Modern pickup trucks have become a common vehicle of choice for daily transportation, whether it is for getting to work, going to the supermarket or a weekend family outing. Manufacturers have responded by building pickups that are more fuel efficient and passenger friendly, many of them with features usually found only in automobiles.

However, there are still plenty of owners who want to tear up the terrain, climb over some rocks or splash through the mud when they are not taking the kids to soccer practice. Getting off the beaten path on a cross-country adventure requires a vehicle with off-road equipment. These vehicles have four-wheel drive, finely-tuned suspensions, locking rear differentials, increased ground clearance, and more; attributes that give them the characteristics needed to perform well on rough terrain. There are models to accommodate every off-roading preference: full or mid-size, gasoline or diesel, and manual or automatic.

As a result, pickup truck companies now offer several trim options that cater to a variety of uses: a down-and-dirty off-road adventure, hauling a heavy load or towing a big trailer, and the Sunday afternoon drive in comfort and style with the family.

Here are ten of the best off-road pickup trucks that will tear up any terrain and ten that should stay on the pavement.

20 Best Off-Road: RAM 1500 Rebel

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) RAM offers the 2019 model 1500 with an optional 4x4 Off-road Package, but buyers looking for off-road capabilities will probably just purchase the Rebel.

Available in late 2018, the completely revised fifth-generation 1500 boasts a new distinctive aerodynamic style, more space in the cab, and high-tech interior features. Nearly 225 pounds lighter than the current model, the lower weight and drag coefficient will improve fuel economy and performance.

A new rigid frame allows both quad-cab and crew-cab configurations. Rebel models are outfitted with a 1-inch coil spring suspension lift versus the standard truck, off-road-biased rear suspension geometry, redesigned remote-reservoir Bilstein shocks, and 33-inch Goodyear Wrangler DuraTrac all-terrain tires, connected to an electronic-locking rear differential.

An optional air suspension system gives the truck over ten inches of ground clearance. Ram claims the air suspension aids fuel efficiency when the truck is lowered at highway speeds. The system also improves ride quality and permits load leveling.

RAM announced three powertrain options including two hybrids: 3.6-liter V-6 plus synchronous AC electric motor with a combined output of 305 hp, 269 lb-ft; 5.7-liter V-8, plus synchronous AC electric motor, combined output, 395 hp, 410 lb-ft; and 5.7-liter V-8, 395 hp, 410 lb-ft.

An EcoDiesel may be announced late in 2018.

19 Best Off-Road: Ford F-150 Raptor

The Ford Raptor has dominated high-speed desert four-wheeling since it was introduced in 2010. Few off-roading pickup trucks can come close. Part of its success can be attributed to the powertrain which is unchanged for 2019. The 4x4 system is driven by a 450-horsepower 3.5-liter twin-turbo V-6 coupled to a 10-speed automatic transmission.

Available in a SuperCab or SuperCrew body configuration, Ford has added several performance-enhancing tech upgrades for 2019 to keep the Raptor a step ahead of the pack.

New Fox Racing shocks are the most significant modification. Without any input from the driver, the shock absorbers adapt to changing terrain in real-time.

Road and Track says about the improved suspension: “Previously, the Raptors suspension could only be adjusted from inside the cabin via six pre-set driving modes. Now, thanks to what Ford calls "Live Valve" technology, the suspension adjusts itself continuously in real-time while the truck is on the move. There's even a sensor that detects if the truck goes mid-air, in which case, it firms up the dampers to their stiffest setting to ensure a smooth impact.”

"Trail Control" is an off-road cruise control mode designed for speeds from 1-20 mph on particularly rough terrain automatically regulating power and braking to each wheel. Steering is the only function that remains for the driver.

18 Best Off-Road: GMC Sierra AT4

Feeling the pressure from rivals Ram 1500, Ford F-150, Nissan Titan, and Toyota Tundra, GMC has introduced a new sub-brand, the Sierra AT4 for the 2019 model year.

GMC has traditionally concentrated on luxury appointments including deluxe interiors and decorative chrome wheels. Their success with the upscale SLT and Denali trim levels accounts for most of GMC sales.

Although GMC has outfitted the AT4 with hardware for serious off-roading, it is much more than a purist, no-frills work truck. It displays off-road ability and expresses an attitude without sacrificing the luxurious features and technology.

The AT4 comes from the factory with a two-inch lift kit and Rancho monotube shocks. All-wheel drive is standard along with a locking rear differential and a two-speed transfer.

