Whether you need to haul loads across Shiloh or want to explore Illinois’s national parks, the 2025 Ram 1500 can go wherever the day takes you. Strong powertrain options, versatile configurations, and luxury amenities make this pickup truck perfect for most purposes and lifestyles.

Meet the 2025 Ram 1500

The new Ram 1500 got a complete overhaul for the new model year, replacing the previous year’s available 5.7L HEMI engine with two available 3.0L Hurricane engines for enhanced power output and performance. The lineup also features brand-new trim levels, including the Warlock, Rho, and off-road-ready Tungsten.

Designed for work, the entry Tradesman, Tradesman HFE, and Big Horn models come standard in Quad Cab style, offering seating for up to six riders and a flexible configuration of the rear row for easy cargo transport. The Tradesman and Big Horn are also available in Crew Cab with a 5.7-foot or 6.4-foot box. The Warlock and upper trims are offered exclusively in Crew Cab style for enhanced passenger comfort.

Powerful Performance 

Whether you choose the base Tradesman or the range-topper Tungsten, each Ram 1500 trim level boasts powerful performance. The base powertrain pairs a 3.6L Pentastar V6 engine with a TorqueFlite 8-speed automatic transmission for exceptional power and fuel economy. This setup produces 305 horsepower and 269 lb-ft of torque for a maximum payload capacity of 2,370 lbs.

A 3.0L Hurricane Twin-Turbo I-6 engine is available across all trims, providing more torque for enhanced towing capacity. Paired with the same 8-speed automatic transmission, it produces 420 horsepower and 469 lb-ft of torque for a towing capacity of up to 11,550 lbs. Select trim levels can also be had with a High-Output 3.0L Hurricane engine for 540 horsepower, 521 lb-ft of torque, and impressive capability off the road.

Technologies for Work and Play

The new Ram 1500 comes packed with convenience, infotainment, and safety technologies. Each trim level boasts a digital instrument cluster that displays all the essential driving information, including towing and trailer data in vehicles equipped with optional trailer monitoring systems. A power tailgate is also available for easier bed access.

Ram’s Uconnect 5 infotainment system comes with numerous connectivity options, including Bluetooth phone control and smartphone integration with Android Auto or Apple CarPlay. A ParkView Rear Backup camera comes standard for easier backing, while an available 360-degree camera helps with backing and cornering in crowded intersections and tight spaces. Adaptive cruise control and remote vehicle start are other standard features.

The new Ram 1500 brings impressive capability and comes in a wide range of trim levels to suit all needs and budgets. Visit us at Auffenberg Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram in Shiloh, IL to schedule a test drive and try all its features on the road.

In the world of full-size pickups, few compare to the 2024 RAM 1500, as it offers something for everyone with its muscular, work-ready performance, advanced entertainment features, luxurious cabin, and these highlights that help separate it from other pickups in its class. Let’s explore the ways that the 2024 RAM 1500 redefines the pickup truck experience.

Three Powerful Engines

Along with available four-wheel drive, the 2024 RAM 1500 comes standard with a powerful 305-horsepower 3.6-liter V6 in the base model that generates 273 pound-feet of torque. This engine also tows up to 7,730 pounds, though more strength can be found in the second engine, a 395-horsepower 5.7-liter V8 that tows 12,750 pounds while generating 410 pound-feet of torque. The third engine is a stunning 702-horsepower 6.2-liter V8 with 650 pound-feet of torque, which comes exclusively with off-road-enhanced RAM 1500 TRX models.

Stylish and Comfy Inside

Inside the cabin, there’s seating for up to six passengers and plenty of stylish interior color schemes offered among the many different trim levels, with highlights like Indigo with Sea Salt, Black with Diesel Gray, and unique Mountain Brown. Both the front and rear seats have heating options, the front seats also offer available ventilation, power-adjustability, and lumbar support, and a 60/40 split-folding rear seat comes standard, while a rear under-seat storage compartment is available in select trim levels.

