Design updates include 2.0-kW inverter and power tailgate
A design update to the 2025 Ram 1500 includes a variety of changes to the body stylings, with an eye towards aerodynamics and clean, consistent profiles throughout. Several lighting options are available across the lineup and depending on the trim level selected.
At the back of the truck, a power open/close tailgate is new for 2025, and allows users to lower the tailgate with the key fob. A multifunction tailgate continues to be available. The RamBox cargo management system includes versatile weatherproof, lockable, illuminable, and drainable storage bins built into the bed rails.
An onboard power inverter can produce up to two kW. Two covered outlets in the bed allow owners to power lights, a television, a reciprocating saw, and other tools as needed. Users with the 3.0-litre engine running and in park can turn the inverter on via the touchscreen or a switch near the outlets, which will ramp the engine rpms up to support the inverter. Trucks equipped with the 3.6-litre V-6 can run the inverter while the truck is in motion.
Added technology for connected services and safety
The Uconnect 5 system includes a 12-inch touchscreen with higher resolution and new 14.5-inch reconfigurable touchscreen displays that feature split-screen capability for dual application operation. A 10.25-inch passenger screen offers three major functions – copilot, entertainment via HDMI, and the ability to view exterior vehicle cameras.
Technology targeting safety include Active Driving Assist, Ram’s Level 2 automated driving capability, which includes hands-on-wheel and eyes-on-road automated driving using lane centering with adaptive cruise control. The system uses multiple sensors, including radar and cameras, to determine appropriate roads for the technology. Hands-free Driving Assist is Level 2+ automated driving capability and offers hands-off driving at all speeds and lane centering on approved roadways.
More than 100 active and passive safety and security features are available.
