5. Ram Power Wagon

The RAM HD Power Wagon is a purpose-built off-road machine. It has all the components one would need to traverse very challenging terrain. Front and rear heavy-duty axles with 4.10 ratio and lockers, low-range lockable transfer case, plenty of ground clearance, and beefy tires. The big 6.4L HEMI V8 also helps with 410 horsepower and 429 lb-ft of torque. It even has a factory-installed 12,000 lbs winch.

4. Ford F-150 2.7L EcoBoost

The 2.7L twin-turbo V6 powered F-150 is on this list because it’s the quickest pickup (0-60 mph) we have tested at high elevation of Colorado (one mile above sea level). The little engine makes 325 horsepower and 375 lb-ft of torque, and it has more than enough power for towing and everyday use.

3. Chevy Colorado Duramax

The Chevy Colorado and the GMC Canyon are the only pickup trucks in the midsize segment to offer a turbo-diesel option in United States. They combine smaller physical size with great towing capability (up to 7,700 lbs) and outstanding efficiency (up to 31 MPG on the highway). The 2.8L turbo-diesel produces 181 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque.

2. Toyota Tundra TRD Pro

The Tundra TRD Pro is a highly capable off-road rig that combines a lift, specially tuned suspension, tires, and underbody protection to take you far off the beaten path. The special dual outlet exhaust system is an extra bonus for those looking for throatier exhaust note and better response from the 5.7L V8 that produces 381 horsepower and 401 lb-ft of torque.

1. Ram 3500 Cummins

The coolest truck is the 2016 Ram 3500 Dually with the 6.7L high-output Cummins turbo-diesel. Why? Because it holds the bragging rights with a maximum tow rating of 30,310 lbs. The big Cummins I6 produces 385 horsepower and 900 lb-ft of torque. That is a lot of hauling power.
