2025 Ram 1500 Crew Cab Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The 2025 Ram 1500 is a full-size light-duty pickup. It's available in two primary configurations: the four-door Quad Cab and the roomier crew cab. The Quad Cab only comes with a 6-foot-4 long cargo bed, while the crew cab comes with either a 5-foot-7 short bed or the long bed. For trim levels, Ram offers the Ram 1500 in Tradesman, Bighorn (called Lonestar in Texas), Warlock, Laramie, Rebel, RHO, Limited and Tungsten. Keep reading for a rundown of the Ram 1500's engine lineup and its most significant features by trim level.

The engine lineup includes:

  • 3.6-liter V6 (305 horsepower, 271 lb-ft of torque)
  • Turbocharged 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder, standard output (420 hp, 469 lb-ft)
  • Turbocharged 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder, high output (540 hp, 521 lb-ft)

Each comes paired to an eight-speed automatic transmission. Depending on the trim level, four-wheel drive is either optional or standard.

Tradesman
This work-oriented Ram 1500 comes standard with:

  • Base V6 engine (420-hp inline-six is optional)
  • 18-inch steel wheels
  • LED headlights
  • Vinyl upholstery
  • 8.4-inch center touchscreen
  • Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration
  • Six-speaker sound system

It also comes with these driver assist features:

  • Adaptive cruise control (maintains a driver-set distance between the truck and the car in front)
  • Blind-spot warning with rear cross-traffic warning (alerts you if a vehicle is in your blind spot during a lane change or while in reverse)
  • Forward collision warning with automatic braking (warns you of an impending collision and applies the brakes in certain scenarios)
  • Lane keeping assistance (steers the vehicle back into its lane if it begins to drift over the lane marker)
  • Parking sensors (alert you to obstacles that may not be visible in front of or behind the vehicle when parking)

Bighorn/Lonestar
The Bighorn is equipped similarly to the Tradesman, though it does have cloth seating. The real benefit to choosing the Big Horn or Lone Star comes in the way of available options not offered on the Tradesman.

Warlock
Adds to the Tradesman with:

  • Electronically locking rear differential (maximizes available traction during off-roading)
  • Raised suspension with special off-road shock absorbers
  • Black-painted alloy wheels with all-terrain tires
  • Power-sliding rear window
  • Household-style power outlet
  • Upgraded driver information display

Laramie
The midrange Laramie lacks the Warlock's off-roading hardware but gains:

  • 420-hp inline six-cylinder engine
  • Dual-zone automatic climate control
  • Power-adjustable driver's seat and pedals
  • Leather upholstery
  • Heated front and rear seats
  • Ventilated front seats
  • Heated steering wheel
  • 10-speaker sound system

Rebel
An off-roading version of the Ram 1500, the Rebel combines the Warlock's special features with the Laramie's features upgrades. It also has:

  • Underbody skid plates
  • Special hood
  • 12-inch center touchscreen

RHO
A more extreme version of the Rebel, the RHO further adds:

  • 540-hp high-output inline-six
  • Sport-tuned exhaust
  • Unique long-travel off-roading suspension with Bilstein adaptive shock absorbers
  • Flared fenders
  • RHO-specific bumpers, grille and hood
  • 35-inch all-terrain tires
  • Full configurable digital instrument panel display

Limited
Adds to the Laramie with:

  • 20-inch wheels
  • RamBox cargo bed storage bins (short bed only)
  • Air suspension (can raise or lower the vehicle's ride height)
  • Premium leather upholstery
  • Full configurable digital instrument panel display
  • 12-inch center touchscreen
  • 19-speaker Harman Kardon sound system
  • Two smartphone chargers

Tungsten
The top-trim Tungsten goes full luxury with:

  • 22-inch wheels
  • Tri-fold cargo bed cover
  • Ventilated rear seats
  • 14.5-inch center touchscreen
  • 23-speaker sound system
  • Front passenger interactive touchscreen display
  • Advanced Safety Group II package (see below)
  • Head-up display (displays important information in your sight line on the windshield)
  • Digital rearview mirror

Many of the features on the more expensive trim levels can be added to the less expensive trims as part of optional packages. Other optional packages are also available. Some add more tech-based features for towing, while others are for styling enhancements.

On some trim levels, Ram offers the Advanced Safety Group II package that includes:

  • Surround-view camera system (gives you a top-down view of the truck and its surroundings in tight parking situations)
  • Evasive steering assistance (enhances the forward collision mitigation system with steering-based collision avoidance)
  • Intersection collision mitigation (warns you of an impending collision during a left turn and applies the brakes in certain scenarios)
  • Hands-Free Active Driving Assist (uses the vehicle's advanced driver aids to further provide hands-free driving capability on select highways)

Which 1500 trim does Edmunds recommend?

We recommend the Laramie trim level for most shoppers because it comes with the standard-output turbocharged engine and an appealing set of standard features. It's also the trim where many of the Ram's better upgrades become available, such as a surround-view camera and dual wireless charging pads. If you are looking to go off-road, the Rebel is similarly priced and equipped to the Laramie but offers more capability.
