Trim Levels of the 2021 Ram 1500
Presented by Westborn CDJR
The Ram 1500 is a well-known and well-loved full-sized pickup that's sturdy, powerful, and built to last. Now in its 2021 model year, Ram presents a stunning lineup of new 1500 models, featuring a brand-new TRX trim that's impressively fast and astonishingly powerful. The TRX tops off the 1500's six other trim levels, the Tradesman, Big Horn, Rebel, Laramie, Longhorn, and Limited. The 1500 lineup is available in two configurations; either the quad cab with its 6-foot 4-inch bed, or the Crew Cab which has a 5-foot 7-inch bed, and a bit more legroom for the rear seats inside. There are also a few powertrain options that vary based on which trim level you choose. Continue reading below to learn more about each trim level of the 2021 Ram 1500!
Tradesman
The Tradesman is the base-level trim for the 2021 Ram 1500, and provides all the essentials you need to get the job done, as well as a solid offering of standard features. The Tradesman is only available as a Quad Cab, meaning it comes with the longer 6-foot 4-inch flatbed, and you get your choice of either rear-wheel or four-wheel drive. The standard powertrain option includes a 3.6-liter V6 engine with an eTorque hybrid system for improved fuel economy and smooth stopping and starting, though a V8 and turbodiesel V6 are also available for an extra boost in power. Additional features of the Tradesman include 18-inch steel wheels, trailer sway damping, and a 5-inch touchscreen. This truck is straightforward and practical, for those who want a reliable option without too many frills.

There are also a few extra standard features, like 18-inch aluminum wheels, and an electric on-demand transfer case. The Big Horn also features the available Uconnect 5 infotainment system, which is its latest model and is said to perform five times faster than the previous generation. Other options for the 1500 Big Horn include either an 8.4 or 12-inch touchscreen, your choice of a Quad Cab or Crew Cab configuration, and available V8 or turbodiesel V6 engines in place of the standard 3.6-liter V6.

Next up is the Laramie, which marks a departure from the pattern of previous trims in that it feels a bit more upscale inside and out. The Laramie also offers a different powertrain option from the first few trims, featuring the 5.7-liter V8 as standard. Some standard features of the 1500 Laramie include power side mirrors, and a heated and leather-wrapped steering wheel, while accent stitching adds style to the interior. There are several luxury features available at this level, like leather-trimmed seating, a 10-speaker premium Alpine sound system, heated and ventilated front seats, and a 12-inch Uconnect 5 touchscreen.

The Ram 1500 Rebel trim sets itself apart from the get-go with its distinctive exterior design. It comes with standard all-terrain tires and a 1-inch factory lift, which together amount to a commanding presence. There's also an eye-catching "Rebel" decal on the bed, as well as a stylized grille that frames the "RAM" logo in the center. The Rebel also features LED headlights, taillights and foglights, four underbody skid plates, tow hooks, and an electronic locking rear axle. Needless to say, the Rebel is optimized for off-road readiness, with the power to conquer a variety of rough terrains. It is also available in Quad Cab and Crew Cab configurations, and you can swap out the 3.6-liter V6 for either the V8 or turbodiesel V6.Â

The Longhorn sits atop 20-inch alloy wheels, and features leather and real Barnwood accents on the inside. Some standard features include front tow hooks, front and rear parking sensors, and underseat storage.

The Limited also features a 12-inch Uconnect 5 touchscreen complete with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, as well as a wireless charging pad to keep your devices connected for your whole journey.
