The RAM 1500 line continues to rack up the rewards in 2021. RAM has won Motor Trend’s prestigious Truck of the Year Award for the third year in a row. If we were talking about football, we’d be calling RAM trucks a dynasty.

Let’s explore the 2021 Ram 1500 Trims

Not too long ago, there was a time when a pickup truck was a thrifty alternative to a sedan.

It should come as no surprise to truck shoppers that this window has closed. Price increases are inevitable, and today’s trucks pack more amenities than ever before.

2021 RAM 1500 Tradesman | $32,795

The RAM 1500 Tradesman is not your average entry-level truck. It comes standard with a 3.6L V6 eTorque Engine with the available option to drop in a 5.7L V8 HEMI for even more firepower.

The affordable entry price here is a bit illusory. There are TONS of upgrades available for the Tradesman. And trust me, you’re going to want to invest in more than one.

2021 RAM 1500 HFE | $34,645

Fun fact: HFE stands for “High Efficiency.” < That took some serious Googling.

It’s an excellent truck, but it’s more of a true entry-level edition.

This is because there are options not offered in the HFE that come standard in the Tradesman.

No HEMI upgrade is available, for one.

2021 RAM 1500 Big Horn | $39,965

The Big Horn is another step closer to true luxury.

The Big Horn boasts heated front seats and adjustable rear head restraints. These may not scream luxury, but if you’ve ever ridden in the cramped interior of a truck, you’ll understand.

This trim package is the way to go for truck shoppers that value upgrades but still have a firm budget in mind.

Other standouts include digital rear-view mirror, Trailer Reverse Steering Control, and Pedestrian Detection.

2021 RAM 1500 Laramie | $41,980

The Laramie builds on the amenities of the Big Horn—and then some.

Inside the Laramie, you get the Uconnect Infotainment System. This entertainment system comes standard with its 8.4-inch touchscreen.

The interior also comes with leather upholstery, standard.

The included Alpine premium audio system is but one other benefit of buying the Laramie.

2021 RAM 1500 Rebel | $46,120

You know, some trucks just have that visual “wow” factor. The Ford Raptor comes to mind, fueled by that ferocious front grill.
Along the same vein, the 2021 RAM Rebel oozes more machismo than the Macho Man Randy Savage.

Off-road aficionados looking for off-road domination are in for a real treat. Those more comfortable traditional roadways will love the Rebel too. The Rebel is comfortable enough to rival even the best luxury sedans, whether on the road or off.

(Macho Man iconic sunglasses not included.)

2021 RAM 1500 Limited Longhorn | $52,280 – $56,950

The 2021 model year of the Limited Longhorn marks the 10th Anniversary. It has more feathers in its cap than a 10-gallon Stetson could handle.

The Limited Longhorn mixes western flair with sumptuous comfort and plenty of tech.

2021 RAM 1500 TRX | $70,325

Yeah, the awe-inducing price knocked me out of my chair too. But with the TRX proves, the adage is true: you do get what you pay for.

And the TRX is the real deal.

The plush interior has more bells and whistles than the Westminster Dog Show.

But let’s cut to the chase. The RAM 1500 TRX goes from 0-to-60 in 4.5 seconds. Yep.
