On a 2026 Ram 1500, the Sport is the trim Ram Canada's pages confirm with remote start, heated seats and a heated steering wheel as standard. Ram Canada also lists heated and ventilated front seats on the Laramie, heated and ventilated rear seats on the Limited, and front seats with heat, ventilation and massage on the Tungsten. For every other trim, the original window sticker is the answer we will stand behind, so read it on any truck in our new Ram 1500 inventory before you fall for the paint, then look at this month's Ram finance offers once you know which trim you are after.
Picture minus 30 in a Portage la Prairie driveway at seven in the morning. The truck has been warming on the remote starter, the frost is coming off the glass, and you still have to grab a steering wheel that spent the night on the open prairie. That is the moment a warm seat and a warm wheel stop being extras. Here is what Ram Canada confirms, trim by trim, and where its pages go quiet.
Key Takeaways
- Sport: Ram Canada lists standard remote start, heated seats and a heated steering wheel.
- Laramie: Ram Canada lists heated and ventilated leather faced bucket front seats.
- Limited and Limited Longhorn: heated and ventilated reclining rear seats on the Limited, and ventilated rear seats on the Longhorn.
- Tungsten: 24 way power front seats with heat, ventilation, memory and massage.
- Remote start: Ram Canada's model page marks a remote starter on every trim from the Tradesman through the Sport.
- Everything else: the window sticker for that VIN settles it. No package price appears here.
How to Read This List
Every line below comes from Ram Canada's own 2026 Ram 1500 pages: the models and specs page, the design page and the Sport page, as read in October 2026. We used Canadian trim names exactly as Ram Canada lists them: Tradesman, Express, Black Express, Big Horn, Warlock, Sport, Rebel, Laramie, Limited, Limited Longhorn, Tungsten and RHO.
A feature is called standard only where Ram Canada says so. Where Ram Canada's pages do not settle a feature for a trim, we say "not confirmed" and send you to the sticker, because a guess here costs you a cold January.
Ram Canada has also started posting 2027 Ram 1500 pages. Equipment can move between model years, so a 2027 truck gets read off its own sticker, not this list.
Ram 1500 Heated Seats, Trim by Trim
Tradesman. Ram Canada's key standard equipment list names the 3.6 litre Pentastar V6, 18 inch steel wheels, the Uconnect 5 touchscreen and blind spot monitoring, and the model page marks a remote starter. Heated seats and a heated wheel are not in that list. Not confirmed; read the sticker for any package on the truck.
Express and Black Express. Ram Canada's highlights are appearance and convenience items: body colour bumpers, a rear power sliding window, side steps and 20 inch wheels on the Express, and black cloth bucket seats on the Black Express. Remote starter marked. Heated seats and wheel not confirmed; read the sticker.
Big Horn. Ram Canada's highlights are the electronic shift on demand transfer case, chrome bumpers, adaptive cruise control with stop and go, and the Level 1 Safety Group, with a remote starter marked. Ram Canada lists heated front seats among what the Sport adds over the Big Horn, so on a Big Horn, seat and wheel heat depend on how that truck was ordered. We could not confirm from a Canadian Ram page which Big Horn group adds them, so we are not naming one. The sticker will.
Warlock. Ram Canada's highlights are off road hardware: 33 inch all terrain tires, Bilstein shocks, skid plates and an electronic locking rear axle. Remote starter marked. Heated seats and wheel not confirmed; read the sticker.
Sport. Ram Canada's Sport page lists standard remote start, heated seats and a heated steering wheel among its Canadian must haves, and the models page lists heated front seats among the Sport's highlights over the Big Horn. Ventilated seats and rear seat heat not confirmed; read the sticker.
Rebel and RHO. The Ram Canada pages we read did not set out heated seat, heated wheel or remote start status for these two. Not confirmed; read the sticker.
Laramie. Ram Canada lists heated and ventilated leather faced bucket front seats among the Laramie's highlights. The heated wheel and rear seat heat are not confirmed on the Canadian pages we read; read the sticker.
Limited. Ram Canada describes 12 way power quilted leather front bucket seats and reclining rear seats that are heated and ventilated. Its Limited copy does not spell out front seat heat or the wheel, so confirm both on the sticker.
Limited Longhorn. Ram Canada lists ventilated rear seats. The rest is not confirmed; read the sticker.
