The Express keeps the same engine and towing strength as Tradesman but feels more relaxed inside. Cloth seating remains practical, but the cabin looks cleaner and more modern. The touchscreen grows to 8.4-inches, which makes daily use easier. Wireless phone connectivity becomes available. This trim is a great choice if you want a work ready truck that still feels comfortable around town.

Warlock Adds a Tougher Personality

Sport Feels Clean and Confident

Sport trims bring a more polished design. The Hurricane engine option adds strong power and smooth acceleration. Towing moves past 8,000 pounds when equipped properly. Inside, premium cloth or leather trimmed seats are used. A large 12 inch touchscreen sits at the centre, paired with wireless phone connectivity and a wireless charger. This trim is ideal for drivers who want performance with a modern look.

Rebel Is Ready for Adventure

Rebel is built for drivers who leave the pavement. Power stays strong with the Hurricane engine, and towing remains confident. Seats are trimmed in durable materials that feel supportive. The 12 inch touchscreen is standard and easy to use. Heated seats and a heated steering wheel help during colder months. This trim fits drivers who want confidence off road and comfort on road.

Laramie Feels Warm and Refined
