The 2026 RAM 1500 BackCountry is a new off-road package that slots between the Warlock and Rebel trims, delivering real capability at a price that makes sense. Here are its highlights.

Built on the RAM 1500 Big Horn 4×4

The RAM 1500 BackCountry builds on the popular Big Horn 4×4 Crew Cab trim with a purpose-built package that adds functional off-road hardware and distinctive blacked-out styling. It’s available with either the 5.7-liter HEMI® V8 eTorque engine or the 3.0-liter Hurricane™ Twin Turbo inline-six engine, so you get to choose the powertrain that fits how you use your truck.

Trail-Ready from the Factory

This isn’t just a simple cosmetic package. The RAM 1500 BackCountry comes with a 1-inch suspension lift, heavy-duty shock absorbers, 32-inch off-road tires on Satin Black 18-inch wheels, front tow hooks, a rear electronic locking differential, and Selec-Speed® off-road cruise control. It also includes skid plates that protect the front underbody, power steering rack, transfer case, and fuel tank.

A Cabin That Can Take a Beating

Inside, durable vinyl bucket seats with alloy printed mesh inserts are built to handle muddy boots and dusty gear. A MOLLE panel seatback storage system keeps essentials organized, and standard all-weather rubber floor mats mean cleanup is never a concern.
