Choose From 8 Different Trims
You won't have a lack of choices when it comes to trims. The 2021 Ram 1500 has 8 different ones available: Tradesman, Tradesman HFE, Big Horn, Laramie, Rebel, Limited Longhorn, Limited, and TRX. All of the above trims come standard with rear-wheel drive. If you want to learn more about 2021 Ram 1500 specs, then read on. We'll explore each one in great detail.

Tradesman Trim
The base trim is anything but basic. The Tradesman trim comes with either cloth or synthetic leather upholstery, which will make every ride comfortable. You'll also get to enjoy a Uconnect infotainment system that has a 5-inch touchscreen, USB ports, and Bluetooth.

If this isn't enough for you, you can always add the Level 1 Equipment Group. This gives you better cloth upholstery, as well as a power-sliding rear window and satellite radio. Another available package is the Level 1 Safety Group. This gives you the additional safety features of pedestrian detection and lane keep assist. Here, you can also upgrade to 4-wheel drive if you wish. Engine upgrades to a V8 or diesel are available as well.

Tradesman HFE Trim 
"HFE" stands for "high fuel efficiency." This trim is still the base trim, but upgraded. This is the EcoDiesel trim where the truck's been optimized to be highly fuel efficient. In fact, it's the most fuel-efficient full-size pickup from Ram. This trim has a new grille in the front, as well as a new bumper. This makes it more aerodynamic, which saves fuel. In addition, the Tradesman HFE trim gets low rolling resistance tires and a 3.21 rear-axle ratio. All these factors put together mean that this trim can get 23 MPG in the city and 33 MPG on the highway.  But that doesn't mean its towing capabilities are reduced. In fact, it can still tow up to 12,560 pounds!

Big Horn Trim
With the Big Horn trim, the upgraded cloth upholstery comes standard. Other standard features include exterior chrome trim, fog lights, and a 60/40 split-folding rear seat. This trim has some packages to choose from as well. For example, there's the Level 1 Equipment Group, which adds a power-sliding rear window, power-adjustable driver's seat, Class IV receiver hitch, an upgraded Uconnect 4 infotainment system (8.4-inch touchscreen), and satellite radio. There is also the Level 2 Equipment Group. It includes everything above, but adds heated front seats and steering wheel, and dual-zone automatic climate control. It also gives you front and rear parking sensors. Like with the Tradesman trim, you can upgrade to 4-wheel drive for an extra fee.

Laramie Trim
Here, the Laramie trim gains genuine leather upholstery. You'll also get dual-zone automatic climate control, heated, ventilated, and power-adjustable front seats, and a heated steering wheel. As for the infotainment system, it gets an 8.4-inch touchscreen, Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, and satellite radio. You'll get to enjoy all that on an Alpine premium sound system. Additional packages you can get here include Level 1 Equipment Group, Level 2 Equipment Group, and Advanced Safety Group.

Rebel Trim
Do you like to go off-roading? Then you'll want to consider the Rebel trim. To help you have a good time, this trim comes standard with tow hooks, a locking differential, and a performance suspension system that has a 2-inch lift kit. Other features you'll get are a power-adjustable driver's seat, 115V household-style power outlet, and satellite radio. Packages you can add to this trim include Level 1 Equipment Group, Level 2 Equipment Group, Rebel 12 package, Rebel 12A package, Comfort and Convenience Group, Advanced Safety Group, and Safety and Convenience Group. Do note that you'll still have to upgrade to 4-wheel drive here, even though this is an off-roading trim.

Limited Longhorn Trim
The Limited Longhorn trim comes standard with premium leather upholstery. Not only that, but you'll also get front and rear parking sensors, heated rear seats, HD radio, and navigation. For additional features, consider these packages: Level 1 Equipment Group and Advanced Safety Group.

Limited Trim
With the Limited trim, you'll enjoy extra features in addition to the ones found in the previous trims. Here, you'll get a vertical 12-inch touchscreen, 4-corner air suspension system, wireless device charging, and power running boards. Safety features include rear cross-traffic alert and blindspot monitoring. There's just 1 package to get here: the Level 1 Equipment Group.

TRX Trim
Lastly, we have the TRX trim. It comes standard with a supercharged V8 engine, which means it'll be a beast on the road. You'll find most of the Big Horn trim's standard features here. However, you'll benefit from a 10-speaker audio system and a 12-inch touchscreen for the infotainment system. You can add the Level 1 Equipment Group, Level 2 Equipment Group, and the Launch Edition package if you wish.
