The Ram 1500 is a workhorse, rough, rugged, and ready to take on just about any job. Practical enough for everyday driving, but tough enough for loading, transporting, and hauling whatever you need.

The 1500 is loaded with exterior conveniences, such as power-folding mirrors, power stainless-steel running boards, a power rear-sliding window with defrost, and a central locking system that secures the entire truck, including the tailgate and RamBox cargo system with a single button.

For 2013, the Ram 1500 Crew Cab also offers an optional full-size, 6-foot-4 cargo bed, adding even more options to the 1500’s already diverse line-up.
