What is the difference between the 2024 and 2025 Ram 1500?

While there isn't a ton of difference between the 2026 and 2026 1500s, there's a pretty big difference between the 2026 and 2026 models. The 2026 redesign of Ram 1500 is coming. Will you be among the first to put your hands one? Let's run down all the differences between these two pickup trucks so you know what you're getting into.

First up, the rear tailgate is gone. So is the backup camera. Also missing are the backup sensors and lights, plus air suspension from the previous-generation Ram HD. The new Ram 2500 will also be missing those features.

The 2026 redesign has other new pieces, though, like a newly redesigned instrument cluster, new HVAC controls, and a redesigned headrest in the third row. There are no new safety and tech features, either. The truck's standard equipment includes a blind spot system, park assist, reverse sensing, backup sensors, rear cross traffic alert, a back-up camera, and auto emergency braking.

Also like the 2026 Ram, the 2026 Jeep Gladiator pickup is getting a long list of updates and changes too. Check out our Jeep Gladiator pickup review for more information on what's new, as well as pricing details, and a few updates to be aware of on the inside.

Ram 2500: A Few Changelog Details. 2026 Ram 2500 and 3500 Prices, Release Date. Ram said the new Ram 2500 and 3500 will go on sale early 2026. The base trim levels were leaked back in May, but a complete list of all trim and engine packages was revealed in September. 2026 Ram 2500 Engine Performance. The 3.0-liter EcoDiesel six-cylinder offers 252 hp and 762 lb-ft of torque. Its power will come exclusively from regular pump fuel, unlike the previous Cummins 6-71 6.7-liter Power Wagon with up to 600 hp. It also uses diesel direct injection and variable-speed turbocharger rather than the twin turbochargers on the previous Power Wagon.0-liter EcoTec four-cylinder makes 240 hp and 709 lb-ft of torque.

What's new for Ram in 2024?

It's anyone's guess, but there are a few things we can be certain about: He is going to be 30 (or close to it), he is going to have a new contract, and he will not be returning to Ram.

Let's take a deeper look into what to expect in his final year. He'll still be able to run inside. The Chargers' starting offensive line isn't known for their power runs (unless you consider Melvin Gordon a power back). But the truth of the matter is the Chargers still have enough space to make holes for him. We need to be mindful of when to stop feeding Gordon, as if any team has done that it would be the Chargers.

That also means Antonio Gates should still play, because he hasn't shown any real signs of age. That doesn't mean he's the greatest route-runner the world has ever seen (although he'd probably be in contention for the title), but he has some decent short range moves. His biggest tool is the quickness he has to avoid the jam. If you force him to wait on an extra block, he will be able to shake it off to the sideline or the tight end before that extra blocker makes his way there. But you don't want him waiting too long. He also has the patience of a cobra.

This was the most obvious point for anyone watching the Chargers over the last month: The Chargers would run Gordon out of the backfield and set up Gates in the slot -- in other words, they were doing the exact same thing we've been seeing for years. He simply hasn't played up to his previous standard, but they don't care what a guy like that looks like. They feed the Beast, and they know he will find the hole.

San Diego will rely on the "trips" a lot. The Chargers were able to push around teams by using the wide receiver in a role we would normally see the running back. And they did it because there wasn't another running back on the roster with similar ability. So yes, Melvin Gordon is better suited to receiving routes than running them, but he can still catch out of the backfield, thanks to his speed.

But why have both? Running backs should be expected to carry the ball, period.

Will the 2025 Ram 1500 be redesigned?

2024 ram 1500 redesign date 2023

If you've been paying attention to automotive news recently, you may have noticed a few reports hinting at a possible redesigned 2026 Ram 1500 pickup. And it wouldn't be surprising at all if that redesign is going to show up in the 2026 model year. The truck is set to go on sale sometime in the first quarter of 2026 and already has been available for months, so it wouldn't be the first time a new design was introduced on a truck.

The most recent hints about the redesign came from Auto Express who pointed to a possible new vehicle at a recent presentation by Ram at the 2026 SEMA Show. The publication also has an exclusive picture of a prototype truck.

It should be noted that the company hasn't confirmed anything, but we know that there are numerous changes coming for the 2026 model year. The company plans on introducing a new engine lineup for the truck and will add a new level of luxury to the pickup as well. We're expecting these changes in early 2026.

If you're wondering about the rumors about the redesign of the truck, we should note that a redesigned version of the truck isn't necessarily a new model, but rather the redesign could be part of a new platform. That being said, let's take a look at some of the most recent changes that could be coming to the truck. The engine lineup. While there are rumors that the truck could come with a 3.6-liter V6 EcoDiesel, there are more options on the table for the engine lineup. The Cummins 6.7-liter V8 is currently the only engine offered for the truck, but it will soon be joined by the 3.0-liter EcoDiesel six cylinder. The larger V6 diesel will be able to get up to 30 miles per gallon highway and will offer an estimated 5,200 lb-ft of torque.

The 3.0-liter EcoDiesel will likely debut as the top-of-the-line trim for the truck. It will be an option for the standard Power Wagon model and is expected to get around 250 horsepower. The EcoDiesel trim will likely feature a six-speed automatic transmission and would get about 30 miles per gallon highway. The 3.0-liter will also be paired with the 6.
