The high-end pickup, which will only be available as a crew cab with the 5.7-liter V8 and mild hybrid assist, clocks in at a whopping $67,100 after destination fees. That places it just above the [Chevy Silverado]() High Country, which starts at $64,945, as well as the Ford F-150 Platinum, whose base price is $65,540. The Limited Elite will offer Ram's multifunction tailgate as well as a bed step and bed cargo divider as standard features. Not enough to justify the big price tag? Fortunately, the interior is loaded with plush accouterments including a jeweled rotary shifter, leather seats with 12-way adjustable controls for the front occupants, a 19-speaker Harman-Kardon sound system, and brightwork-laden pedals. It's meant to be the best of America's broughams with a bed, aimed squarely at the rest of the Big Three. It's not as snazzy as [a GMC Denali Ultimate](), but it does have a suede headliner. Try not to get it dirty, OK? Ram's press release mentions that the Limited Elite will get a "unique instrument cluster theme." *[TFL Truck]()* claims this to mean a digital 12.3-inch driver info display is coming, though there's nothing official confirming that. On one hand, it wouldn't be a surprise since screens are the [biggest trend in car design](), literally; on the other, Ram hasn't come forward and said as much. There aren't even any photos of the Ram 1500 Limited Elite's interior as of right now. [The 2022 Ram Limited]()'s 10th Anniversary Edition had several of the same features, including the jeweled shifter and suede headliner, which you can see below. ![]() ![]() The price comes in at a slight discount versus the outgoing 10th Anniversary Edition, as that truck clocked in at $69,925 after destination, meaning the Limited Elite is $2,825 cheaper. If all this suede sounds enticing, buyers who missed out on the 10th Anniversary Limited can pick up a Limited Elite starting in October. ## Author Victoria Scott is a former staff writer for The Drive.
