- Ram has introduced three new America250 special editions.
- They’re based on the 1500 Big Horn, Laramie and Rebel.
- All three pickup models feature red, white, and blue interiors.
Stellantis is the official automotive partner of America250, which is a non partisan organization tasked with celebrating the country’s 250th anniversary. As part of the festivities, the automaker has plans for a slew of special editions including a Dodge Durango that will be unveiled at the New York Auto Show next week.
However, Ram is getting an early start by taking the wraps off three new special editions based on the 1500 Big Horn, Laramie and Rebel. They’ll be available in Molten Red Pearl-Coat, Hydro Blue Pearl-Coat, and Bright White Clear-Coat because America, Truck Yeah!
Big Horn America250
Kicking things off is the 1500 Big Horn America250, which starts at $61,415 including destination. It features a lightly revised exterior with a body color grille surround, Satin Black badging, and a number of components – including the bumpers, fender flares, and mirror caps – painted in Diamond Black Crystal Pearl-Coat.
Buyers will also find a sport performance hood with a Satin Black American flag graphic as well as a similar motif on the rear bed sides. Other highlights include black 20-inch aluminum wheels, a spray-in bedliner, and America250 emblems on the front doors.

The patriotic theme continues inside with red, white, and blue seats worthy of Afroman. They’re covered in Denim Soul blue fabric and sport contrasting red and white stitching. On the backrests, there are Velcro patches designed to accommodate names and flags from military uniforms.
Elsewhere, there’s Ruby Red seat belts and a Black Onyx Chrome America250 emblem on the glovebox. They’re joined by a digital instrument cluster with a special startup graphic as well as “America Made Us” sill plates, and a special leather key tag.
On top of that, there’s all the usual equipment from the Big Horn Level 2 Equipment Group. This includes heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, a nine-speaker audio system, and a 12-inch Uconnect 5 infotainment system.
Laramie and Rebel America250 Editions
The 1500 Laramie and Rebel America250 largely echo the Big Horn, but feature a handful of differences. In particular, the Laramie has a gloss black grille and larger 22-inch wheels.
Likewise, the Rebel has a Satin Black grille and 18-inch wheels wrapped in all-terrain tires. The model also has gloss black fender flares and a matching rear bumper as well as a powder-coated front bumper with integrated tow hooks.
The two models share a well-equipped interior with black leather seats sporting Blue Crust inserts that can be seen peeking out from the perforations. They’re joined by Graphite Metallic bolsters as well as red, white, and blue contrast stitching.
The rest of the interior upgrades mimic those on the Big Horn, although the Black Onyx Chrome emblem has been replaced by one in Satin Chrome.
The America250 package will be offered on the Laramie with the Level 1 or Level 2 Equipment Groups as well as the Rebel with the Level 2 Equipment Group. Pricing starts at $70,365 for the Laramie and $72,830 for the Rebel.
An Engine For Everyone
America is all about freedom, so Ram wisely embraced the power of choice. As a result, the Big Horn can be equipped with a 3.6-liter V6, a twin-turbo 3.0-liter Hurricane inline-six, or the recently returned 5.7-liter Hemi V8. The Laramie and Rebel are offered exclusively with the latter two options and this means buyers will find up to 420 hp (313 kW / 426 PS) and 460 lb-ft (623 Nm) of torque.
The Ram 1500 America250 special editions will be available in “limited quantities” and the company is currently accepting orders.
