How To Save Big On Brand New Ram 1500's
Ever since the second generation Dodge Ram debuted in 1994 and was popularized by the movie Twister, it's been a run-away sales success. The new fifth generation Rams explode expectations of what a full-size truck can be. Ram has a number of impressive incentives on 1500's right now; you might be able to get an amazing price on a brand new truck.
The 2025 Ram 1500 clinches a 10/10 review and the top truck spot from Car and Driver. The fifth generation Ram now starts at $40,275 msrp for the 1500 Tradesman 4x2 model, which includes four real doors (not an extended cab) and the 305 hp Pentastar V6, bumping up to $44,125 msrp for 4x4. Indeed, there is no Ram regular cab model, so you will always get a back seat. The Ram 1500 Big Horn starts at $45,230 msrp in 4x2 guise, and is one of the more popular Rams on the road today, with 4x4 starting at $49,080 msrp.
Ram 1500s now have an optional twin-turbo “Hurricane” inline-six motor for an extra $2,695. Due to popular demand, the HEMI motor is back as an option for 2026, despite having slightly less power than the Hurricane high output motor. Big Horn offers an LED trailer hitch light, leather wrapped steering wheel, chrome grille and bumpers, navigation screen, 18 inch aluminum wheels, and a host of interior options. Stepping up to Laramie adds heated and ventilated leather 10-way power seats and dual zone automatic climate control, and a 9 speaker Alpine premium audio system.
Luxury Ram trims include the Limited and Limited Longhorn, $76,445 msrp, which is basically a Rolls Royce pickup truck, with interiors dripping in real wood, leather, and metal trim. A 19-speaker Harmon Kardon premium audio system is sure to be heard from the next city, and there is an available four corner active air level suspension, available 22 inch wheels, heads up display, and a 12 inch digital cluster. Other trims available in between include the sport-trim Rebel, $64,440 msrp, Laramie at $60,030 msrp, RHO $69,995 msrp, and the top of the line Tungsten, $87,320 msrp.
Across the range, the 1500’s tech story is a major differentiator: you can spec over two feet of combined screens, tap five selectable drive modes, and option advanced aids up to hands-free highway driving on approved roads. Pair those touches with practical features like the multifunction tailgate and you get a truck that’s as well sorted for commuting and road trips as it is for towing and weekend projects.
Stellantis recently changed up its Ram offers due to all the tariff hubbub; 2025 Ram 1500 has a whopping 10% below MSRP offer on select vehicles in dealer stock for the end of the 2025 model year, plus get $4,000 bonus cash allowance when financing select dealer inventory with Sport Appearance Package. There is also 0% APR for 72 month deal on any 2025 Ram 1500. Lease deals include $399 a month for 42 months with $4,259 down at signing on Ram Tradesman 1500 Crew Cab 4x4. Check your local Ram dealer for best incentives as they do vary by region. Cast a wide net using the dealer inventory tool and compare multiple stores within a reasonable driving radius; despite national promotions, not all dealers price the same, and some will be more aggressive on in-stock colors or option packages. Ask every store for an out-the-door price that includes taxes and fees, and be selective about add-ons like paint protection, VIN etching, maintenance packages, and extra alarm systems—polite declines on extras can save hundreds or even thousands.
