Other available features include leather bucket seats, heated and ventilated front and back seats, adjustable air suspension, and a spray in bed-liner. Customizable Options There is almost no limit to customization when it comes to the Ram 1500. The trims are available in crew and quad cab, as well as with short, standard, or long beds. Optional features range from RamBox bed storage to towing and trailering components to blacked out grilles. Depending on what your intended use is, the Ram 1500 can be designed specifically as a work vehicle, a luxurious commuter car, or a combination of the two. In addition, buyers can choose from a number of different available engines. The standard on all trim levels is the 3.6-liter V-6, which gets 305 horsepower. All of the trims besides the HFE can be upgraded to a monstrous 5.7-liter V-8. No matter what your dream configuration is, Ram can make it happen.
