Exclusive Features

The Ram 1500 offers better equipment than the F-150, and that advantage starts in the base trim:

• Standard Spray-In Bedliner
• Standard Class IV Hitch Receiver
• Standard Cruise Control

Those features allow you to get in your truck and get to work right away. In addition, you can upgrade many of the Ram 1500’s systems with features that aren’t available in the F-150. The Ram 1500’s exclusive Active-Level Air Suspension is a particular highlight:

• Control your clearance height straight from the dashboard.
• On the highway, the Ram 1500 automatically lowers for better fuel economy.
• Five ride height settings supply superior comfort either on or off the streets of Springfield, OH.