The standard AT4 powertrain is the 5.3-liter V-8 mated with an eight-speed automatic transmission. However, two alternatives offered include the turbo-diesel 3.0-liter inline-six or the 6.2-liter V-8. Both come with a new 10-speed automatic transmission. Stop-start fuel-saving systems are an added feature.

A carbon-fiber cargo bed is available that trims 62 pounds of weight, as compared to a traditional all-steel bed, means more fuel savings. The bed opens with GMC’s MultiPro tailgate which folds into six configurations serving as a step into the truck bed and helps accommodate extra-long cargo.

17 Best Off-Road: GMC Canyon All Terrain

The standard GMC Canyon is a smaller version of the Sierra with similar appearance and capabilities, but the All Terrain version includes features that give it the feel of a full-sized off-road pickup.

Based on the 4x4 SLE trim, the Canyon All Terrain includes the Z71 suspension package, Hill Descent Control, automatic locking rear differential, transfer case shield, specific grille inserts and lower bumper fascia, cloth heated front seats, 17-inch all-terrain tires, and cast aluminum wheels.

The All Terrain is no longer just a package; it is complete trim level. The interior appointments include power lumbar control for both heated cloth front seats, and body-color rear bumper.

Powertrain options include a 200-hp, 2.5-liter inline-4, a 308-hp 3.6-liter V-6, as well as a Duramax-branded 2.8-liter turbo diesel with 181 hp and 369 lb-ft. The 2.5- and 2.8-liter engines are matched to six-speed transmissions while the 3.6-liter engine comes standard with an 8-speed automatic.

GM offers the Active Tow system designed to help align the pickup when reversing to hook up a trailer. A standard feature only on the V-6 and diesel models.

With all the full sized off-road pickup capabilities the Canyon ranks near the top of its class. Only the Honda Ridgeline surpasses it on Car and Driver’s list of 10 Best-winning mid-sized pickups.

16 Best Off-Road: Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Z71

The Z71 option gives off-road capability to either the LT or LTZ trims. The package adds an off-road-tuned suspension with Rancho monotube shocks that deliver a smooth ride on all types of terrain. The hill descent control sets and maintains vehicle speed in either forward or reverse while descending a steep incline. Also included are an Eaton heavy-duty automatic locking differential and underbody skid plates covering the transfer case.

The package adds a high capacity air cleaner, 18" or 20" wheels, and all-terrain tires. To distinguish the Z71 from the standard Silverado 1500, an appearance package is added including gauge clusters, different door plates, a special grille, and a unique lower front bumper.

After an off-road test, thedrive.com commented, “The Z71 package makes jaunting off the beaten path easy as pie. My Silverado so easily conquered soggy, rock-strewn Vermont two-tracks that would rip the exhaust system out of many lesser off-roaders, I never even needed to shift the four-wheel-drive system out of RWD mode. Some of the credit goes to the tall & toothy off-road tires, but the Z71-specific suspension deserves recognition as well, providing a jacked-up ride height that soaks up nasty off-road bumps while still supplying a supple highway drive.”

15 Best Off-Road: Chevrolet Colorado ZR2

Chevrolet faces fierce competition in the mid-size truck market but has responded with the Colorado ZR2, a more than worthy adversary.

Motor Trend wrote: “The Chevy Colorado has been our favorite midsize pickup on the market ever since it won back-to-back Truck of the Year titles in 2015 and 2016. For the 2017 model year, Chevy turns the now-proven Colorado formula up a notch with the trail- and desert-ready Colorado ZR2.”

Chevrolet made minor changes to the ZR2 for 2018 including the optional Active Tow, a system that helps the driver align the pickup when reversing to hook up a trailer.

Both the 2017 and 2018 boast a long list of off-road add-ons, but the most significant feature on the new truck is the suspension system. The ZR2 is equipped with the well-known Dynamic Suspension Spool Valve (DSSV) dampers by Multimatic. Along with a suspension lift of 2 inches and 3.5-inch-wider track, the suspension allows the ZR2 to achieve high speeds on the sand, provides maximum rock climbing articulation, and improves street performance and ride quality.

Off-road performance is further enhanced with a sturdier rear axle, a locking rear differential, a locking front differential, and front control arms. To complete the package, Chevy added additional body armor to the ZR2 along with 17-inch wheels and 31-inch Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac tires.