Designed for Tough Jobs

The available multi-function tailgate is just one of many convenient design features found outside the truck and has a 60/40 swing-away door configuration, which not only allows for easier access to the bed, but also does away with hitching issues when trailering. There’s also the optional RamBox Cargo Management system, both roll-up and tri-fold tonneau covers, spray-in bedliner, and a deployable bed side-step to make performing work easier. 

Tech Everyone Can Love

Also providing convenient tech for work and play, this edition comes with Uconnect, a multi-function infotainment system with both a full-color touchscreen and voice-control technology and available navigation. When playing music on this system, old tunes receive renewed clarity with the optional 19-speaker Harman Kardon audio system, while other available tech highlights include a 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot, a head-up display for gauging info on the windshield, and a 115-volt auxiliary power outlet.

A Suite of Safety Systems

Keeping you and your passengers safe, this truck’s driver-assist features are also high-tech, and stability-enhancing systems like Hill Start Assist, Trailer Sway Damping, Traction Control, and Electronic Stability Control with Electronic Roll Mitigation all come standard. The ParkView Rear Back-Up Camera also comes standard, and available systems include standouts like Lane Keep Assist, Full-Speed Forward Collision Plus, Parallel and Perpendicular Park Assist with Stop, and Blind Spot Monitoring with Rear Cross-Path Detection.

Whether you’re looking for a heavy-duty pickup to handle tough workloads or navigate rough terrain, the 2024 RAM 2500 is ready to accommodate. Check out how the 2024 RAM 2500 provides all the power, performance, and precision you need for your heavy-duty tasks, no matter how tough the job.

Two Powerful Engines

This edition of the 2024 RAM 2500 provides two muscular engine choices to meet different needs. The base 6.4-liter HEMI V8 produces an impressive 410 horsepower and 429 pound-feet of torque, which adds up to a 17,740-pound maximum towing capacity when properly equipped with the right towing package. However, if you want even stronger towing capabilities, the other engine is a 6.7-liter turbo diesel I-6 that allows you to pull up to 19,990 pounds when properly equipped, by combining 370 horsepower with 850 pound-feet of torque.

Off-Roading Capabilities

Exploring off-road terrains is made easy with this pickup’s available four-wheel-drive system, which effortlessly conquers sand, grass, gravel, and dirt, as well as snow-filled roads. This versatility can be enhanced with a wide array of available trail-tackling features, including a heavy-duty suspension for smoother handling, an anti-spin differential rear axle for improved traction, and for the most extreme driving conditions, a 6,000-pound front axle.

A Work-Ready Design

Designed to make work easier, this pickup’s exterior offers a standard locking tailgate with both dampening and power-release options. The bed is also ready for cargo with available features like LED lighting, spray-in bedliner, and to protect everything, multiple tonneau cover options. Then, there’s the RamBox Cargo Management System, an available feature that comes with two lockable, drainable storage bins and a driver’s side electrical outlet for added convenience.

Luxury and Comforts

While the vehicle’s exterior is tough, inside it’s a different story with luxury and comfort offerings that include standard split-folding front seats in the base trim, available heated and ventilated bucket seats in select models, and high-end fabric options ranging from tough vinyl to premium leather. A split-folding rear seat also comes standard, making it easy to accommodate cargo and, depending on the trim level, you have many stylish interior color schemes, like the unique Black with Cattle Tan combo.

Next-Level Technology

Also boasting plenty of convenient entertainment and driver-assist features, this pickup comes with the Uconnect system, a feature that puts streaming audio, voice-controlled calling, and other functions at your fingertips. Using personal devices on journeys is easy with the standard 12-volt power outlet, multiple USB ports, and available wireless charging pad and Wi-Fi hotspot. Adaptive Cruise Control, Full-Speed Forward Collision Warning, Blind Spot Monitoring with Trailer & Cross-Path Detection are all available, and the Rear View Backup Camera comes standard.
