2022 Ram 1500 Truck Trim Options

Ram knows that there is no such thing as a one-size-fits-all pickup truck. That’s why you can choose between six Ram 1500 trim levels for the 2022 model year. If you’re trying to decide which one is the right mix of features, strength, and price tag for you, Bill Volz Westchester is here to help.

Customization

In addition to the 2022 Ram 1500‘s trim levels, you’ll also get to choose your truck’s body style. However, your options vary from model to model:

• Tradesman and Big Horn: 6-foot-4-inch box with a quad cab or crew cab, or a 5-foot-7-inch box with a crew cab.
• Laramie, Limited Longhorn, and Limited: Crew cab only, with a 5-foot-7-inch or 6-foot-4-inch box.
• Rebel and TRX: Crew cab with a 5-foot-7-inch box.

You’ll also have four engine options to choose from. These engines are available to most trim levels, except for the TRX’s supercharged V-8.

• A standard 3.6-liter V-6 engine produces 305 horsepower and 269 pound-feet of torque.
• A 5.7-liter V-8 engine that produces 395 horsepower and 410 pound-feet of torque.
• A 3.0-liter turbocharged diesel V-6 engine produces 260 horsepower and 480 pound-feet of torque.
• A 6.2-liter supercharged HEMI V-8 engine produces 702 horsepower and 650 pound-feet of torque.

Each of these engines is paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission. Adequately equipped with the HEMI V-8 engine, the 2022 Ram 1500 can tow up to 12,750 pounds.

Tradesman

The Tradesman is the entry-level option for the 2022 Ram 1500, but it’s anything but bare-bones. The Tradesman is ideal for drivers looking for their next work truck. The Tradesman is also available as the Tradesman HFE, which stands for “High Fuel Efficiency.” This latter model can only be outfitted with a two-wheel-drive system, but the standard model can be upgraded with a four-wheel drive.

Exterior features include heated side mirrors with power adjustability, power door locks, and black accents. Inside, you’ll find vinyl coverings for the floor and seat, air conditioning with an air filtration system, and a six-speaker audio system.

Big Horn

The Big Horn adds some basic but desirable features to the Ram 1500’s standard loadout, but its biggest appeal is its access to upgrade packages. If you want to pick and choose the features that go into your truck, the Big Horn might be your option.

Customize your Big Horn‘s exterior with the available dual-pane panoramic sunroof and chrome accents. The available RamBox cargo management system puts a lockable storage container into the wall of your box. You’ll also get access to a larger touch screen and driver-assist technologies if you want them on your truck.

Laramie

The Laramie starts getting into luxury territory with its standard equipment. Those who want an ideal best-of-both-worlds model that balances budget and features may find what they’re looking for with the Laramie.

Standard exterior upgrades include power-folding side mirrors, LED headlights, chrome, and a power-sliding rear window. Opt for the 60/40-split multifunction tailgate for a more accessible truck bed. The Laramie’s cab keeps you more comfortable with dual-zone front air conditioning, leather upholstery, and more. The Laramie comes standard with an 8.4-inch central touch screen, an upgraded sound system, heated and ventilated front seats, and a heated steering wheel.

The Laramie also comes equipped with a forward mitigation system that scans the road ahead to warn the driver of potential collisions and will even apply the truck’s brakes if needed. At this trim level and above, you have the option of adding a lane-departure mitigation system, a 360-degree camera system, and adaptive cruise control.

Rebel

Drivers who want to forge their paths should get behind the 2022 Ram 1500 Rebel wheel. The Rebel gets a sports performance hood and switches out the chrome accents for tougher black accents. Its performance features include a locking rear axle, tow hooks, skid plates, and more. The Rebel’s interior is decked out in more durable cloth, vinyl materials, and sports rubber floor mats for easier cleanup after outdoor adventures.

Limited Longhorn

The Ram Limited Longhorn has a Southwestern ranch-style flair that speaks to the truck’s heritage. The Longhorn gets several exterior upgrades, including running board side steps, larger 20-inch wheels with the option to switch to 22-inch versions, and a power tailgate. The Longhorn’s cabin features genuine wood and metal-trimmed accents, bucket seats with leather-trimmed upholstery, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel.

Limited

The ultimate in full-size luxury trucks, the Ram 1500 Limited is the model for drivers who want to reward themselves for their years of hard work. The Limited comes standard with the more powerful 5.7-liter V-8 engine.

The Limited also comes standard with the 12-inch touch screen, that’s an available upgrade for the lower trim levels. You’ll also get premium leather upholstery and a wireless smartphone charger. The otherwise optional blind-spot monitor with a rear cross-traffic alert system comes standard on the Limited. Use the standard four-corner air suspension system to keep your rides smooth and efficient. Upgrade your Limited with the available 19-speaker Harman Kardon sound system for a superior listening experience.

TRX

The TRX is a performance-tuned off-roading pickup that’s competition-ready. It comes exclusively with a four-wheel-drive system. The TRX’s engine makes it the most potent production pickup market. To more confidently handle tough paths, the TRX features a Bilstein shock system, 35-inch all-terrain tires, a high-performance dual exhaust system, eight drive modes, and more. You can also add available Mopar accessories to fully equip your TRX for your sense of adventure.
