2025 Ram 1500 First Drive Review: From Laborer To King

2025 Ram 1500 First Drive Review: From Laborer To King

Whether you are a blue collar worker or a CEO, there is a 2025 Ram 1500 to fit your needs. The base Tradesman trim starts at $40,275, while the Big Horn and Lone Star models each cost $44,935 (all prices exclude a $1,995 destination and handling fee). The off-road Rebel trim costs $54,195 while the premium Laramie starts to get spendy at $60,030. In the luxurious tier, the Limited Longhorn is priced at $75,650, the Limited is $75,155, and the Tungsten caps the lineup at $87,155. Switching out engines and ticking options boxes adds to these costs.

Other trucks from Ford and GM offer similar amenities, but the Ram 1500 takes the luxury a bit further with car-like handling, air suspension, huge inline-six power, a class-leading stereo, and huge screens. The new Hurricane engine fixes what was the Ram 1500’s most glaring weakness against its competitors, but now it leapfrogs them in spectacular fashion. It takes a lot to make a truck owner consider changing brands, but the 2025 Ram 1500 should make Ford and GM owners consider switching.
