Apart from that, the RAM Bighorn badge has been updated a bit to look really good with chrome features. In the truck, you’ll get some excellent features for the premium cloth upholstery. It’s very durable, doesn’t tear easily when getting in and out.
But, you’ll still get everything you got in Tradesman. Some of the Bighorn standard features that are a few upgrades for you are the 3.5-inch instrument cluster and three USB ports in the cab.
Now, we will talk about the Bighorn Sports appearance pack. On the truck’s exterior, you will notice that the front and rear bumpers will be body-colored, as well as the door handles. The grill and hood will be sport-specific hoods.

You might already be familiar with RAM’s Active level four-corner air ride suspension, in multi links spring coil rear suspension as an exclusive feature.
Air ride suspension works by raising or lowering the correct height for maximum comfort and performance. It can be activated automatically or manually using your console or key fob. Five altitude options can be used for entry, exit, tow, and load to increase efficiency and ground clearance when off-road.
The four-corner air ride suspension is available on the Tradesman, Bighorn, Rebel, Laramie, Laramie Longhorn, and it is standard on the Limited.

4. RAM Laramie
Laramie 2019 gets an all-new sleek design. But what makes it unique is that you’ll see it has really cool looking chrome bumpers and fender flares. Another notch above the Bighorn is that you’ll have unique fender flares that stick out, sure to look great on RAM.
You have excellent leather seats on new RAM, all new for 2019. The details of the new Laramie and new leather seats are perfect. Also, an all-new design on the RAM, which makes it so comfortable. Besides, you’re gonna have your heated and ventilated seats and heated steering.
New Laramie RAM has many things like five different USB ports, and a giant 8.4-inch touchscreen is standard on Laramie. You have a remote start, so you can definitely use this nifty feature on cold days, and you’ll have dual climate control. Chrome appearance package can provide you with chrome hooks along with a chrome Mopar running board.
You have a Sport appearance grip; it will give you nice 20 inch wheels along with the sports car hood. But also on the front, there is a different blackout grill. So definitely a good look for RAM with a blackout grill. Besides, on the inside, you’ll have superior black leathers that look quite sharp.
On the black RAM appearance, you can get 22-inch wheels, black with silver accents. You can get blackout groups, which look sharp in every way, and a blackout badge.
The all-new RAM 2019 has lots of great additional features. The two-pane panoramic roof is a great feature to add to your new RAM, as well as the running board.
Now, the 12-inch touchscreen is another cool thing that can’t be had on Bighorn RAM. As an option, with a giant screen, you get a lot of technology.
You have AM / FM radio, Sirius XM, heated family seats, and the steering wheel is excellent. Of course, you have the standard dual climate control, Apple Carplay, and Android auto.
You’ll be glad that Laramie has a split screen now, and the cool thing is that you can literally change the different screens from top to bottom. If you want your media, you can do it too, with lots of advanced technology with this touch screen.
Also, one of our favorites is the 360-degree camera. What’s cool about the camera, in essence, is that it gives you an eye on the outside of your truck, so it’s good to see your surroundings. But also if you mount the boat, there is a hitch display, so it’s effortless to work with RAM.

Inside, you have premium leather seats that are super comfortable and also kind of matched with a real wood steering wheel.
The Limited is going to be the top dog of the RAM trim levels. Some of the things that will become standard are the 12-inch screen, Apple Carplay, and Android Auto. Also, with the five-seater model, it will have standard heated rear seats and a power running board.

The panoramic sunroof will be the first year. It’s terrific, really live inside your Limited 2019. Also, the reconfigurable center console is fantastic. Plus, you get a nice Limited badge. You have two center consoles; they are a shallow console with USB and a deeper one.
You have your kind of change holder up with closeable flaps that are specifically for Limited trim levels. Also, you have a great cup holder. Now, why it’s so reconfigurable is that you can literally swipe up and then actually keep the 15-inch laptop on the bottom.
Also, CD players are back, so you don’t have to worry about throwing away your old collection. Just play it through your Harman Kardon sound system. You do have USB and USB C fast chargers. Then you get RAM chargers as brand new for 2019 located in the center console. All you do is hang up the phone and forget about it, and the phone is charging while you are driving.
