On the other end of the trim level spectrum, the mighty TRX gains an Ignition variant. The BackCountry, which builds upon the Big Horn/Lone Star, adds a body-color grille surround, black-accented two-tone paint and various black-painted exterior parts. The new Laramie G/T and Rebel G/T (pictured above left) are fully described here. Then there's the annual Ram tradition of new models and appearance packages, most of which are pictured in the above gallery. The Trailer Tow Group adds four LED lights directly above the hitch, and a new Clean Air system is now standard, filtering out 95% of air particulates. It's four times faster and has three times more memory than Uconnect 4 (which was one of the better systems out there as-is). The new Uconnect 5 tech interface is added to the Ram 1500, starting with the Big Horn trim level.

Apart from the Ford, we have yet to spend enough time with these updated competitors to make any definitive statements about which is now the best (OK, so it's probably not the Tundra), but the Ram definitely remains in the running. For 2022, there's an all-new Toyota Tundra that counts a rear coil-spring suspension (just like the Ram) among its multitude of improvements, while the 2022 Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra see their laughable interiors get replaced by what appear to be cabins that are every bit the equal (if possibly better) than the Ram in terms of design, quality and feature content.
#TUNDRA LED BADGE PLUS#
Last year's updated Ford F-150 saw the addition of a hybrid powertrain Ram can't match, plus chassis refinements that wipe out much of the Ram's previous on-road advantages.
The wrinkle is that this winner's league just got a whole lot harder this season. It satisfies the nuts-and-bolts capability requirements of a serious truck, while boasting shockingly refined road manners and a knock-out interior. From the humble Tradesman all the way up to the indulgent Limited (with the stupefying Ram TRX on its own high-octane plane of existence), the Ram is a thoughtfully designed truck with distinctive features and a compelling lineup of build combinations. The 20 remains every bit the exceptional pickup it's been since being completely redesigned three years ago.