14 Best Off-Road: Nissan Titan XD Pro-4X

The Nissan Titan XD falls in between two pickup categories, the popular light-duty trucks and heavy-duty pickups with towing capacities for the most demanding jobs. The Titan XD tows more and carries a heavier payload than the standard Titan or a half-ton truck such as the Ford F-150, but less than a heavy-duty pickup.

For the off-road enthusiast, the Pro-4X trim not only offers numerous off-road-oriented appointments, but it is the only model in either truck class available with a diesel engine.

The PRO-4X Crew Cab adds 4-wheel drive with a switch-operated 2-speed transfer case, hill-descent control, Bilstein coil-over shocks that give the Pro-4X excellent off-road capabilities and an improved ride on the street, and 18-in alloy wheels with all-terrain tires.

The package also adds a tow hitch with built-in 4- and 7-inch pin connectors, durable radiator and transfer-case skid plates, a power-sliding rear window, rear-seat vents and a spray-in bed liner. Other amenities include a 7.0-inch infotainment touchscreen, NissanConnect with navigation and mobile apps, dual-zone climate control, power plugs, and blind-spot monitors, and more.

The standard Titan XD engine is a 5.6-liter V-8 with 390 hp and 394 lb-ft of torque coupled to a 7-speed automatic. A Cummins 5.0-liter V-8 turbodiesel is optional, offering superior towing capacity (more than 12,000 pounds) and more torque (555 lb-ft).

13 Best Off-Road: Nissan Frontier Pro-4X

Although the Frontier is offered in five trim levels, the Pro-4X gives the truck its off-road capability. Underneath the hood, the robust 4.0-liter V-6, rated at 261 hp and 281 lb-ft of torque sends power through a 5-speed automatic or a 6-speed manual to all four wheels. The powertrain is equal to any of the rivals in its class with a maximum tow capacity of 6,290 pounds. A bed extender and spray-in liner make handling onboard loads easier.

For off-roaders unafraid of tackling a steep climb, the available hill start assist temporarily holds brake pressure to prevent rolling backward. During a steep descent, the hill descent control automatically maintains the vehicle at the ideal speed and brake pressure in four-wheel drive.

The carconnection.com wrote: “Two off-road versions of the Frontier extend this truck’s capability. The rear-wheel-drive Desert Runner has a tall suspension with Bilstein shocks and all-terrain tires, while the four-wheel-drive Pro-4X builds on that with a proper transfer case and an electric locking rear differential. With nearly nine inches of ground clearance and decent approach and departure angles, the Frontier makes a decent exploration vehicle if you like that new truck smell and a full warranty.”

12 Best Off-Road: Toyota Tacoma TRD Pro

Toyota’s top-of-the-line off-road model, the Tacoma TRD Pro, is powered exclusively by a 3.5-liter V-6 that generates 278 hp and 265 lb-ft of torque, in the Double Cab (crew cab) short-bed setup, available in either a six-speed manual or a six-speed automatic transmission.

Toyota has fine-tuned the 1.0-inch lift suspension of the TRD Pro for more wheel articulation and off-road driving control than other models. Standard hardware has been exchanged with Fox internal bypass off-road shocks, stiffer tire sidewalls, and an electronically locking differential.

A multi-terrain mode included with the TRD Pro permits control of throttle and hill-descent, traction settings, and power distribution for several terrains including rocks, sand, mud, and snow.

The result is a pickup truck with undisputed off-road capability gained at the expense of street driving comfort.

Toyota’s Safety Sense-P adds a host of standard active safety features to the mid-size pickup. The list includes adaptive cruise control, lane-departure warning, forward-collision warning, automated emergency braking, rear parking sensors, and automatic high-beams.

Car and Driver wrote: “Forget carlike handling. The Tacoma sticks with the formula that it has done well with for many moons: being a pickup. Far from the first choice for ride quality and handling, it’ll tackle the trails or rough back roads with ease.”

11 Best Off-Road: RAM Power Wagon

"Rough, tough and ready to rumble off-road, the Power Wagon is a special variant of the heavy-duty Ram 2500 that's optimized for climbing over boulders and muscling through deep ruts. Like the rest of the Ram's HD pickup lineup, it's received several updates over the past few years that added significantly more output, capability, and technology to the big truck," says Leftlanenews.com

The Power Wagon has a redesigned frame constructed with high-strength 50 KSI steel enhancing roll stiffness, resulting in a more mass-efficient foundation for towing and hauling. The pickup is equipped with a five-link rear axle and rear coil springs, providing a comfortable ride when the truck is unladen. A modified three-link setup in the front offers improved axle articulation. The suspension is designed to maintain the wheels touching the ground in undulating terrain, irrespective of speed.

