“The all-new 2019 Ram 1500 is the strongest, most technological and most capable light-duty truck we have ever built. But we didn’t stop there,” said Reid Bigland, President and CEO, FCA Canada. “That’s why the all-new 2019 Ram 1500 Sport is being built exclusively for the Canadian market and why we are confident our truck owners will embrace the unique style and capability it offers.”

The 2019 Ram 1500 Sport is distinguished foremost by its monochromatic exterior, available in nine colours and set off by a black billet bar grille with R-A-M lettering. The all-new, standard bi-LED headlamps wear black internal bezels and are complemented by LED signature daytime running lamps and LED fog lamps. An optional Sport hood is available for customers who crave a more aggressive look.

The 2019 Ram 1500 Sport rides on standard black 20-inch aluminium wheels, with optional 22-inch ‘Black Noise’ alloys. The all-new, dampened aluminium tailgate with integrated spoiler features black badging, plus the new, chiselled all-black Ram’s head logo. A ‘Sport’ badge and an integrated dual exhaust completes the pickup truck’s “Canada-only” look.

The 5.7-litre HEMI V-8 is standard on Ram 1500 Sport. It combines the muscle of 395 horsepower and 410 lb-ft of torque with performance-enhancing and fuel-saving technologies that include variable valve timing and cylinder deactivation.

A new generation of TorqueFlite eight-speed automatic transmission is standard and includes more than 40 individual shift maps to optimize fuel economy, performance and drivability. The 2019 Ram 1500 Sport is offered as a 4×2 or 4×4 with an on-demand transfer case with four operating ranges: Auto, 2HI, 4HI and 4LO.

Offered as either a Quad or Crew Cab, the Sport model wears a unique all-new Ram 1500 interior. The all-black cabin with black headliner features an exclusive combination of trim touches, including satin light black chrome highlights, real metal trim and a diamond plate-look on the centre stack. The closed upper glove box wears a unique ‘Sport’ badge.
