A Look at Some of the 2025 RAM 1500’s Best Features

As your go-to dealership to find the Ram 1500 for sale near Independence, we here at Dan Cummins CDJR of Georgetown are happy to let you know about all of the latest news about this capable pickup truck. Because Ram isn’t content to simply make a good truck and let it roll along unchanged year after year, the dedicated engineers who make these incredible works of machinery are constantly innovating, working to make your driving experience even better.

If you want an example, you need look no further than the 2025 Ram 1500. The upgrades the 1500 has received for this model year run the gamut from more modern tech inside the cabin to powerful new engines available under the hood. If you’re interested in getting behind the wheel of this new-and-improved truck, then you’ve come to the right place. You don’t even have to take the drive south to Georgetown to learn about all the features this pickup brings to the table: we’re going to let you know about them right here, right now.

Powerful and Efficient Engines

Before we get to the comfort and convenience upgrades, we’re going to start with the real substance: the powertrain lineup. Independence drivers need a truck that’s highly versatile. You want a powerful engine that’s going to make it easy to pass slow-moving vehicles on rural roads and allow you to tow anything from camping gear to ATVs to horses. But on the other hand, you can’t deny the value of efficiency. There are all kinds of places you can explore around Independence, from the gorgeous natural wonders of Kentucky to exciting cities like Cincinnati, Lexington, Louisville, and Indianapolis. Going on a long drive should be a fun adventure, and it can turn from fun to stressful real quick if you have to spend an arm and a leg on gas just to keep the journey going.

The new Hurricane lineup of engines lets you have your cake and eat it too, with options that are both more powerful and more efficient than the ones that came before. The base engine remains the same: a 305-hp 3.6L V6 that works as hard as you do so you can tackle hard jobs. But instead of a 5.7L V8 that produces 395 hp, you’ll now find a more efficient 3.0L Hurricane I6 that produces up to 420 hp and 469 lb-ft of torque. For even more power, you can opt for the high-output version of this engine, which ups those figures to 540 hp and 521 lb-ft of torque.

Properly equipped, the 2025 Ram 1500 can deliver impressive capability stats, like a 11,560-pound towing capacity, a 2,300-lb payload capacity, and the ability to ford up to 24 inches of water. Whether you’re using your truck for work or play, that capability can come in handy, and it’s even sweeter when it doesn’t come at the expense of fuel economy. The 2025 Ram 1500 lineup is also more diverse than ever before, thanks to the introduction of the Ram 1500 Ramcharger (a plug-in hybrid) and the Ram 1500 REV (a fully electric version of the truck). With three traditional gas-powered engines plus these other variants to choose from, you have the freedom to get exactly the truck you’re looking for.

New Variants Provide Capability and Luxury

When you’re getting hard work done day in and day out, you deserve a little luxury alongside capability. That’s why Ram has added an all-new top-level trim to the lineup: the Ram 1500 Tungsten. Sitting above the Limited and Longhorn trims, the Tungsten has even more to love, from 22-inch aluminum wheels that are sure to catch eyes (and might even turn a few green with envy) to a quilted-leather interior that will make you and all your passengers feel right at home no matter how far you roam. You can stay comfortable no matter what the Kentucky weather throws at you, with seats that have heating and cooling capabilities. Those seats are also 24-way adjustable so you can get your position just to your liking and they even have a massage feature to help you relax on your way home from a busy day.

If you’re feeling adventurous, you can celebrate your independence from paved roads behind the wheel of the all-new Ram 1500 RHO. This variant is replacing the outgoing Ram 1500 TRX, and it has similar rugged styling backed up by capable features and specialty equipment, like a long-travel suspension system that lets you handle rocky ground without feeling every bump in your bones. If you don’t want to go all-in on off-road capability but still want some extra precautions for tackling unpaved roads around Kentucky, you can opt for the returning Rebel trim instead.

Mobile Power at Your Disposal, Wherever the Journey Takes You

The 2025 Ram 1500 can be had with two available 110-volt power outlets that can be used whether the truck is on or off. No matter how you use your truck in Independence and beyond, you can probably make use of this feature, which can power lights on a dark campground, tools on a construction site, speakers at a tailgate party, and more. You can even use it to power your home in case of an emergency, so you can always be prepared.

Upgraded Tech Throughout the Cabin

Just because this truck has plenty of brawn doesn’t mean it lacks brains. Inside, you’ll find a state-of-the-art infotainment system that can help you stay informed, connected, and entertained while cruising along KY-17 or I-75. While the 2024 model came standard with an 8.4-inch touchscreen, the 2025 model comes standard with a 12-inch screen on even the lowest trim level and has an available 14.5-inch screen that makes it even easier to read important info at a glance. On top of that, there’s a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster behind the wheel that puts the most important things right within the driver’s line of sight.

If you’re driving in bad weather or on unfamiliar roads that aren’t in great condition, you might want directions and warnings to be even harder to miss. That’s where the available 10-inch full-color head-up display comes in handy, projecting information right onto the lower windshield, so you can take it in without taking your eyes off the road even for a second.

Beyond the basics, Ram also has some unique features that put the 1500 a cut above its competitors. In addition to screens for the driver, there’s also an available 10.25-inch passenger screen that can let your shotgun passenger see navigation directions, check the exterior camera views, access entertainment, and more, bringing road trips and even simple errand runs to the next level.

The 2025 Ram 1500 also gives you the option to get a dual wireless phone charging pad, so both you and your front passenger can power up your devices without getting tangled up in easy-broken cables. Both of these features are class-exclusive, because Ram is dedicated to bringing you cutting-edge tech alongside tough construction, powerful engines, and reliable quality.

Finally, the 2025 Ram 1500 is introducing a hands-free active driving assist feature that’s like cruise control but more advanced. Long stretches of road can get tiring after a while, and we all know that being tired behind the wheel can be a dangerous thing. With this available Active Drive Assist, you can relax as the truck automatically stays centered in its lane and maintains a safe following distance from the vehicles ahead. You’ll still have to keep your eyes on the road, but your arms and ankles can take a breather while the high-tech sensors, cameras, and radar systems on board take care of the grunt work.

The New 2025 Ram 1500 Is Well-Rounded and Ready for Anything

Independence is a unique city that has so much to offer. Its location in the heart of Kenton County lets residents enjoy a quiet, rural lifestyle without being too far from the culture and amenities of nearby big cities, like Cincinnati and Lexington. If you’re looking for a truck that’s just as well-rounded as your amazing community, then you can’t go wrong with a 2025 Ram 1500.

No matter which trim you choose, you’ll be getting a truck that can handle just about anything, whether you’re in the middle of a big city or out under the open Kentucky sky. While there are certainly plenty of great new features to celebrate, some things will always stay the same, like Ram’s commitment to building tough trucks that are perfect for Americans who want to grab life by the horns.
