In recent years, high-performance off-road pickups have dominated the truck market, becoming symbols of power and prestige. Models like the Ford Raptor and Ram TRX have defined the segment with their off-road prowess and wild horsepower figures. Yet, despite their rugged capabilities, most of these trucks rarely see a speck of mud, spending nearly all their time on pavement. That’s where the new Ram 1500 Sport Truck steps in — a machine designed not for rock crawling or dune bashing, but for tearing up the streets with raw muscle and unapologetic attitude.
Born from a partnership between Mopar and Fox Factory, this new street-focused Ram combines factory-backed engineering with custom performance expertise. The result is the Fox Factory Ram 1500 Lowered, a bold reinterpretation of what a modern performance pickup can be. Based on the Ram 1500 Big Horn, it builds upon Mopar’s Direct Connection tuning program and adds a number of distinctive touches — from aggressive aerodynamic components to gold accent striping and a noticeably lowered stance that gives it a menacing, track-ready look.
Powering this beast is the legendary 5.7-liter Hemi V8, boosted by a twin-screw Whipple supercharger that cranks output up to a staggering 650 horsepower. Buyers can choose between rear- or four-wheel drive, but either way, the setup delivers serious performance. A 3.92 rear axle ratio and 305/40R22 tires help translate all that power into rapid acceleration and confident traction. The soundtrack matches the performance, thanks to a cat-back exhaust system tuned to deliver a deep, thunderous roar every time the driver hits the throttle. The engine is paired with an automatic transmission — the only available option — for seamless and responsive shifts.
Despite its street performance focus, the truck remains impressively capable. It offers up to 11,320 pounds of towing capacity and a 1,910-pound payload rating, proving it hasn’t sacrificed practicality for speed. The four-door cabin seats five comfortably, making it both a performance toy and a daily driver. Its Ridetech-developed suspension system lowers the front by 3 inches and the rear by 5.5 inches, creating a balanced stance while improving handling. Components such as tubular control arms, traction bars, and coilovers help sharpen steering response and minimize wheel hop during hard launches.
Inside, the truck features custom Mopar Connection branding, upgraded stitching, and subtle design enhancements that reinforce its performance pedigree. Exterior color choices include black, silver, white, two shades of gray, and blue — all accented by the model’s signature gold detailing. Pricing begins at $89,995, and when fully equipped with leather upholstery and four-wheel drive, it approaches $95,000.
Sold through Mopar Direct Connection, the truck can be ordered and serviced directly through participating Ram dealerships, ensuring factory-backed reliability and support. The return of a true street truck like this is a breath of fresh air in a market dominated by off-road monsters. The Fox Factory Ram 1500 Sport Truck proves there’s still a place for muscle trucks built for the open road — fast, bold, and surprisingly usable for everyday life. It’s the modern rebirth of a genre that enthusiasts have been missing for far too long.
