What do you plan to use your truck for? Will it be your everyday-task champion, or do you seek its power for the heavy-duty items on your to-do list? Depending on the purpose your Ram 1500 will serve will determine how much power your truck needs. With a range of potent engine options, there's a Ram 1500 engine configuration for you.

How much power your truck produces will vary based on trim level, but the following are three common engine configurations you're likely to encounter:

While these numbers are impressive, it's what the Ram 1500 can do with them that's magical. Towing capabilities vary based on engine and trim level, but it's possible that your Ram 1500 can tow up to 5,783 kilograms (12,750 pounds). Work materials, lumber for your new deck, a fishing boat, you name it, and the Ram can carry it.

Life's unpredictable--but the Ram 1500 is built to handle it all. Off-roading is one of its areas of expertise, with the capability to tackle rough trails and uneven terrain with confidence. Whether the road ahead is smooth or rugged, the Ram 1500 is ready to rise to the challenge and kick up some dirt along the way.

Select trim levels have a slew of terrain-tuned features. With these available features in its off-road toolbox, nothing will stand in this truck's way:

• 18-inch off-roading wheels
• Off-road calibrated shocks
• 299.7-millimetre (11.8-inch) ground clearance
• Tow hooks
• Underbody skid plates

You can go anywhere confidently with the Ram 1500. No, seriously. Whether you're craving sandy shores, snowy escapes, or slick trails, this truck's available 4x4 drivetrain and off-roading features make it the perfect addition to every adventure.

Many Ram 1500 models are available in one of two bed sizes: a short bed that's about 5-foot-7-inches or a long bed that's about 6-foot-4-inches. Either bed is spacious enough for camping supplies, coolers, and fishing poles, but the long bed may be better suited for those who frequently need to transport wooden planks.

Regardless of which bed size you choose, your Ram 1500 may be outfitted with the available multifunction tailgate with 60/40-split swing-away door. These doors make quickly grabbing something from the bed easier. The innovative 88-degree opening allows you to access the tailgate, even with a trailer hitched to the back.

Sticking with tradition, the multifunction tailgate can also open 180 degrees into a flat configuration and can withstand up to 907 kilograms (2,000 pounds). So go ahead and fill the bed with whatever equipment you need to get the job done--the Ram 1500 can easily handle it!

Drivers who find peace of mind and satisfaction in organization will love the Ram 1500's available smart storage solutions, including:

• RamBox® Cargo Management System -- This lockable, lighted, and weather-proof box on the side of the truck bed can be used for tools, emergency kits, or as an on-the-go cooler for tailgate parties.
• In-Floor Storage -- These class-exclusive bins have removable liners for easy cleaning, a 38-centimetre (15-inch) molded-in ruler, and two tie-downs.
• Reconfigurable Centre Console -- This feature reimagines your centre console by leaving enough room for a 15-inch laptop, file hangers, and organized essentials.

With many places to store your items, you'll be prepared for any task, challenge, or adventure.

The Ram 1500 helps you always stay in the know. A centre touchscreen display that ranges from five to 12 inches acts as your hub for all things infotainment. Sync your smartphone via available wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ to bring your favourite playlists along for the ride.
