Off-roading, speed, and luxury now combine. The new lineup of 2022 Ram 1500 special edition trucks offers jaw dropping performance and style to drivers in BC.
If you have been thinking about purchasing a new full-size truck, then you should take a peek at the three latest special edition models for the 2022 Ram 1500. Known as the Backcountry, TRX Ignition, and 10th Anniversary, these pickups are designed to impress. From weekend drives to extreme off-roading, you can find the perfect match to suit your personality.
Starting with the 2022 Ram 1500 Backcountry, this rugged ride boasts numerous enhancements for exploring the wild with the greatest confidence. Rolling on 18-inch wheels with all-terrain tires, most of the exterior elements are finished in black for a more aggressive appearance. This includes the tow hooks, headlight bezels, side mirror caps, exhaust tips, and more. Meanwhile, the grille is the same shade as the body of the vehicle, with a darkened mesh insert for a hint of contrast.
For a more comfortable experience off the beaten path, heavy-duty shock absorbers have been installed, along with an E-locker rear axle. Skid plates guard the underbelly against damage due to rocks, and the tri-fold tonneau cover protects any payload you have in the bed. Tubular steps assist with climbing into the cabin, which boasts all-weather floor mats and premium cloth upholstery. MOLLE straps have also been placed inside to hold recreational gear. Finally, the Deployable Bed Step from Mopar enables you to get into the box with little resistance.
Next, the 2022 Ram 1500 TRX Ignition sets itself apart from other models, thanks to its bright orange exterior paint job, copperhead interior accents, 35-inch tires, and machined-face 18-inch wheels in contrasting black. As the quickest and most powerful truck in its class, this special edition houses a supercharged 6.2-litre HEMI V8 underneath the hood. Generating 702 hp and 650 lb-ft of torque, it can accelerate from zero to 100 km/h in just 4.5 seconds.
For a wider track and improved aerodynamics, the fenders flare out an extra 8-inches. Meanwhile, Black Hawk e2 shock absorbers by Bilstein have been installed for superior rock crawling. Also, the 11.8-inch ground clearance assists with navigating jagged areas as well. Slipping behind the performance-focused flat-bottom steering column, you will find aluminum gear shift paddles and eater carbon fibre or Alcantara suede accents. The Ignition’s orange decorations extend through the cockpit’s stitching, and leather with brush metal elements are also included. Finally, the innovative Uconnect 5 NAV multimedia centre is displayed on a 12-inch touchscreen.
Last but certainly not least, the 2022 Ram 1500 10th Anniversary Edition is the luxury model in this lineup. Featuring elegant materials, state-of-the-art technology, and more, it boasts a stately appeal that you are sure to love. Two new exterior paint colours are available, including Patriot Blue Pearl and Blue Shade Pearl (exclusive). Decorated with chrome detailing, this particular ride rolls on massive 22-inch polished aluminum wheels.
Many of the updates can be found throughout the cabin including the specialty 10th Anniversary badge that commemorates a decade of Ram trucks. The centre console is covered in quilted leather, which is the same fabric that drapes the seats and door inserts. Suede pieces are also placed strategically thought the cockpit as soft-touch points. You can choose from Indigo and Sea Salt Grey colour schemes, and satin aluminum rings dress the gauge cluster screen. The final element that makes this model stand out is the 19-speaker Harmon Kardon stereo. Complete with a 900-watt amplifier, it gives off studio-quality sound.
