2016 Ram 1500 Highlights
Like other full-size trucks, the Ram 1500 is offered in regular, extended (Quad), and crew cab styles with a choice between three cargo box lengths, three engines, and 2-wheel or 4-wheel drive. Where the Ram distinguishes itself is in the 12 different trim levels that are available, ranging from the Tradesman on the low end to the Laramie Limited on the high end.
This year, the Ram Sport is offered in limited-edition models painted Ignition Orange, Torred Red, Stinger Yellow, or Ceramic Blue. These versions of the Ram Sport have a standard V8 engine, an 8-speed automatic transmission, a 3.92 gear set, and a dual exhaust system. A ventilated hood and 20-inch aluminum wheels help to distinguish them, while the interiors have body-color accent stitching and Sport embroidery on the seats with a Ram’s head featured on the head restraints. A Uconnect infotainment system with an 8.4-inch touchscreen display, a navigation system, and a reversing camera are also standard on these unique Ram Sport models.
