- Ram 1500 TRX
- Ram 1500 Tradesman Warlock
- Ram 1500 Rebel
- Ram 1500 Big Horn Backcountry
Each of these trucks has a slew of terrain-tuned features, but perhaps the most notable of the bunch is the Ram 1500 TRX. With these features in its off-road toolbox, nothing will stand in this truck’s way:
- 8-inch wider stance
- 35-inch tires wrapped around 18-inch beadlock-capable wheels
- Bilstein® Black Hawk® e2 Shock System
- 11.8-inch ground clearance
- 13 inches of front suspension and 14 inches of rear suspension
You can go anywhere confidently with the Ram 1500 TRX. No, seriously. Whether you’re craving sandy shores, snowy escapes, or slick trails, this truck’s eight drive modes will follow your lead.
Whether you’re gearing up for work or play, having the perfect amount of space is a miracle. Imagine having different compartments for different items, like a long cargo bed for textiles and fishing rods, a lockable bin for valuables and tools, and a console for confidential paperwork. The Ram 1500 easily grants your wishes.
The Ram 1500 is available in two cargo bed sizes. The five-foot-seven-inch bed has 53.9 cubic feet of fillable space, perfect for all your camping supplies, folding chairs, coolers, and fishing poles. Drivers needing more space can choose the six-foot-four-inch bed, measuring 61.5 cubic feet. This gives you extra wiggle room for new appliances or wooden planks.
The available multifunction tailgate with 60/40-split swing-away doors makes quickly grabbing something from the bed easier! These innovative doors open 88 degrees—even with a toy hitched to the back. It can also be opened 180 degrees flat and withstand up to 2,000 pounds.
Drivers who find peace of mind and satisfaction in organization will love the Ram 1500’s available smart storage solutions, including:
- RamBox® Cargo Management System – This lockable, lighted, and weather-proof box on the side of the truck bed can be used for tools, emergency kits, or as an on-the-go cooler for tailgate parties.
- In-Floor Storage – These class-exclusive bins have removable liners for easy cleaning, a 15-inch molded-in ruler, and two tie-downs.
- Reconfigurable Center Console – This feature reimagines your center console by leaving enough room for a 15-inch laptop, file hangers, and organized essentials.
With many places to store your items, you’ll be prepared for any task, challenge, or adventure.
On the outside, the Ram 1500 allows you to adventure boldly and tow heavy cargo. On the inside, this truck treats the most rugged drivers to premium technology and innovative driver assistance. Get ready to experience the best of both worlds.
Three infotainment display sizes are available in the Ram 1500:
- 5-inch touchscreen
- 8.4-inch touchscreen with Uconnect® 5
- 12-inch touchscreen with Uconnect® 5 NAV
Having options is great because no two drivers are the same. One driver may prefer minimalistic technology for their work truck, while another may desire the latest and greatest. There’s no right option to choose, but there are a few perks to choosing the 12-inch display! For instance, this system comes with wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, smart navigation, and up to five driver profiles.
If you’re looking for the most premium technology, consider adding these to your truck:
- 12-inch Driver Information Digital Cluster Display
- Head-Up Display
- Digital Rearview Mirror
Your eyes will be pleased with all the high-definition screens before you. Give your ears something to sing about with the available 19-speaker Harman Kardon® premium audio system. Experience what it’s like to drive a truck with the most speakers in its class!
The Ram 1500 has all the safety you need to go from Point A to Point B with no hiccups in between. Let’s meet this truck’s available safety fleet:
- Blind Spot Monitoring System
- Rear Cross Path and Trailer Detection
- Forward Collision Warning with Active Braking
- Pedestrian Emergency Braking
- Adaptive Cruise Control
When you arrive at your destination, the available Parallel and Perpendicular Park Assist feature will help you find the best spot for your truck. It will also take the reins and help you squeeze into that spot. It’s just another way the Ram 1500 shows up for you!
