To commemorate the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, Ram is releasing a series of special edition 1500 pickup trucks across three different trim levels. The models feature unique badging, door sill plates, and startup animations, as well as patriotic color schemes and even a denim-inspired upholstery option.

Why it matters

As one of the most popular vehicle segments in the United States, Ram's special edition trucks tap into the national pride and celebration surrounding the country's 250th birthday. The denim-inspired interior, in particular, is a unique and eye-catching feature that aims to connect with American consumers.

The details

The three special edition America250 Ram 1500 models include the Big Horn, Laramie, and Rebel trims. All feature commemorative badging, door sill plates, and startup animations. The higher-end Laramie and Rebel trims have leather upholstery with red, white, and blue stitching, while the Big Horn model gets a 'Denim Soul blue fabric' interior that resembles denim. However, Stellantis representatives clarify that this is the same material used in standard Ram 1500 models, not an actual denim upholstery.

  • Orders are now open for the America250 special edition Ram 1500 models.
  • The 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence will be celebrated on July 4, 2026.
