2020 RAM 1500 Sport 

in Hinton 

The 2020 Ram 1500 Sport is one of the more popular trims in the fifth-generation Ram lineup because it combines the capability of a full-size pickup with a more aggressive, body-colored appearance package and a well-equipped interior. In Canada, the Sport trim sat above the Big Horn and below luxury-focused trims like the Laramie and Limited.

Engine and Performance

Most 2020 Ram 1500 Sport models came with the 5.7L HEMI V8 producing:

395 hp
410 lb-ft of torque
8-speed automatic transmission
Available in 4x2 or 4x4 configurations

Fuel economy for a 4x4 Crew Cab Sport is roughly:

16.1 L/100 km city
11.0 L/100 km highway
13.8 L/100 km combined

Depending on configuration and equipment, towing capacity can exceed 8,000 lb, with some Ram 1500 models capable of approaching 10,000 lb when properly equipped.

What Makes the Sport Different?

The Sport trim focuses on appearance and comfort:

Body-colour bumpers and grille
20-inch aluminum wheels
Dual exhaust with black tips
LED headlights and fog lamps
Heated front seats
Heated steering wheel
Power driver's seat
Remote start
Push-button start
Sport hood on many configurations
Interior and Technology

The 2020 Sport was one of the nicer truck interiors in its class at the time, featuring:

Uconnect infotainment with 8.4-inch touchscreen
Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
Bluetooth connectivity
Available premium audio systems
Large center console storage
Spacious Crew Cab rear seating
Ride Quality

One of the biggest advantages of the Ram 1500 is its coil-spring rear suspension, which gives it a smoother ride than many competitors from the same era. Reviewers consistently praised the Ram for comfort on long highway trips.

Common Owner Complaints

Some owners have reported:

Exhaust manifold bolt issues on the HEMI V8
Occasional Uconnect software glitches
Rear window frame leaks on certain trucks
Higher fuel consumption compared with V6-equipped models
Is It a Good Used Truck?

For many buyers, the 2020 Ram 1500 Sport is a strong used-truck choice because it offers:
/ Powerful HEMI V8/ Comfortable ride quality/ Modern tech and safety features
 Attractive sport appearance package/ Strong towing capability

The main tradeoffs are fuel economy and the higher maintenance costs that can come with a V8-powered full-size truck.