The Ram Power Wagon comes with some unique standard equipment that distinguishes it from the competition: a double-jointed front suspension with a front anti-roll bar disconnect and locking differentials front and rear.

The truck also comes with five Bilstein dampers (including one steering stabilizer), manual-shift four-wheel drive, a full set of skid plates, tow hooks, and a large alternator. The front bumper supports an integrated 12,000-pound Warn winch the Power Wagon wears load range D tires for maximum flexibility and traction.

10 Pavement Only: Honda Ridgeline

If the cargo you intend to transport is just a few cardboard boxes that won’t fit in the trunk of your sedan and the only off-roading you plan to do is the soft shoulder of the main highway when you get a flat tire, then the Honda Ridgeline may be the perfect pickup truck for you.

Named on their 10 Best Trucks and SUVs by Car and Driver and selected one of Edmunds' Best Pickup Trucks for 2018, the Ridgeline is the quintessential crossover.

Edmunds wrote: “The 2018 Honda Ridgeline is the most well-rounded midsize truck on the market today. Sure, its 5,000-pound tow rating doesn't look as impressive on paper as some competitors', and it can't crawl over desert rock formations as easily as some specially tuned models. But it's comfortable and versatile and offers most of the utility you're looking for.”

Honda offers a single powertrain on the Ridgeline, a 280-hp V-6 mated to a six-speed automatic transmission. Front-wheel drive is standard, and all-wheel drive is optional. The Ridgeline uses a unibody design rather than the traditional body-on-frame used by most pickup trucks. The four-wheel independent suspension provides a superior ride quality and gives it a refined level of handling uncharacteristic of a pickup truck.

9 Pavement Only: Toyota Tacoma

Most pickup truck manufacturers offer a base trim that lacks the necessary equipment for off-roading. Toyota is no different. The Tacoma can be configured in six trim levels.

The SR is their base level, work truck trim best used on the street only, but they also offer the Limited edition appointed with luxury features excluding the off-road enhancements. The trim delivers a smoother, quieter, and more satisfying ride than TRD off-road versions.

The base level SR trim is powered by a 2.7-liter inline 4-cylinder engine that produces 159 hp and 180 lb-ft of torque. The other trims, including the luxurious Limited, are equipped with a 3.5-liter V-6, 278 hp and 265 lb-ft of torque. Both engines are available with a 6-speed manual transmission or 6-speed automatic transmission. The SR and the Limited trims come standard with rear-wheel drive.

Infotainment on all Tacoma trims include a 2.2-inch multi-information LCD display, Bluetooth, an Entune Audio system featuring a 6.1-inch touchscreen display, Siri Eyes Free voice recognition, and six-speaker AM/FM CD audio. Only the Limited has a six-speaker JBL audio system with subwoofer.

Exclusive to the Limited and TRD Pro trims are leather seats, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, dual-zone automatic climate control, and a HomeLink universal transceiver garage door remote control.

8 Pavement Only: Toyota Tundra

Perhaps best known for its off-road dexterity, Toyota offers some attractive trim levels and features for the pavement-minded buyer.

Perhaps the most impressive are the standard safety features Toyota has implemented on all 2018 Tundra models. The most captivating addition is Toyota Safety Sense, making it competitive with domestic rivals like the Ram 1500. The array of advanced safety assists includes adaptive cruise control, automatic high-beams, lane-departure warning, forward-collision warning, and automated emergency braking with pedestrian detection. While many of these attributes are of little interest to the off-road enthusiast, they are a welcomed addition to the street-only owner.

The Tundra is offered with a V-8 powertrain only. The standard engine is a 310-horsepower 4.6-liter V-8 that powers the SR and SR5. All other models are equipped with the more powerful 381-horsepower 5.7-liter V-8 with 401 lb-ft of torque. All Tundra’s V-8s are coupled to a 6-speed automatic. Rear-wheel drive is standard on most models while four-wheel drive with a two-speed transfer case is an option.

Toyota offers the Tundra in two high-end trims, the Platinum and 1794 Edition. Both have sunroofs, cooled front seats, upgraded leather trim, and 20-inch wheels. The Western-themed 1794 Edition is available in earth-tone colors with plenty of chrome. The Platinum has a more subdued, upscale appearance, with color-matched bumpers and toned-down badging.

