Ram is introducing the updated Ram
Sport and the new Big Horn and Lone Star Black editions. Starting with the Ram Sport, the 2018 model gains a
body-color "RAM" grille in response to numerous customer requests.
Little else has changed but the truck can be equipped with black wheels and
black badges or polished aluminum wheels and chrome badges.
The 2018 Ram 1500 Sport will be priced from US$ 44,395.
A Sport Appearance package will also be available on Ram 2500 and 3500 models
in Big Horn, Lone Star, and Laramie trims. Ram didn't say how much the package
costs but the cheapest model with the Sport Appearance package starts at US$ 45,335.
Moving on the Black package for the Ram 1500 Big
Horn and Lone Star gives the truck a monotone appearance thanks to a blacked
out grille and a black paint job. The truck also has black headlight bezels,
black badges, and black wheels.
Both models will be priced from US$ 44,290 which
excludes a $1,395 destination fee. The changes are relatively minor but Ram is
focused on developing the next-generation 1500 which could be unveiled at the
North American International Auto Show early next year.
