2019 Dodge Ram 1500 Truck
The rugged cowboy brand of sex appeal is a mainstay of Ram trucks, and the latest design just adds more. The Ram 1500 is a Popular Mechanics pick for a “hot pickup” and a tough, handsome beast.
But this Dodge Ram includes a smooth ride with a lighter load and a passel of aerodynamic innovations, too. A mild hybrid setup, 12-inch touchscreen display and a shiny grille with LED headlamps add an element of civilization to the barely restrained power.
For the off-road adventurer, the Rebel model switches it up with meaty tires (33-inch Goodyear Duratrac), tough stuff shocks, and hill descent control.
