On the outside, the 2025 Ram 1500 gets bolder styling, with larger and more prominent “RAM” badging, upgraded LED headlamps on higher trims, and a new set of triple-element fog lamps. There’ll be eight different versions of the grille, trim depending, while new taillamp cluster designs include LEDs and blind-spot monitoring on some grades.
For model year 2025, Ram is splitting the 1500 lineup into three broad classes. “Core” will be all the mainstream trucks from the Tradesman trim up, while “Luxury” will see more lavish versions offered to reflect bigger expectations (and budgets) among pickup buyers. A flagship 2025 Ram 1500 Tungsten will get an enclosed front bumper and 22-inch wheels with diamond cut and painted finish. New Bighorn/Lone Star models, along with Laramie and Limited Longhorn will also add nicer trim and upgraded wheel options.
One of the big pressing questions for Ram fans has been the future of the now-discontinued 1500 TRX, and on that matter, there’s good news and bad. The downside is that Ram’s “Sport” category doesn’t include an updated TRX. Instead, there’s a new 2025 1500 RHO (alongside Warlock and Rebel) that’ll use the high-output Hurricane engine.
“TRX, we’ll put that name on the shelf for a while,” CEO Kuniskis says, “we’ll see if we do anything with that in the future.” The RHO, though, should have better handling and be less expensive than the current TRX, Kuniskis teases.
