What are some top features that help with the power of the Ram 1500?
Beyond just having an engine you can rely on, there are other ways in which the Ram 1500 is boosting the performance you can get out of it! Our goal is to make sure you understand that this is a well-rounded truck that can handle quite literally anything you throw at it. It all starts with how the 2026 Ram 1500 is built in the first place, with a 98% steel frame construction, and an available class-exclusive Active-Level four-corner air suspension. Together, the foundation of the Ram 1500 remains tough and durable, and ready for anything. We also want to mention Selec-Speed control, which allows you to stay focused on your steering, while this system keeps your speed consistent as you handle different terrain. Finally, when you opt for a model like the Ram 1500 Rebel, you'll gain things like front/rear Bilstein performance-tuned shock absorbers, a lifted suspension, and 33-inch tires.
Are there any Ram 1500 models that offer more power and performance?
We want to specifically mention three unique 2026 Ram 1500 models when it comes to power and performance.

You may also want to consider the previously mentioned Rebel model, which gets you not only an air suspension system, but also a selectable E-Locker in the rear axle!
