Stellantis is marking America’s 250th anniversary with a series of special models, and Ram is getting a head start with three versions of the 1500.

They are based on the Big Horn, Laramie, and Rebel, and all three are offered in Molten Red, Hydro Blue, or Bright White. The color choice sets the tone straight away and ties the whole theme together.

The Big Horn America250 opens the range at $61,415. It gets a body-color grille surround, Satin Black badging, and extra black trim across the bumpers, flares, and mirrors. A sport hood adds a Satin Black American flag graphic, with matching graphics on the bed sides. It also rides on black 20-inch wheels and includes a spray-in bedliner.

Inside, the theme carries over. Seats use blue fabric with red and white stitching, plus Velcro patches on the backrests for names or flags. There are red seat belts, special badging, and a custom startup graphic in the digital cluster. It also includes the Level 2 Equipment Group, so you get heated seats, a heated steering wheel, a nine-speaker system, and a 12-inch infotainment screen.

The Laramie and Rebel follow the same idea, with a few changes. The Laramie adds a gloss black grille and larger 22-inch wheels. The Rebel goes for a more off-road look, with a Satin Black grille, 18-inch wheels, all-terrain tires, and a powder-coated front bumper with tow hooks.

Both get a more upscale interior. Black leather seats with blue inserts, graphite accents, and red, white, and blue stitching. Pricing starts at $70,365 for the Laramie and $72,830 for the Rebel.

Engine options depend on the trim. The Big Horn offers a 3.6-liter V6, a twin-turbo 3.0-liter inline six, or the 5.7-liter Hemi V8. Meanwhile, the Laramie and Rebel drop the V6 and stick with the inline six or V8, with up to 420 hp and 460 lb-ft of torque.

Production will be limited, and orders are already open.
