Introducing Regional-Specific Trim: Canada Welcomes 2019 RAM 1500 Sport
Canada has just got its own limited-edition version of the RAM 1500 pickup, the 2019 RAM 1500 Sport trim. Well, it seems the company is all about promoting a variety of cool editions at the automotive market; you may remember the exclusive-to-Texas Lone Star Edition. And now, it’s Canada turn: the new Sport trim boasts nine bright exterior color options, some eye-popping design cues and a classy monochromatic cabin treatment. Unfortunately, we are missing out this custom truck in the U.S.
Horsepower remain unchanged under the hood; the 2019 RAM 1500 Sport is powered by a familiar 5.7-liter Hemi V8 producing 395 ponies and 410 lb-ft of torque. All the power is paired to an eight-speed automatic transmission and would be offered either in Crew Cab or Quad configurations. Rear- or all-wheel-drive – it’s up to you.
As for the main design modifications; the most significant one includes a mono exterior finish that comes together with aluminum accents, a ‘Sport’ badge, black brand lettering, 20-inch blacked out aluminum wheels, and black internal bezels in the standard bi-LED headlights. A Sport hood and a set of 22-inch Black Noise alloys are optional. The same all-black color theme continues with a cabin treatment featuring satin chrome highlights, a diamond plate-look adorning the center stake and real metal trim. On top of that, add premium heated vinyl seats, heated steering wheel, an 8.4-inch UConnect touchscreen and a dual-pane sunroof (for crew Cab models only), and it is clear why this light-duty RAM pickup is considered to be one of the most popular country’s models.
