The 2019 Ram 1500 broke cover Monday and revealed a new face for the full-size pickup that pushed the hauler further into family detail. The new truck is longer—about four inches, added entirely to the cab—lower by about an inch, and wider by a half-inch.

Its cabin is plush with an available 12-inch tablet-style touchscreen, more interior storage than...
