Whether you’re putting in a hard day on the work site, taking on the backcountry, or hauling a load, you want a full-size pickup that can handle the job at hand. That pickup is theĀ 2024 Ram 1500. Brawny and built like a boss, the Ram 1500 has several features that enhance its performance in a variety of conditions. And that’s not all. This pickup is more comfortable than your favorite La-Z-Boy.

4 Innovative Features of the 2024 Ram 1500 That Enhance Performance

1. Your Choice of Three Engines

The Ram 1500 can be equipped with your choice of three available engines, including a 3.6-liter V-6, a 5.7-liter V-8, and a supercharged 6.2-liter V-8. All engines pair with an eight-speed automatic transmission. The 5.7-liter engine offers a maximum towing capacity of up to 12,750 pounds, which is enough for serious work and play.

The Ram 1500 is also designed for efficient performance. An active air dam automatically extends downward when the truck approaches 30 miles per hour, reducing air drag. The elevated hood design and sculpted roof are designed to optimize air deflection.

2. Thoughtfully Designed Storage

Not everything you carry with you requires towing capacity. From laptops and blueprints to extension cords and trash bags, the Ram 1500 has a spot for it. This pickup has a lockable lower glove compartment as well as an available upper glove compartment that’s perfect for frequently used items.

An available reconfigurable center console offers enough space to hang file folders or store a 15-inch laptop. Crew cabs offer available in-floor storage. An available Cargo Management System also offers lighted, secure exterior storage.

3. Multifunction Tailgate

Not every job is the same. Fortunately, an available multifunction tailgate ensures that your Ram has lots of options when it comes to loading cargo. This tailgate has 60/40 split swing-away doors and can open down and lay flat while withstanding weight of up to 2,000 pounds. An accompanying Trailer Hitch Light makes it easy to see the hitch clearly, even at dusk.  

4. Off-Roading Capable

If you’re interested in off-roading, the Ram 1500 has a couple of different options for you. The 1500 Rebel comes with 33-inch tires, a one-inch raised ride height, and performance-tuned shock absorbers. The Ram 1500 Big Horn Backcountry edition also has special features that make it particularly well-suited for off-roading. Rugged off-road tires and heavy-duty shocks mean you can tackle just about any terrain in this version of the Ram 1500.
