Ram 1500 Sport is a truck unique to Canada

Ram is giving Canada its own pickup — the 2019 Ram 1500 Sport, available only north of the border.

There aren’t numerous differences between the Sport and other models, but enough to make it unique to Canada.

On the outside, the truck will have a monochromatic exterior, eliminating most of the chrome or black trim, and will come in nine colours. It will have a black billet bar grille with RAM lettering. The hood badging and side window surrounds are also blacked-out. An optional Sport hood is also available.

Inside, the truck is trimmed with all-black interior, seats and accents. It also sports chrome highlights, real metal trim and a diamond plate-look on the centre stack, a look borrowed from Ram Rebel. An integrated dual exhaust completes the pickup truck’s “Canada-only” look.

Ram unveiled the truck at the Canadian International AutoShow in Toronto on Thursday.

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles sold more than 100,000 Ram vehicles in Canada in 2017 and is looking to build on that.

A 5.7-litre V-8 power Hemi engine gives the truck 395 horsepower. Four-wheel drive is also an option. It’s available as a quad or crew cab.

An 8.4-inch Uconnect touchscreen is standard on the truck and features Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

The 2019 Ram 1500 Sport goes on sale in the second quarter of 2018. Pricing and fuel economy will be announced at a later date.
