What Makes the Sandblast Edition Stand Out From the Ram 1500?

The Sandblast Edition is available as an optional upgrade to the Ram 1500 TRX trim, which is the top trim in the lineup for this truck. It’s powered by a 702-horsepower engine that easily handles whatever towing or off-roading challenge you throw at it. You’ll need to add the Level 2 Equipment Group to access the new edition, ensuring its interior features are as luxurious as they come.

The Sandblast Edition’s most obvious feature is its unique paint color, which helps it to blend into desert conditions. In addition to the paint, the Sandblast Edition rides on 18-inch black wheels that are unique to this pickup edition. Inside the cabin, you’ll notice the frost contrast stitching and the Sandblast Edition badge on the center console. Finally, the Sandblast Edition has unique graphics on its infotainment and other displays.

Ram 1500 TRX Engine and Performance

The Sandblast Edition’s engine is a 6.2L supercharged V-8 capable of beating just about any other pickup in a sprint. The 702 horsepower and 650 lb-ft of torque it produces help propel the Ram 1500 TRX from zero to 60 mph in just 4.5 seconds. The engine also gives you the power to handle rock crawling, sand dunes, or a heavy trailer.

In addition to this powerful unit under the hood, the Sandblast Edition has four-wheel drive to help you cope on all surfaces. No other Ram 1500 trim offers four-wheel drive as standard, which is why the TRX is always the first choice for off-roaders. Ram has equipped its newest addition to the lineup with an off-road chassis and strengthened air filter to help the Sandblast Edition deal with all sorts of terrain, including dusty deserts and trails.

Fuel efficiency isn’t the Ram 1500 TRX’s strong point, but you’re probably not too concerned by that if you want to take advantage of the Sandblast Edition’s capabilities. This truck achieves 10 mpg on city roads and 14 mpg on the highway.

Ram 1500 Cargo and Passenger Options

The Sandblast Edition shares the TRX’s cab and cargo bed configuration: a five-seater crew cab with a short cargo bed. The crew cab is the Ram 1500’s largest cab option, providing cavernous seating in both rows for adult passengers. The cargo bed measures 5 feet 7 inches in length and has over 4 feet of distance between the wheel wells, making it perfect for loading plywood and other work supplies.

Inside the cabin, the Sandblast Edition gets genuine leather upholstery, heated and ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, and power adjustments for the front passenger seats. The driver benefits from a heated steering wheel, a surround-view parking camera, and front and rear parking sensors.

If you need a larger cargo bed, you may want to check out the other options in the Ram 1500’s lineup. Other trims offer the option of a longer cargo bed measuring 6 feet 4 inches in length. This bed can be paired with the crew cab or the quad cab, which still has a rear row but more compact seats.

If your primary reason for purchasing a Ram 1500 is for the job site, you may want to consider the Ram Classic 1500. It includes an extra-long bed measuring over 8 feet and a regular cab with a single bench seat.

Infotainment and Safety Features

You won’t be able to miss the infotainment screen in the Sandblast Edition since it measures 12 inches and is linked to a 10-speaker premium stereo. Other attractive features are smartphone compatibility with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a Wi-Fi hotspot, satellite radio, and Bluetooth. On top of the main infotainment display, you also get a head-up display to keep up with speed limits, directions, and other important information while driving.

Ram gives its TRX trim a great selection of driver assistance features to help you stay safe while on the road. In the Sandblast Edition, you get adaptive cruise control, a feature that automatically adjusts your speed on the highway to maintain a safe distance from others.

Other safety features worth noting include forward collision warning, pedestrian detection, and lane-keep assist. The surround-view parking camera will come in handy if you need to line up your truck perfectly when you’re towing a trailer or need to maneuver carefully into a tight spot.
