For instance, this popular truck comes in eight different trim levels, three cab styles, three box sizes and nine special editions to cater to different tastes.

Its three gasoline engine options allow drivers to easily get how much horsepower, torque and towing capacity they need for tough jobs. Here’s a quick rundown on your choices and what you can expect with each.
