RUGGED, HEMI-POWERED, BLACKED-OUT, NO-ACCIDENT, NONSMOKER, READY TO WORK! Dressed head to toe in black and powered by the legendary 5.7-liter HEMI V8, this 2018 Ram 1500 Sport has the kind of attitude that turns heads in a parking lot and the hardware to back it up on the job site. Its factory build goes well beyond the Sport's already generous standard content, adding heated and ventilated leather-faced front seats, a power sunroof, navigation, Alpine premium audio, and the aggressive Sport performance hood. As a Crew Cab with the 5'7' box, this Ram strikes the balance most half-ton buyers are really after: a full-size rear seat that comfortably carries adults and a bed that still handles weekend projects and everyday hauling. Its four-wheel-drive system adds year-round confidence on snowy roads, muddy job sites, and boat ramps alike. With a clean, no-accident history and 16 service records on its CARFAX report, this truck has clearly been put to work and taken care of along the way. Why Shoppers Buy This Model The Ram 1500 built its reputation by proving a full-size pickup does not have to ride like one. Where most rivals relied on traditional leaf springs out back, Ram's five-link coil-spring rear suspension delivers a smoother, more settled ride that makes long highway drives and daily commutes noticeably more comfortable, without giving up the strength owners expect from a half-ton truck. Shoppers are also drawn to the Ram's thoughtfully designed cabins, which consistently set the pace for comfort, materials, and technology in the segment. Add the HEMI V8's well-earned reputation for effortless power and a satisfying exhaust note, and it is easy to see why the Ram 1500 earned a fiercely loyal following among truck owners who want capability and everyday livability in the same package. Automotive Press and Industry Recognition Reviewers consistently singled out this generation of Ram 1500 for its class-leading ride comfort, upscale interior, intuitive Uconnect technology, and the smooth, responsive eight-speed automatic transmission. That combination earned the Ram 1500 MOTOR TREND 2013 TRUCK OF THE YEAR and MOTOR TREND 2014 TRUCK OF THE YEAR honors, making it the first vehicle ever to win that award in back-to-back years. Warranty The odometer currently shows 174,634 miles. This Ram has been a true highway workhorse, and at this mileage its original factory coverage limits have long since been exceeded. Highway miles are among the easiest a truck can accumulate, with steady speeds and far less of the stop-and-go wear that comes with short trips around town. The 16 service records documented on its CARFAX report show a truck that has been maintained along the way, and extended service plans may be available for buyers who want added peace of mind. Standard Features The Sport is the trim for truck buyers who want their Ram to look as bold as it performs. Instead of the chrome-heavy styling found on many pickups, the Sport wears a body-color grille, bumpers, and trim for a clean, monochromatic look, and it comes standard with the 5.7-liter HEMI V8 and eight-speed automatic transmission rather than making you pay extra for them. Inside, the Sport steps up with the Uconnect 4C system and its 8.4-inch touchscreen, a 7-inch customizable in-cluster display, a full-length floor console, and a power 10-way driver's seat with lumbar adjustment. Practical touches such as a rear power sliding window, rear underseat storage, remote keyless entry, a locking tailgate, and power-folding mirrors make it as easy to live with as it is to look at. Installed Options This Ram left the factory with an extensive list of comfort, technology, and appearance upgrades that set it well apart from a typical Sport. Convenience Group Keyless Enter 'n Go with push-button start Keep the key fob in your pocket, then simply unlock the doors and start the truck with the push of a button. Automatic high beam headlamp control The high beams switch on and off automatically based on surrounding traffic, making night driving on dark rural roads easier. Rain-sensing windshield wipers The wipers adjust automatically to changing conditions, so you can keep both hands on the wheel. Remote Start & Security Alarm Group Remote start system Warm the cabin on frosty mornings or cool it down on summer afternoons before you ever climb inside. Security alarm An added layer of theft deterrence for peace of mind wherever you park. Sport Premium Group Alpine premium audio with nine speakers and a subwoofer Delivers richer, fuller sound with real bass presence, turning the cabin into a genuinely enjoyable place to listen to music. Dual-zone automatic temperature control with humidity sensor Driver and front passenger each set their own temperature, while the humidity sensor helps keep the windshield clear. Standalone Features Leather-faced front vented bucket seats Heated and ventilated front seats keep you comfortable in any season, paired with a heated steering wheel, a power 10-way driver's seat, and a 6-way power passenger seat. Power sunroof Opens the cabin up to fresh air and natural light at the touch of a button. Sport performance hood Its sculpted design and functional-look vents give the front end a more muscular, aggressive stance. Uconnect 4C NAV with 8.4-inch display Adds built-in GPS navigation, along with SiriusXM Traffic Plus and SiriusXM Travel Link capability. Subscription may be required to maintain service. 20x9-inch black aluminum wheels Complete the truck's blacked-out look far more convincingly than the Sport's standard polished wheels. ParkView rear back-up camera A clear view of what is behind you makes reversing, parking, and lining up with a trailer much easier. Park-Sense front and rear park assist Audible alerts warn of obstacles at both ends, a real help when maneuvering a full-size pickup in tight spaces. Class IV hitch receiver A factory-installed receiver ready for serious towing right away. Brilliant Black Crystal Pearl paint A premium pearlcoat finish with a deep, glossy shine that suits the Sport's monochromatic styling perfectly. Aftermarket Equipment Photos show several additions that do not appear on the factory window sticker. Black tubular side steps run along both sides of the cab, making it easier for passengers of every height to climb in and out. A low-profile tonneau cover encloses the bed, helping keep cargo out of sight and protected from the weather. The truck also appears to wear a replacement set of more aggressive, all-terrain-style tires in place of the original factory all-season tires. As with any aftermarket equipment, we encourage buyers to inspect these additions in person. Truck Capability The 5'7' box measures approximately 67.4 inches long at the floor and 66.4 inches wide, with about 51 inches between the wheel wells and a depth of roughly 20 inches. That is plenty of room for ATVs with the tailgate down, a load of mulch, camping gear, or tools for the week, while the shorter box keeps this Crew Cab easier to park and maneuver than long-bed trucks. Because the axle ratio is not shown on this truck's window sticker, towing and payload figures here are estimates based on Ram's official 2018 towing chart for the closest matching configuration, a Crew Cab
