What is the 2016 Ram 1500 Special Edition? 

There wasn’t just one special edition Ram 1500 in 2016—there were three! In addition to an already diverse lineup of trim, here are the special editions that were offered:
  • Black Ram 1500 Express is the lineup’s black-on-black-on-black option, featuring an all-black exterior package, a sleek black exterior, and black quad halogen headlamps.
  • Ram 1500 Black Sport Edition is another blacked-out truck, but it looks and feels a bit more sporty.
  • Ram 1500 Outdoorsman Mossy Oak Edition is arguably the most unique in the lineup, designed with hunters and fishermen in mind and featuring custom camouflage accents and an under-floor storage system.

2016 Ram 1500 overview

Before getting into the nitty-gritty of each of the 2016 Ram 1500 special edition trucks, let’s do a quick overview of the entire lineup.
The Ram is a full-size pickup truck that was originally released in 1980. It used to be called the
Dodge
Ram—but has been marketed under the Ram Trucks brand since 2010. Since the second generation launched in 1994, models included the 1500 half-ton,
2500
three-quarter-ton, and
3500
dual-rear-wheel one-ton. 
The 2016 Ram is part of the vehicle’s fourth generation, which launched in 2009. A whopping 11
trim level options
were available for the 2016 Ram 1500: the introductory Tradesman, the Express, the HFE, the SLT, the Big Horn (aka the Lone Star, for those living in Texas), the Outdoorsman, the Sport, the all-new Rebel, the Laramie, the Laramie Longhorn, and the top-of-the-line Limited. 
In addition to choosing a trim, buyers have to sort through additional options, like cabin style, engine, and bed length. 
Key specs
  • Starting MSRP of $27,340
  • 3 engines to choose from: a 3.0-liter V6 diesel, a 3.6-liter V6, or a 5.7-liter V8
  • 240 to 395 horsepower, depending on the engine 
  • 269 to 420 lb-ft of

    , depending on the engine 
  • IIHS overall safety rating of “good” 

What’s special about the Special Edition?

Although the 2016 Ram 1500 doesn’t have a truck that’s actually called “Special Edition,” there are three unique special edition trims: the Black Ram 1500 Express, the Ram 1500 Black Sport Edition, and the Ram 1500 Outdoorsman Mossy Oak Edition.
Let’s take a look at each! 

2016 Black Ram 1500 Express 

With a starting MSRP of $28,840, this special edition Ram 1500 is a black-on-black-on-black version of the Express trim level, which is just one step above the entry-level Tradesman. Express features include 20-inch aluminum wheels, fog lights, and carpeted floors with floor mats.
The Black Ram 1500 Express features a sleek all-black exterior package and comes with a UConnect system with a 5-inch touchscreen, remote keyless entry, semi-gloss black 20-inch aluminum wheels, and black quad halogen headlamps. With an available 5.7-liter HEMI V8 engine, this pickup can tow up to 10,650 pounds and carry a max payload of 1,880 pounds.

2016 Ram Black Sport Edition 

This sporty blacked-out pickup starts at $37,580 and is an improved-upon version of the Ram 1500 Sport trim level, which includes LED interior lights and taillights, a rearview camera, and an 8.4-inch touchscreen for Uconnect. This includes smartphone integration, an SD slot, and more.
The Black Sport Edition also comes with semi-gloss black 20-inch aluminum wheels, a 5.7 HEMI Badge in flat black, a nine-speaker sound system with a subwoofer, bifunctional halogen projector headlamps, all-season tires, a sport-performance hood, and dual-zone automatic temperature controls.

2016 Ram 1500 Outdoorsman Mossy Oak Edition

The 2016 Dodge RAM 1500 Outdoorsman is designed with off-roading in mind. It has heavy-duty rear shock absorbers, a big fuel tank, all-terrain tires, tow hooks, and underbody skid plates.
The Mossy Oak takes things a step further, by serving as a vehicle specifically manufactured for hunters and fishermen. Starting at $42,895, this truck has everything you need to head out into the great outdoors. It adds custom camo accents, under-floor storage bins, 17-inch wheels, the RamBox cargo storage system, a UConnect system with navigation, and an available EcoDiesel engine offering up to 27 mpg on the highway.
