2024 RAM 1500 Tradesman

The base Tradesman trim has a 3.6-liter V-6 engine capable of putting out 305 horsepower and 269 lb-ft of torque. This is a good setup for most driving situations, and it gives you a solid towing capacity of up to 7,690 pounds. A larger V-8 engine is also available as an optional upgrade. It can churn out 395 horsepower and 410 lb-ft of torque and boosts your towing capacity to over 11,000 pounds.

Inside the cabin, you can choose between cloth and vinyl upholstery. There are two cab options for you to consider: the Quad, which has about the same amount of legroom in the second row as a compact car, and the Crew cab, which beats its rivals with expansive second-row legroom. The Crew cab is a good choice if you regularly have adult passengers riding in the back.

In terms of infotainment, the Tradesman features a 5-inch touchscreen, Bluetooth connectivity, and a six-speaker stereo. Upgrade to a larger 8.3-inch touchscreen and smartphone compatibility for more comfort. Another interesting upgrade option is the towing package. It gets you a trailer brake, a Class I hitch, and reverse trailer steering.

You can stick with the standard rear-wheel-drive version or opt for a four-wheel-drive Tradesman as part of the Warlock package. A four-wheel-drive model is a good choice if you plan on doing some off-roading, but you tend to get better towing numbers with rear-wheel-drive trucks.

2024 RAM 1500 Tradesman HFE

The Tradesman HFE includes a few additional features to give your truck a slightly more upscale feel. For example, you get 20-inch chrome alloy wheels instead of the standard 18-inch steel wheels with the Tradesman. Additionally, you benefit from a tonneau roll-up cover and side steps.

The Tradesman HFE is only available with the smaller Quad cab and the longer cargo bed. This bed measures 6 feet 4 inches in length, giving you plenty of room to carry tools and equipment for your next job. The shorter cargo bed with other trims comes in at 5 feet 7 inches long.

2024 RAM 1500 Big Horn

The Big Horn rides on 18-inch alloy wheels and gains extra storage features in the cabin. The seats are covered with cloth upholstery, and you’ll benefit from a leather-wrapped steering wheel. The rear row has a 60-40 folding mechanism that allows you to create more space for cargo while retaining at least one rear-row seat.

Opting for the Big Horn also gives you the choice between two larger touch screens: an 8.4-inch or 12-inch display. You’ll have a nine-speaker stereo, a power-adjustable driver’s seat, and a navigation system to guide you to your next destination.

2024 RAM 1500 Laramie

The Laramie trim is only available with the larger Crew cab, ensuring your passengers have loads of space to stretch out and relax. Luxury features also appear, including leather upholstery, heated and ventilated front seats, and a heated steering wheel. For added comfort, you can opt for heated and reclining rear-row seats and a 19-speaker audio system instead of the standard 10-speaker stereo.

You can add air suspension for a more relaxed ride on rough terrain. A sunroof is also on offer with the Laramie trim. In addition, there’s an advanced safety package with Stop & Go adaptive cruise control, a surround-view parking camera, and pedestrian detection, among other features.

2024 RAM 1500 Rebel

The Rebel is your go-to option if you plan on doing a lot of off-roading. It comes standard with four-wheel drive, an electronic locking rear differential, and lifted suspension to give you added clearance. You can only get the Rebel with the Crew cab and shorter cargo bed.

The Rebel also boasts several extra safety features. Among them are lane departure warning, forward automatic emergency braking, and forward collision warning. Many of the optional upgrades the Laramie offers are also available with the Rebel. The Towing package comes standard.

2024 RAM 1500 Limited Longhorn

This trim is a great choice for experiencing luxury in the Crew cab. The standard features include heated and reclining second-row seats, a 12-inch touch screen, and a navigation system. You’ll also benefit from 20-inch alloy wheels, a power tailgate, and a spray-in bed liner. The side steps make entering and exiting the truck easier for you and your passengers.

2024 RAM 1500 Limited

The Limited trim gains the V-8 engine, air suspension, and power-adjustable side steps. Like the Limited Longhorn, this trim is only available with the Crew cab. Further standard features include premium leather seats, a 12-inch touch screen, and wireless device charging. Optional features you can add include adaptive cruise control and an automatic parking system.

The one remaining trim is the range-topping TRX. It’s the only one to gain the added power from the supercharged V-8 engine, which produces an eye-watering 702 horsepower.
