Ram Trucks just unveiled a Canada exclusive 2019 Ram
1500 Sport model, boasting unique exterior design cues, custom options and an
all-black cabin. The new pickup truck was designed specifically for Canadian
buyers, who seem to prefer the ‘Sport’ trim when it comes to the country’s most
popular light-duty Ram pickup model.
Available in nine colors, two body configurations
(Quad or Crew Cab) and either as a 4×2 or 4×4 model, the 2019 Ram 1500 Sport
comes with black badging on its all-new aluminum tailgate, standard 20″ black
wheels (22″ ‘Black Noise’ alloys optional), an all-black Ram’s head logo, a
‘Sport’ badge and an integrated dual exhaust.
Other features include standard bi-LED headlights
with black internal bezels, blacked-out hood badging and side window surrounds
and an optional Sport hood for customers who want their truck to look even more
aggressive.
Inside, the all-black cabin features satin light
black chrome highlights, real metal trim and a diamond plate-look on the center
stack courtesy of the Ram Rebel. Meanwhile, the instrument panel and cluster
brow are soft-wrapped and feature Diesel grey French accent stitching. Also
unique to this model are the powered and heated sport cloth/premium vinyl seats
with a special ‘hex’ insert mesh fabric, while the power adjustable pedals, CD
player, 8.4-inch Uconnect touchscreen, ParkView back-up camera, push-button
start and heated steering wheel are all standard.
On the safety front, there’s brake assist, hill
start assist, rainy day braking, ready alert braking and trailer sway control
as standard, while blind-spot monitoring, adaptive cruise control, forward
collision warning, lane departure warning, surround view camera, automatic high
beams and Park Assist are optional extras. Moreover, Crew Cab models get a
dual-pane sunroof, a reclining rear seat and 12.7 cm (5-inch) larger in-floor
bins for a 4-inch drop hitch.
There’s just one engine option, a 5.7-liter HEMI V8
producing 395 horsepower and 555 Nm of torque. It works together
with an eight-speed automatic transmission that includes more than 40
individual shift maps for improved fuel economy.
The Canada-only 2019 Ram 1500 Sport will go on sale
in the second quarter of 2018.
