Literally EVERY time I’ve test driven a truck, someone calls Clutch asking for help “hauling a load” and this week was no different. The 2019 Dodge Ram 1500 Longhorn Crew Cab worked well to haul a couch and love seat as well as a couple glass tables. It was nice getting to spend some time Looks: Pick-Up: Passenger Comfort: Comfort: with my folks and get a little LeRoy time in the cab to and fro the pickup. I’ve got to say that Dodge can up it’s game a bit, the Ram Box which is a tool box on the sides of the truck bed is very useful but they haven’t innovated at all since 2013. C’mon guys. Like every crew cab, there is PLENTY of room for the crew and the power of the RATING (out of 5 McFly’s) Safety & Security: Sound System: Bells & Whistles: Overall: 2019 DODGE RAM 1500 LONGHORN CREW CAB Questions?

[email protected] • Follow me on Ram is solid. The front end looks a little goofy to me but I know some think it gives of a tough, manly vibe. The 5.7-liter V8 Hemi is packed with power and delivers an ok 15/21 MPG. Priced at a surprising $67,335, the Dodge Ram 1500 Longhorn is affordable but on the lower rankings of trucks for Clutch.
