The new 2019 Ram 1500 has made its EMEA regional debut at the 2018 Geneva International Motor Show. Compared to the previous model, the new 2019 Ram 1500 is larger in size - despite weighing nearly 100 kg less - has a higher load and carrying capacity plus an extremely comfortable cab. Major innovations include a 10 cm increase in cab length, a 12-inch (304.8 mm) Uconnect™ display in the centre of the instrument cluster, impressive safety features and completely new interiors.

The two new 2019 Ram 1500 vehicles on show in Geneva are sure to impress the public with their awesome size and personality - a Limited trim version in Ivory White tricoat livery with leather interior, and a Rebel trim version in Flame Red with combined fabric/vinyl interior. Both pickups are equipped with 395hp HEMI® 5.7-litre V8 powertrains, eight speed automatic transmission and 4WD. The two vehicles will be displayed on a striking stand featuring both natural materials - including wood and stone - that underline the off-road personality of the Rebel trim, and black lacquered platforms and steel profiles that perfectly express the concept of luxury intrinsic to the new 2019 Ram 1500 Limited.

The Middle East is one of the key markets selected to spearhead the Ram brand’s expansion outside North America, where it has achieved significant success since becoming a stand-alone brand in 2009, winning numerous prestigious awards along the way.

The brand, which only makes trucks, has rapidly built a strong reputation as a truck specialist and has the distinction of being the most powerful regular cab truck available in the Middle East, with a 5.7 V8 HEMI engine standard across the range. The Ram brand portfolio available in the Middle East has grown significantly in response to customer demand, with the full range now available in showrooms. From the 1500 Express, which will appeal to customers looking for an affordable truck without compromising on design, to the sheer luxury of the Longhorn and Limited, which are targeted at customers looking for no compromise on luxury, there’s now a Ram for everyone.

The 2019 Ram 1500 will arrive in Ram showrooms across the Middle East in mid-year 2018. For more information on the Ram brand in Oman, visit the Dhofar Automotive website at www.dhofarautomotive.com or call +968 2452 4530.
