Of all the available models and trims available with the outgoing Ram 1500 pickup, Canadians loved the Sport the most. That’s why, when the freshly redesigned 2019 truck officially launches later this year, we’ll see another Ram 1500 Sport – and it’s just for us.
Unique to the Ram 1500 Sport is monochromatic paintwork – no two-tone or chrome bumpers here – plus blacked-out headlight bezels, grille and, of course, badges. Twenty-inch wheels are standard, but 22s are optional. Also optional is a more aggressively styled hood.
Inside, the Ram Sport gets unique seats exclusive to Canada. A cloth-and-leather combination is standard, though full-leather seating is available. Essentially, this is a cosmetic package – but a handsome one, at that.
Under the hood, you can only have the Sport one way, and one way only – the 5.7L Hemi V8 is good for 395 horsepower and 410 lb.-ft. of torque, and hooked up to an eight-speed automatic. Interestingly, you can have the Sport with four- or two-wheel-drive, and either as a quad- or crew-cab layout.
FCA is keeping pricing and availability details close to its chest, but full details will be announced in the next few weeks.