7 Pavement Only: Nissan Titan

Offered in the full-size configuration, or the heavy-duty XD trim, the Titan is available in five trims, two powertrains, three cabs, with plenty of options.

Car research website thecarconnection.com describes the pickup truck: “The 2018 Nissan Titan and Titan XD fill in the gaps left by others with a reasonable price, reasonable performance, and better warranty.”

The most attractive feature may be the guarantee. The Titan has the best limited and powertrain warranty in its class. All trucks are backed by a 5-year/100,000-mile bumper-to-bumper guarantee, a three year or 36,000 miles (second-shortest) roadside-assistance coverage, and complimentary scheduled maintenance does not detract from its comprehensive protection plan.

Currently, the Nissan Titan is delivered only with the 5.6-liter naturally aspirated V-8, generating 390 hp and 394 lb-ft of torque, while mated exclusively to a seven-speed automatic transmission. A diesel V-8 option is available only for the heavy-duty Titan XD. Nissan has confirmed that a V-6 option is on its way for the half-ton Titan giving buyers a more fuel-efficient option than the powerful V-8.

For the street-only driver, the bed options at 5.5-, 6.5-, or 8-foot lengths, provide ample capacity for hauling large loads. While the Nissan’s frame and suspension are not optimized for absorbing impacts from bumps and holes, even on the pavement the well-isolated cab and the comfortable seats produce a smooth ride.

6 Pavement Only: Ford F-150 Limited

Ford has dominated the pickup truck segment for over 40 years and 2018 is no different. Although faced with stiff competition the new F-150 was named the Truck of the Year by auto authority, Motor Trend. The study combines expert opinion with real-world testing to identify vehicles that excel in engineering excellence, cutting-edge design, efficiency, performance, value, and safety.

“This year’s competition was fierce, but the vote was unanimous,” said Motor Trend editor in chief, Ed Loh. ”The newly redesigned 2018 F-150 exceeded our expectations in every category – powertrain, performance, technology and overall execution.”

While the F-150 offers superlative off-road trims, the street versions also place at the top of their class. Revised for 2018, the F-150's T-square design may be called majestic; a design stamped into aluminum body panels that significantly reduce the truck's weight. A robust steel structure ensures that the full-size, light-duty pickup truck can handle any chore, whether traversing rocky desert paths or towing up to 13,200 pounds on the city and highway streets.

While the Ford F-150 Raptor is in a class by itself for off-road performance, the utility pickup pavement-pounder is best represented by the F-150 Limited. Equipped with the 3.5L EcoBoost V6 that delivers a best-in-class 510 lb-ft. of torque, the elegant and luxurious Limited has ample power for any on-road hauling or towing task.

5 Pavement Only: Chevrolet Silverado 1500 High Country

While the Silverado 1500 basic configuration is adequate for street uses like hauling or towing, the well-optioned High Country does it better and in style, but at a price over $60,000.

Bordering on decadence, the High Country adds cooled front seats, upgraded leather, wireless charger, and additional safety tech like active lane control and automatic emergency braking to the long list of features also found on lesser trims.

The 2018 Silverado 1500 offers three flavors of naturally aspirated 6- and 8-cylinder engines, plus an optional hybrid. The basic Work Truck 1500 includes a 4.3-liter V-6 rated at 285 hp and 305 lb-ft of torque. Even with a modest load aboard, the powertrain is more than adequate and provides suitable acceleration. Rated at an impressive 7,600 pounds for towing, the pickup truck engine sends power either rearward or to all four wheels via a 6-speed automatic transmission.

Most buyers opt for the more powerful 5.3-liter V-8, but for those owners needing to transport gear, lots of humans or a trailer, the optional 6.2-liter V-8 with 420 hp and 460 lb-ft of torque connected to an eight-speed automatic is up to the task.

The Silverado 1500 High Country provides all the luxury one could hope for in a truck designated for use on the pavement only.

4 Pavement Only: Ford F-450 Limited

Autoweek.com wrote about the Ford F-250 Limited: “As pickup trucks have become more than just a tool for a job, they’ve received more features and heftier price tags. The modern luxe-truck features an interior that would rival premium interiors from a decade ago and bear a price that challenges luxury cars today. Of course, trucks have managed to stay south of six-digit price tags -- that is, until the Ford F-450 Super Duty Limited.”

