Ram is marking the 250th anniversary of the United States with a trio of special-edition pickup trucks. The America250 editions —based on the Big Horn, Laramie, and Rebel trims of the Ram 1500—offer unique cosmetic upgrades with patriotic themes. The release taps into a long-standing trend of automakers leveraging national identity for limited-run vehicle promotions.
Distinctive Designs for Each Trim
Each truck will be available in one of three colors: Molten Red Pearl-Coat, Hydro Blue Pearl-Coat, or Bright White Clear-Coat. All trims feature black badging, a Sport Performance hood, and commemorative America250 emblems. Additional blacked-out elements—door handles, 20-inch (Big Horn) or 22-inch (Laramie) wheels, bumpers, and mirror caps—complete the exterior look.
The Rebel trim stands out with its mesh grille, powder-coated front bumper, integrated tow hooks, and black lighting bezels. The Laramie trim offers larger 22-inch wheels, while the Rebel sports a more rugged look with 18-inch wheels.
Interior Upgrades Reflect Patriotic Themes
Inside, the America250 Package brings red, white, and blue stitching to the center console lid, door armrests, and steering wheel. The Big Horn trim gets Denim Soul blue fabric upholstery and a 12.0-inch infotainment display with a nine-speaker audio system.
The Laramie and Rebel editions feature leather performance seats with Blue Crust inserts, Satin Chrome America250 badges, special startup graphics, and aluminum scuff plates. These upgrades emphasize the exclusive nature of the edition, appealing to buyers who want a standout vehicle.
