- Buyers of Big Horn or Lone Star trims of the 2022 Ram 1500 will now be able to add the BackCountry Edition package to add an off-road look to their truck.
- The package includes an off-road suspension system, all-terrain tires, skid plates, an electronic rear differential, and hill-descent control.
- The BackCountry Edition also includes useful utility features such as a bed extender, a spray-in bedliner, and adjustable bed tie-down hooks.
As if the Ram 1500 wasn’t rugged enough, a new BackCountry Edition package will soon be available for buyers of the value-oriented Big Horn and Lone Star models. Intended to go up against rivals such as the Chevrolet Silverado Trailboss and FX4 versions of the Ford F-150, the Ram 1500 BackCountry Edition adds basic equipment one might need for wilderness adventures.
The package includes front skid plates, an electronic locking rear differential, off-road shock absorbers, all-terrain tires, and a hill-descent control feature. Going with the BackCountry Edition also adds several upgrades to the truck’s bed, including adjustable tie-down hooks, a deployable bed step, a spray-in bed liner, and a bed extender.
Buyers can choose from an extended-cab or crew-cab body style and the BackCountry is powered by the 5.7-liter V-8 engine, but can be equipped with or without Ram’s eTorque hybrid system. Black interior upholstery is the only option but it combines faux leather with cloth for a handsome look; all-season floor mats are also standard.
It might not have as much off-road capability as the more expensive Rebel model, but with a starting price of $41,780, the BackCountry Edition strikes us as a fairly good deal. The 2022 Ram 1500, including the new BackCountry Edition, is expected to arrive at dealerships later this summer.
