Toyota lets you get their 381-hp 5.7L V-8 and 6-speed on a base regular cab (of course, Tundra regular cab only comes with a long bed). I bet the new Ram will let you get the 380-hp Hemi and 5-speed on every model like they do now. GM has the most powerful engine available in a half-ton, but continues to insist on handicapping their models because of a perceived hierarchy.

6 speed is available for all Crew Cabs, and all versions of the 6.2, which seem to only come in Crew/Extended cab.
You can get the 6.2/6 in LTZ Extended Cab.