Customers with no budget limits who opt for the most expensive version of the F-450 Limited probably won’t be spending their afternoons rock climbing and splashing through the mud. However, they might need the power to tow a horse trailer, drag their new speedboat or take it tailgating.

The ultra-luxe truck boasts heated and ventilated leather front seats, adaptive cruise control, adaptive steering, a standard 360-degree camera, LED headlights, and a panoramic sunroof.

In standard trim, the 6.7-liter Powerstroke diesel-powered, F-450 Super Duty Limited starts at $87,100. Selecting options like the deluxe massaging seats (considered mandatory by some buyers) and other luxurious appointments will send the F-450 Super Duty limited to its fully-loaded sticker price of $94,455. With tax and license fees the pickup reaches over $100,000 worth of rolling luxury.

3 Pavement Only: RAM Laramie Longhorn Southfork

Just before the Texas State Fair, Ram Trucks introduced the latest and greatest Laramie Longhorn pickup truck, the Southfork Edition which will only be sold in the state.

Packed with technology and luxury appointments the truck will make long hauls on Texas highways more tolerable. Off-roading with the Southfork Edition will most likely be limited to the occasional dirt country road.

The new Ram Laramie Longhorn Southfork Edition will be offered on the complete Ram lineup, including the 1500, the 2500, and the 3500, in the 4×2 and 4×4 configuration, Crew Cab, Mega cab, and short or long box.

Autonationdrive.com wrote: “Just sitting in the Southfork was a treat. The seats (heated and ventilated up front; heated in the back) were covered in handsome Canyon Brown and Light Frost Beige Natura Plus full-grain leather. There was more leather wrapped around the A- and B-pillar grab handles. The steering wheel was a combination of even more leather, warm metallic trim, and genuine Walnut wood. Designers dressed the center stack and center console in galvanized-look trim and Walnut-colored ash wood accents. Chrome accents added flash while Ruby Red stitching added a pop of color…it was clear that the Southfork wasn’t a ranch hand’s truck. It was a truck fit for a cattle baron.”

2 Pavement Only: GMC Sierra Denali

The top trim of any GMC vehicle is the Denali edition. A luxury pickup truck designed for street use only, it includes most of the features available on lower trim levels and has all the available driver assistance features. It adds 20-inch wheels, exclusive adaptive suspension dampers, and unique interior appointments.

A full four-door Crew Cab with choice of 2WD or 4WD, it is equipped with the 6.2-liter V-8 and eight-speed transmission giving the truck plenty of power and acceleration to pull out and pass.

Drivetribe.com wrote: “Towing 12.500 lbs: no problem. Doing 0-60 in 5.6 seconds: no problem. Getting 15 MPG: no problem. Even so, this is by far one of my favorite engines in existence. GM tunes it for use on many different platforms. In this case, we're going for maximum torque and towing capacity. Though it's not the most efficient engine in its class, it does manage to make it one of the fastest trucks we ever tested. The engine note is throaty and deep and sounds better than any V6 out there…"

As luxurious as the Denali trim is, there is an upgrade, the Denali Ultimate Package available only on 4WD models. It adds chromed tow hooks, automatic running boards, an active noise cancellation system, an integrated trailer brake controller, a power sunroof, and 22-inch paint-and-chrome wheels.

1 Pavement Only: Ram 1500 Limited 4WD Crew Cap Tungsten

The Tungsten version of RAM’s 1500 Limited takes the top-end trim to another level. The tungsten chrome body side molding and grille, unique 20″ satin wheels, body colored handles, mirrors, and front bumper, a sport hood with dual air vents, and more distinguish it from the other models.

Powered by a 395 hp, 5.7-liter V-8 HEMI engine generating 410 lb-ft. of torque, the power is more than adequate for transporting cargo and passengers. With a maximum towing capacity of 10,620 pounds, hauling a good-size trailer is a breeze.

While the power, acceleration, and towing capacity of the limited edition are impressive, it is the luxurious ride of the pickup that distinguishes it from the competition.

The advanced 4-corner air suspension offers a cushioned ride uncharacteristic of a rugged pickup truck. The system stabilizes the truck with automatic load leveling when the bed is filling. It also allows the truck ride height to increase as much as 2 inches over normal driving mode, providing up to 10.7 inches of ground clearance when required.

The truck automatically lowers by 0.6 inches at highway speeds, improving aerodynamics, reducing drag, and improving fuel efficiency. Activated via the key fob, the suspension can be lowered as much as 2.1 inches making truck entry and exit easier.
