Just went to philadelphia auto show yesterday. Sat in the new 2019 Ram. Wow, that interior is so much nicer than GM's. Much nicer than the 2019 GM interior as well. They really knocked it out of the park. Has me seriously considering it.

Also, not that I'm interested in buying one of these. You guys have to see the new navigator interior. It's probably the nicest interior I've ever seen in my life. Pictures don't do it justice.

I have no idea how GM is going to compete with this in the escalade.

Thanks for sharing these pictures.  The Navigator looks good but the ram is far too busy, imo.

It is a little busy, but makes you feel like you're driving something special. When you sit it in you really get wow'd.

 

It doesn't help that the huge screen in the RAM is displaying the busiest looking thing possible.

oh and here's a better angle of the navigator interior. You can't tell from the first photo, but the center console is sort of floating and it just looks so cool. I was just in shock when I sat in it.

I mean look at this thing!

Damn that Lincoln interior is starting to compare to some European manufacturers with price tags 5x that.

And hands down that RAM interior is nice!  Harman Kardon is a nice touch.

 

Don't know how I feel about the "RAM BOX."  Basically less bed space for small side covered storage.

Anyone know if the RAM will be offered with the 6.4L 392 Hemi Engine?

One of the last trucks I owned was a 2013 Ram 1500, I will say the interior design and feel is amazing, very comfortable to drive.  The 2019 they just stepped it up to a new level in my opinion...

only pic I could find with the screen off2019-Ram-1500-Laramie-13.jpg

 

 

Looks too busy for my taste. That’s just my opinion

I test drove a 2017 Laramie that while loaded to the gills, didn’t seem this busy.

I'm a tech guy, I really like the new Ram interior. I've owned a Ram and always found their interiors to be nice and comfortable.

 

The Navigator, I'm not a fan of. I don't like the look where the touchscreen looks like it was just tacked onto the dash. And the floating console probably doesn't offer much storage. And that maroon/brown..

Seats look nice though.

Thanks for posting up. I'm seriously considering swapping out the wife's escalade with the new navigator. The interior and options are amazing. Exterior not so much but they are almost there with the styling.

It seems like luxury vehicles are moving this direction with the screen.  I think it allows for a more elegant dash design since the dash doesn't have to wrap around it.  My wife's A4 has a very similar looking dash with the floating screen.

What's sad is it's clearly GM is releasing a new truck that is already out done by the competition, at least interior wise. Gm has decided to be lazy in the interior department and it shows with a nearly regurgitated 14-18 interior in the new 19 model line. The competition looks to have upped it's game while GM continues to play catch-up.

 

I wont even bother talking Lincoln who has some of the nicest and most lux interiors being made by an American company right now, Cadillac cant even come close to matching the materials used, GM simply produces nothing in it's realm at the moment imo.

I expect truck interiors to rival high end SUV's for refinement in a few short years. Seems like I read an article that stated many upper middle class families and some well heeled upper income people stated they want more refined interiors. The article also stated they were willing to pay for it and it was a priority to them. Trucks are hot ...hot ..hot to all facets of income . Hell I remember the days when you drove a truck you carried a stigma of a redneck or hillbilly . Today doctors and lawyers drive them. Maybe more importantly their wives drive and love them too lol.  Sure we will always have the old stripper ''work truck'' but beyond that offering I believe interior materials and fefinement is just at the tip of the iceberg .

      The Peckish Synapse

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling.

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.

      Diesel hit $6.00 here today at the truck stop.   Payed $2.79 for E85 today too.
