The new Ram 1500 combines comfort and performance to deliver an exceptional driving experience. The truck has plenty of features that make your work and play activities fun. Our team at MY Jeep Chrysler Dodge Ram will explore the new Ram 1500 below to show you why it stands out from its competition in Salinas.
What the Ram 1500 Has to Offer for 2025
The new Ram 1500 has received a wide range of upgrades to continue dominating the truck segment. The vehicle has new wheel designs, lighting elements, and a freshened color palette. The 12-inch center screen in the previous models has been replaced with a 14.5-inch touchscreen.
Also, the front passenger will now be entertained by a screen in front of them. A new Tungsten model has been introduced for Morgan Hill truck lovers looking for exceptional comfort. For 2025, RAM has replaced the Hemi V8 engine with a twin-turbo inline-six engine.
Exterior
Unlike most trucks, the new Ram 1500 offers a red-carpet treatment as you approach it. As you walk towards the driver’s door, an exterior light carpet guides you towards the door. The front grille has been redesigned to make the vehicle look better.
When you need to access the truck bed, you can open the tailgate by simply pressing buttons on the tailgate’s handle or the overhead console. You can also use your key fob to open the tailgate. In the truck bed, two 110-volt power outlets help power your music equipment, gadgets, and tools. When you are done working with your tools, you can keep them in the secure RamBox cargo management system found on the truck bed’s exterior.
Interior
The new Ram 1500 features unique storage compartments throughout the cabin. These include rear under-seat storage and in-floor storage. The Limited model’s interior has heated and ventilated class-exclusive reclining rear seats, class-exclusive dual wireless charging pads, a wood and leather-wrapped steering wheel, and premium leather details throughout the cabin.
When you go for the luxurious Tungsten model, you get noise-canceling features, premium leather seating, a suede headliner, bright metal speakers, and real wood and carbon fiber accents. The model also offers 24-way power-adjustable driver and front passenger seats that are heated and ventilated. With an all-new massage functionality available, you can sit back and enjoy the ride after a long day of work in Watsonville.
Capability
The new Ram 1500 is powered by three engine options: A high-output 3.0L Hurricane engine that churns out 540 horsepower and 521 pound-feet of torque, a 3.0L Hurricane engine that gives 420 horsepower and 469 pound-feet of torque, and a 3.6L Pentastar V6 engine with eTorque that yields 305 horsepower and 269 pound-feet of torque.
The truck has a Selec-Speed Control feature that balances the brake pressure and engine torque as you descend rough slopes, allowing you to focus on the steering wheel. With up to 11,550 pounds of towing capacity available, you can rely on the Ram 1500 to move your work or play equipment from one area to another in Monterey.
Gilroy off-road enthusiasts should opt for the Rebel model, as it has features such as a one-inch raised ride height, 33-inch tires, front and rear Bilstein performance-tuned shock absorbers, and a lifted suspension.
Technology
According to RAM, the new Ram 1500 has more than 50 inches of combined digital display viewing area, 10 inches more than the closest competitor in its class. The truck has a 12-inch driver information digital cluster display that shows vital safety alerts and information about your trip. It also has a 14.5-inch Uconnect center touchscreen that you can use to customize your maps, entertainment, and comfort settings.
The front passenger stays entertained by a 10.25-inch display in front of them. A 23-speaker Klipsch Reference Premiere Audio System is also available for more entertainment. You don’t have to carry key fobs and keys around, as you can simply use a Ram Digital Key to open your truck and start the engine.