Tungsten. Ram Canada describes 24 way power driver and front passenger seats with heat, ventilation, memory and massage. The heated wheel and rear seats are not confirmed; read the sticker.
The Lowest Trim With a Warm Seat and Wheel
Of the trims Ram Canada's own pages confirm, the Sport sits lowest in the lineup with heated seats and a heated steering wheel named as standard. That makes it the safe pick if both are non negotiable and you would rather not check a package line on every truck.
The honest concession: a Big Horn can carry the same comfort if it was ordered that way, and that may suit you if you want the Big Horn's look or spend. You just have to confirm it truck by truck on the sticker. Our Ram 1500 Big Horn vs Sport comparison walks through the other differences between the two. If you work the truck hard and the cab is secondary, a Tradesman or Warlock may still be the right buy; just go in knowing the heat is a sticker question, not a given.
Remote Start on the 2026 Ram 1500
Ram Canada's 2026 models page marks a remote starter on the Tradesman, Express, Black Express, Big Horn, Warlock and Sport, and the Sport page calls it standard. For the Rebel, Laramie, Limited, Limited Longhorn, Tungsten and RHO, the Canadian pages we read did not show that line, so read the sticker.
On a prairie morning the cab warms while you finish your coffee, and the heated seat and wheel finish the job. For how long to let it run when the forecast drops, see our post on how long to run remote start in winter.
What You Can and Cannot Add Later
On the trims and packages Ram Canada lists, heated seats, ventilated seats and the heated wheel come from the factory as part of the truck's build. Whether any of them can be added to a truck built without them is a question to ask our team, and our advice is simple: buy the truck that already has them rather than planning around a retrofit.
Remote start is the same conversation. If a truck you like does not have it, ask our team whether a remote starter can be added to that truck before you count on it.
If a heated seat or the heated wheel on your Ram stops warming, that is a repair, not an add on. Our post on heated seats that stop working on a Ram or Jeep covers the likely causes, and our service department does electrical repair, so you can book an electrical diagnosis with our service team before the cold sets in.
Reading the Features on a Used Ram 1500 Listing
A used Ram 1500 listing is a lead, not proof. The trim name tells you where to start. Then:
- Find the model year and trim. A Laramie from one year is not a Laramie from another, so match the listing to that year's equipment, not today's.
- Ask for the original window sticker for the VIN. It lists the packages the truck was built with. If the seller does not have it, ask our team whether they can pull it for that VIN.
- Look in the cab. Find the heated seat, ventilated seat and heated wheel controls on the screen or the centre stack. If there is no control, the feature is likely not there.
- Test them. On a cold morning, turn each one on and give it time. A control that lights up but never warms points to the repair side above.
When you are ready to shop, browse our used truck inventory with this checklist in hand, and get a number on what your current vehicle is worth before you visit.
FAQs
Does the Ram 1500 Tradesman have heated seats?
Ram Canada does not list heated seats in the 2026 Tradesman's key standard equipment. A particular truck may have been ordered with more, so check its window sticker.
Which Ram 1500 trim has heated seats and a heated steering wheel as standard?
The Sport, among the trims Ram Canada's own pages confirm. Ram Canada's Sport page lists standard remote start, heated seats and a heated steering wheel. Other trims can carry them depending on the build, which the sticker shows.
Does every 2026 Ram 1500 have remote start?
Ram Canada's models page marks a remote starter on the Tradesman, Express, Black Express, Big Horn, Warlock and Sport. For the Rebel, Laramie, Limited, Limited Longhorn, Tungsten and RHO, confirm it on the sticker.
Which Ram 1500 has heated and ventilated rear seats?
The Limited. Ram Canada describes its reclining rear seats as heated and ventilated, and it lists ventilated rear seats on the Limited Longhorn.
How do I check a used Ram 1500 for heated seats?
Read the original window sticker for that VIN, then find the controls in the cab and test them on a cold morning. A trim name on a listing is only a starting point.
The Bottom Line
If a warm seat and a warm wheel are the point, the 2026 Ram 1500 Sport is the trim Ram Canada confirms with both as standard, plus remote start. Ram Canada lists heated and ventilated seating on the Laramie, Limited and Tungsten, and ventilated rear seats on the Limited Longhorn. For every other trim, and every 2027 truck, the window sticker is the final word. Find the right truck in our Ram 1500 inventory in Portage la Prairie, ask our team which current offers apply, and when you are ready, apply for financing online. You will be glad you did on the first minus 30 morning.
