Advantages of the 2019 Ram 1500 

There are quite a few advantages that the 2019 Ram 1500 has over the 2019 Toyota Tundra. To start, the 1500 offers two different engine options for the Tradesman trim. The standard engine is 5 horsepower under the only option the Tundra offers, so there isn’t much difference there. However, the second engine option with the 1500 surpasses the Tundra in power. The 1500 also offers two transmission options for its driver that are more advanced than the Tundra’s only option. Not only does the 1500 win on both the engine power and transmission, but this truck generates a much better fuel economy. The 2019 Ram 1500 travels five mpg more in the city and six mpg more on the highway. The 1500 even provides a proximity key, whereas this feature is not standard with the Tundra.
