About This 2019 RAM 1500 Laramie
The 2019 RAM 1500 represents a major generational leap for RAM's flagship pickup. This was the first full model year of the all-new fifth-generation 1500, bringing a fully boxed steel frame, coil-spring rear suspension, and a dramatically refined interior — changes that set it apart from virtually every competitor at the time of its release.
This particular truck is a 4-Door Crew Cab finished in Diamond Black Crystal Pearl, one of RAM's more striking color options that gives the truck a clean, commanding presence. With 92,170 miles on the clock, this is a well-traveled but far-from-worn-out truck. A properly maintained HEMI-powered RAM 1500 has a well-documented track record of reaching 200,000 miles and beyond, which means this one still has plenty of working life left.
2019 RAM 1500 Performance and Engine
The HEMI 5.7L V8 — Built for Real Work and Real Roads
Under the hood sits the HEMI 5.7L V8 with Multi Displacement Variable Valve Timing — an engine that has earned a devoted following among truck buyers for good reason. This engine produces 395 horsepower and 410 lb-ft of torque, giving this truck the muscle to tow up to 11,610 lbs when properly equipped.
Paired with an 8-Speed Automatic transmission, power delivery is smooth and confident whether you're merging onto Highway 99, hauling equipment through the Central Valley, or towing a trailer across the Sierra Nevada foothills. The Multi Displacement System (MDS) allows the engine to drop to four cylinders during light-load cruising, improving fuel economy during those long stretches between jobs.
This truck is configured as Rear-Wheel Drive, which is the preferred setup for many California buyers who prioritize towing capacity, payload, and fuel efficiency without the added weight and complexity of a four-wheel-drive system. For buyers in the San Joaquin Valley and surrounding flatlands, RWD is a capable, practical choice.
RAM 1500 Laramie Features and Interior
Laramie Trim — Where Comfort Meets Capability
The Laramie trim sits in the upper tier of the RAM 1500 lineup, offering a long list of premium features that blur the line between work truck and luxury vehicle. Buyers can expect leather-trimmed seating, heated and ventilated front seats, a heated steering wheel, and an 8.4-inch Uconnect touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and navigation.
The 4-Door Crew Cab configuration gives this truck one of the most spacious rear seat areas in the full-size pickup segment — genuinely comfortable for adult passengers on long hauls. Additional Laramie features typically include a 9-speaker Alpine audio system, dual-zone automatic climate control, remote start, power-adjustable pedals, and a spray-in bedliner. The RamBox storage option and multifunction tailgate may also be present — ask our team at Madera Auto Center for a full feature walk-through on this specific unit.
RAM 1500 Reliability and Ownership
What Owners and Experts Say About the Fifth-Gen RAM 1500
The fifth-generation RAM 1500 launched in 2019 to near-universal praise from automotive journalists and buyers alike. J.D. Power awarded it top scores in initial quality, and Consumer Reports has recognized the model's strong dependability ratings in subsequent years.
The HEMI 5.7L V8 has been in production for decades and is one of the most proven powerplants in the American truck market. Known issues to be aware of at this mileage range include inspecting the water pump, spark plugs, and rear differential fluid — standard maintenance items for a truck in this range. The MDS lifter system, while generally reliable, is worth confirming has been serviced per RAM's recommended intervals. Overall, buyers who maintain this truck properly are investing in a platform designed for longevity.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the 2019 RAM 1500 Laramie a good buy?
Yes — the 2019 RAM 1500 Laramie is widely considered one of the best full-size pickup trucks of its generation. The fifth-gen platform introduced major improvements in ride quality, interior refinement, and technology. The Laramie trim adds genuine luxury features without reaching into the higher-cost Limited or Longhorn pricing territory, making it an excellent value in the used market.
How many miles is too many for a used RAM 1500 with a HEMI?
The HEMI 5.7L V8 is one of the most durable engines in the truck segment. With proper maintenance, 150,000 to 200,000+ miles is very achievable. At 92,170 miles, this truck is well into its working life but nowhere near the end of it — especially if records show consistent oil changes and fluid maintenance.
What does the 2019 RAM 1500 Laramie trim include?
The Laramie trim typically includes leather seating, heated and ventilated front seats, a heated steering wheel, the 8.4-inch Uconnect touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, dual-zone climate control, remote start, an Alpine sound system, and premium exterior badging and wheels. It's a significant step up from mid-level trims like the Big Horn or Lone Star.
Is RWD practical for a full-size truck in California?
For most buyers in California's Central Valley and foothill communities, RWD is a very practical choice. It saves weight compared to 4WD, improves fuel economy, and is well-suited to towing and hauling on paved roads and flat terrain. Buyers who regularly drive in snow or off-road terrain may prefer 4WD, but for the majority of use cases in this region, RWD is entirely capable.
