One thing pickup buyers like is choice. Choice of models, choice of trims and choice of customization features. Automakers are happy to oblige them, of course, given how lucrative the format is. And so today we have Ram adding another new edition to the Ram 1500 lineup. Meet the 2022 Ram 1500 TRX Sandblast edition.

Essentially, this new variant takes the existing TRX Level 2 Equipment Group package and adds a unique Mojave Sand exterior colour and graphics, unique 18-inch all black bead lock capable wheels, dual pane panoramic sunroof, spray-in bedliner, cargo tie-downs, bed step and an LED cab-mounted brake light.
