2018 Ram 1500: Which Trim Level is Best for You?

Looking at the 2018 Ram 1500 can sometimes leave people feeling confused. The pickup truck boasts many trim levels, and making sense of them can be overwhelming. As specialists in Ram trucks, the team at North York Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram will help you make sense of the Ram 1500 lineup.

ST

If you know Ram trucks, then you know each Ram 1500 comes packed with capability. That starts with the ST trim. It comes with any of the three available engines, so you get to choose the one best-suited for your needs.

Among the conveniences is a Uconnect 5.0-inch infotainment touchscreen, a 4- and 7-pin trailer wiring harness, air conditioning, plus vinyl seats/flooring.

SXT

With the SXT you get several comfort upgrades. They include cloth upholstery, Sirius XM satellite radio, carpeting, aluminum wheels, and remote keyless entry. Temperature and compass displays add simple yet useful conveniences, as does an overhead console for sunglasses, etc. The truck overall is still simple and great for tough jobs.

SLT

Choosing the SLT means you get more advanced technologies. A Uconnect 8.4 infotainment system with navigation becomes optional. Crew Cab and Quad Cab models gain a power-sliding rear window. To make the truck feel more premium, Ram includes upgraded trim pieces for the interior, and map pockets in the doors.

Outdoorsman

You get even more modern conveniences with the Ram 1500 Outdoorsman. A universal garage door opener comes standard, as does a 7-inch full-colour screen in the gauge cluster, which you can control what it displays. An auto-dimming rearview mirror and fog lights help with visibility, along with under hood lamps.

The 20-inch chrome aluminum wheels make a bold statement. They complement the chrome side mirrors, tubular side steps, and bright grille finish.

Big Horn

Everyone benefits from more premium features in the Big Horn. The front bucket seats feature vinyl bolsters that won't wear out easily. Drivers get 10-way power adjustability for their seat. The floor console has a holder for your phone or tablet, so you're not struggling with where to put it.

LED interior lighting provides even illumination. With the 115-volt auxiliary power outlet, you can run all kinds of items in the truck, making it a true mobile office.

Sport

Among the more aggressive looks featured on the Sport is a black honeycomb grille, flat black badges, and 20-inch aluminum wheels with a semi-gloss black finish.

Night Edition

A more premium experience awaits with the Ram 1500 Night Edition. Leather upholstery combines with heated and ventilated front seats for excellent comfort. Dual-zone automatic climate control helps as well. You even get woodgrain accents on the instrument panel.

The truck also gains LED taillights, plus bi-functional halogen projector headlights. Boosting safety further is a ParkView rear back-up camera.

Laramie

One of the biggest changes for the Laramie is an Active-Level four-corner air suspension. It keeps handling and stopping performance even, no matter what you throw in the bed. Black lower two-tone paint makes a bold statement.

You also get a heated steering wheel and rubber floor mats.

Rebel

This trim adds many premium features, including Natura Plus leather upholstery, wood cabin accents, heated rear seats, a spray-in bedliner, and remote start.

Laramie Longhorn

Even more premium details adorn the Laramie Longhorn. For example, Mopar illuminated door entry guards add a nice touch, along with a wood and leather-wrapped steering wheel. On the exterior, details like gold-clad inserts for the wheels and Walnut Brown Metallic lower two-tone paint add to the premium feel.

Laramie Limited

As the top trim level, the Laramie Limited adds Keyless Enter 'n Go proximity entry and push button start, a rear window defroster, automatic high beams, chrome side steps, and luxury floor mats.
