In the not-too-distant wake of our report on American muscle trucks, Stellantis—the company formerly known as Fiat Chrysler Automobiles—announces a limited run of factory-modified 2021 Ram 1500 pickups that's scheduled to land in select Ram dealerships this summer.
The Mopar 2021 Ram 1500 Special Edition, does pack a 5.7L Hemi engine between its front fenders, but, unlike bonafide big-horsepower predecessors like the 2006 SRT-10 and the all-new 2021 Ram 1500 TRX, the SE's powerplant is stone-bone stock, and as such "only" makes 395hp and 410 lb-ft of torque.
With the $8,500 Special Edition option, Mopar is basically taking a combination of 250 crew-cab 2021 Ram 1500 Big Horn/Lone Star pickups and adding side steps, tow hooks, adjustable tie downs, a spray-in bedliner, body-color tonneau cover, all-weather floor mats, and hardware for installing exterior/interior trailer cameras.
