As you likely know by now, America is celebrating its 250th birthday this year and there is no shortage of fanfare. Ram is doing its part with new Ram 1500 America250 Special Editions, three in all, and they are available to order now in limited quantities.
Ram says its new Big Horn, Laramie and Rebel America250 Special Edition trucks "honor the America that made us", with value packaging, workhorse capability and unmistakable patriotic style. The special editions are part of Stellantis’ official partnership with America250, a national nonpartisan organization that aims to engage every American in celebrating America's 250th anniversary.
“For 250 years, this country has met every challenge head‑on with the flag flying high,” said Tim Kuniskis, head of American Brands, SRT Performance, NA Marketing and Retail Strategy. “The Ram 1500 America250 special editions honor America with that same passion and patriotism. They’re unapologetically tough and unmistakably American —because nothing stops America and nothing stops Ram.
