The 2019 RAM 1500 offers the largest-in-class touchscreen with a total diagonal size of 12 inches. If you think that’s not too much bigger than the 8.4-inch touchscreen that’s also available on the RAM 1500, then you would be wrong. The 12-inch display actually provides enough room to have two 8.4-inch displays stacked on top of each other.

What RAM 1500 trims does the 12-inch screen come with?

This new 12-inch touchscreen has a lot of people talking, but what trim level does it come with? If you truly want the 12-inch Uconnect experience, then you will have to go with the top Limited trim to get it. This Limited trim also includes a ton of other features to make it a true luxury truck.

Other trim levels feature similar technology with the Spot, Laramie, and Laramie Longhorn all getting an 8.4-inch touchscreen and the rest of the lineup getting a 5-inch touchscreen. However, some of the features including split-screen, will not be available on those other infotainment systems.
