't change from satellite to anything else. Depending on its mood it might let you change radio stations when the screen is blank but don't count on it. If you want to use voice texting you have to have your smartphone plugged into it with the c to C cable otherwise you can only use predefined messages. The map was out-of-date the moment I pulled it off the lot so you may as well use Google or Waze. Electronically speaking sometimes the aerodynamic mode will engage at the correct speed sometimes it wont. Sometimes if I use the entry exit mode it will stay in entry-exit mode on my 1 hour commute home at speeds about 70 miles an hour. Sometimes the cruise control works and sometimes it doesn't and gives me an error message on the screen. Sometimes the ventilated seat fan is noisy and sometimes it isn't. Really this goes for just about every electronic Gizmo and gadgets this truck has. I'm a gadget person and spend a ton of time in my vehicle. I've got nearly 24,000 miles on it and I bought it last December. Having a 392 rear end the fuel economy is pretty good compared to older vehicles but there is still room for improvement on this 8 speed transmission. It's already had a few recalls address. The sunroof spring that keeps the wind deflector up when the sunroof is open as already broken and I've been waiting on parts for 2 months. Usually the adaptive cruise will work correctly but once in awhile it will surprise you and not in the way you'd like to be surprised. The lane keep assist works okay but sometimes it's willing to correct you on one side and throw you into the river on the other side so you can't rely on it in the way you might think. The voice activated navigation leaves a lot to be desired when it works properly. Every time I'm in the truck and I connect the same phone I've had since I got the truck it asks me if I want to make this phone my favorite. As if I was going to change my mind. I could probably go on and on but I will spare you. I told you about the major things that bother me hopefully these will be worked out in future Generations. For the purpose of accuracy my pickup is not listed on the choices, it's got the 5.6 foot bed with the 5.7 liter Hemi and it's a limited 1500.

Underwhelmed eTorque

I have driven 9500 miles in 3 months! The truck is an exceptional vehicle. However, my gas mileage is only 16.9 mpg on highway driving at 70 mph. If I slow to 60 mph, I’m over 20 mpg. Safety and technology are second to none. Very satisfied but eTorque not worth the additional cost.

Been looking, test driving and pricing all the newest half ton Limited model trucks for weeks. Toyota is dated and has the worst fuel economy. Chevy/GMC just didn't feel modern or updated enough. Ford F-150 is due for an update lacks modern appeal and expensive. Decided on the new Limited 2019 Ram 1500 truck. In my opinion Ram is the best looking exterior and interior 1/2 ton truck on the market. E-torque mpg is incredible. Modern Interior, great interior storage bins. Comfortable seats front and rear. Quality material, U connect works perfect and easy to operate. 12" navigation screen is by far a game changer. Impressive adjustable air ride. Tows my 7500 lb trailer effortlessly. Time will tell on how reliable this new truck will be but, for now my Ram has been the great decision. Also, the 2019 Ram Limited was over $5K cheaper than the comparable Limited F-150 out the door.
