Pickup truck may be superior in flexibility and rugged capabilities, but over the last decade they have also dipped into the well of luxury. You can still buy a 1500 Ram stripped almost to the bone of every upscale feature - but then again you can spend more than $ 50,000 on the version that was really fancy with plusher interior than in the several hundred-grand sedan we've driven.

This year, 1500 base price ranges from $ 23,585 for the Ram Tradesman 4x2 regular-cab, short bed, for $ 48,415 for crew cab 4X4 Laramie Longhorn. In all there are nine levels of trim, to date: the Tradesman, Express, HFE, SLT, Bighorn / Lone Star (local package), Outdoorsman, Sport, Laramie and Laramie Longhorn, with a limited edition tenth in the plans for later in the model year .

From the model, HFE is the only body style offered in / single bed, a regular cab with a short bed. The Laramie Longhorn comes only in the Crew Cab body, both with long sleep. All other trim levels can be determined in at least two long beds, and in two or more body styles.

Base Ram 1500 pickup does not have much on the list of features: they get the black bumper, spray-in bedliner, manual mirrors and door locks, 17-inch wheels, vinyl bench seats, column-mounted shifter, roll-up windows and an AM / FM radio standards - but they also get a USB port. From there, the model loosely grouped cheap and plusher end of the spectrum, from trucks Tradesman highlighting an excellent towing capacity of 10,450 pounds, for Sport R / T truck with a standard HEMI power and acceleration best-in-class trucks, Laramie Longhorn truck for the heated leather seats, power features, remote start, rearview camera, and even Bluetooth-enabled, hard-drive based music system and voice-activated navigation system.

Ram is also equipped with a new powered USB, SD card and aux-in port, as well as the full iPod control via USB, as well as expand the steering-wheel controls. Chrysler has a comfortable radio controls mounted behind the steering wheel still, but we hope you can flip through presets instead of clicking through them in one direction with one button.

This year, the big news is all about the data. Chrysler's UConnect multimedia feature package and connectivity are now the best in the truck. There is a 8.4-inch touch screen that can be combined with a large split-screen gauges tucked in between. All are built on the architecture of a new high Powernet-and low-speed data network, which allows up to 40 different modules communicate because they manage the Ram safety, powertrain and infotainment systems.

The navigation system is available, for example, goes through a wide selection of features zippily. Offer voice-activated directions, featuring new 3D, featuring an overhead line guidance, and connect with Sirius TravelLink for gas prices, weather information, sports scores, and movie times. Featuring beautifully rendered, more important than any other truck, and that for a lot when traveling. HD Radio will be available, and the system will also offer text-to-voice translation with a fixed set of responses is available at your fingertips or voice control.

The most interesting part is the new UConnect Ram Access setup, which brings Sprint data services into a truck in the same way Audi Connect using T-Mobile's 3G signal. Over a data connection, Ram universe grew to include voice recognition, mobile applications and WiFi hotspot capability. It also allows some of concierge-like services without the use of a human operator. Mobile app will allow owners to unlock and lock the Ram them over a data connection, remote start will work the same way, although obviously, the key will work faster when standing nearby. UConnect own applications and functions will be updated via the link Sprint. Unfortunately, Sprint will be the only data provider, and when you bucket data can not be used, even if you're a Sprint customer.

Some Ram 1500 pickups will also get a 7-inch LCD screen is located in the new reconfigurable gauge cluster, flanked by traditional calling. It can be adapted to a variety of information, ranging from radio-station display, trailer-towing to the state, to the navigation. Trip-computer info displayed in the corner.

Reconfigurable gauge cluster has a handy finger control, and the transmission now use the play button to switch gears, freeing up space on the console (some V-8 will still be using the console or column shifter). Steering-wheel paddle controls replace the buttons.

Other new features for the Ram lineup is rain-sensing wipers, power-folding side mirrors, and a power-sliding rear window with defrost, and a RamBox cargo management system innovative is now locked and unlocked with the central locking system of the vehicle. It's standard on the Tradesman, but optional in any other trim line.

Available options include a DVD player for both front and rear passenger seats, steering-wheel-mounted radio controls, Sirius Satellite Radio, and in this version of Laramie, finely detailed interior with a wide choice of exterior colors, and the Laramie Longhorn, real wood trim harvested of the fence fell, burred by barbed wire. Package R / T is available to add 22-inch wheels and tires and a restyled front air dam with the rear end and 4.10 limited-slip differential.

Just keep in mind that the top-of-the-line Laramie Limited cost more than twice as much as the basic Ram 1500, but it offers so many more features and facilities it is almost a different truck.
