If you’re in the market for a full-size pickup that combines serious capability with refined daily-driver comfort, you can’t go wrong with the 2025 Ram 1500. Instead of the traditional leaf-spring rear suspension found on most trucks, the Ram features a standard multi-link setup for a smoother, more composed ride. Meanwhile, a spacious, well-appointed cabin that can be outfitted with luxury touches such as climate-controlled massaging seats makes it feel more like a high-end SUV than a rugged work truck.

Robust Muscle

The Ram 1500 is a serious performer with either of its three burly engines. You’ll be glad to know that the standard 305-HP 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 gives you class-leading hauling strength, boasting a hefty 2,370-pound payload rating. And with its 8,110-pound towing capacity, most jobs should be a breeze for this power plant. What’s more, this award-winning engine gets up to 25 MPG on the highway to ensure you’re not sacrificing fuel economy for capability.

For those who demand heavy-duty pulling power, the robust 3.0-liter twin-turbo Hurricane straight-six pushes out up to 420 HP with up to 469 pound-feet of torque so you can tow nearly 12,000 pounds! The final engine is a high-output version of the twin-turbo straight-six and is reserved for the unhinged off-road monster that is the Ram RHO. It generates a staggering 540 HP and 521 lb-ft of torque, sending this beast to 60 in just 4.6 seconds!

Smooth On-Road Manners

The Ram 1500 is widely recognized as the best-riding pickup in the game, and for good reason. As mentioned, it comes standard with a multi-link rear suspension for a supple, composed ride. The available air suspension enhances ride comfort further while also improving the truck’s handling stability and off-roading capability by adjusting the vehicle’s height accordingly. Add to that an effortlessly smooth 8-speed automatic and a responsive rack-and-pinion steering setup, and you have a full-size pickup with refined road manners.

Otherworldly Off-Road Capability

The Ram 1500 comes with four-wheel drive, a locking differential, and a host of other available off-road features to ensure you can work or play on any terrain. The Ram RHO, however, takes that capability to the next level with serious hardware such as bead lock wheels, 35-inch all-terrain tires, an off-road suspension with the Bilstein Black Hawk Shock System, a two-speed differential, a high-speed electronic heavy-duty locking differential, underbody skid plates, and more!

Premium Cabin

The Ram 1500 complements its superior ride comfort with a well-crafted interior that caters to your creature comforts. It can feature all sorts of luxurious amenities, including quilted leather upholstery with genuine wood and carbon fiber accents, heated and ventilated seats with massage and memory, a 14.5-inch infotainment touchscreen, a 10.3-inch passenger infotainment system, a 23-speaker Klipsch audio system, wireless charging, and more!

The 2025 Jeep Wrangler remains true to the fourth-generation JL design in most major features. Jeep did make some interesting updates and options that draw attention to this iconic off-road-ready ride. Criswell Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram FIAT in Gaithersburg, MD, offers a look at five fresh updates that make the 2025 Wrangler worth a closer look.

1. Power Windows

Every new 2025 Wrangler comes equipped with power windows. Through 2024, Jeep was the last remaining car manufacturer to offer crank windows on some base models. However, those days are now in the past. That’s right, we’ve said farewell to the last of the new vehicles to come standard with crank windows on a base model.  

2. New Paint Options

Jeeps are known for their customization options, and that starts with the paint for many customers. Fathom Blue and ’41 green enter as new additions to the permanent color line-up. The former is a drab olive green that pays tribute to the original 1941 Jeeps. It’s a great choice on the Willys trim for those looking to create a classic Jeep look.

There are also two special edition colors for the 2025 model year. Mojito is a vibrant lime green, reminiscent of the limes in its namesake summer cocktail. Joose is a bold orange. Either color option is sure to make your Jeep stand out on or off the road.

3. Manual 6-Speed Transmission

Jeep continues honoring its rugged traditions with a return to a standard manual transmission. A manual transmission gives you a little extra control in tough, off-road conditions, making it a great choice for the Wrangler. If manually shifting gears isn’t in your wheelhouse, you can still pair the 4-cylinder, V8, or plug-in hybrid Wrangler with an 8-speed automatic.

4. Cabin Pre-Cooling

Jeep brings Active Cabin Ventilation as an option on some Wrangler models to ensure you stay cool no matter where you go. This innovative tech allows you to remotely pre-chill the cabin with an app.

5. The Rubicon 392 Returns

Despite the 2024 Final Edition marking the end of this Rubicon trim level, the model is giving an encore performance for 2025. Powered by a 6.4-liter V8, you’ll feel the power of an impressive 470 horsepower. This Rubicon can tow 3,500 pounds, too, making it a great choice for pulling minimalist overland campers or bringing side-by-sides and boats to remote locations.  

The 2025 Wrangler is a rugged and recognizable off-road vehicle. Several new features, options, adn refinements make it a must-see for adventure seekers. Chriswell has a great selection of 2- and 4-door Wranglers in stock and ready to drive home. Visit Chriswell Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram FIAT in Gaithersburg, MD, to see the 2025 Jeep Wrangler lineup.

Heated driver and passenger mirrors give you an unobscured view of what’s happening behind, too.

Loading up is easy with a power liftgate that lets you hit the road fast, and anti-lock brakes and stability control with anti-rollover come in handy if you hit a rough patch of terrain. Everything is tailored to give you the best driving experience and allow you to relax and enjoy every moment of it.

3. State-of-the-Art Interior

As rugged as these vehicles are on the outside, they’re completely modern inside with heated and ventilated driver and passenger seats that you can adjust fourteen different ways for precision comfort. You’ll also enjoy the voice-activated automatic dual-zone front air conditioning for the perfect temperature, and ample interior space, including a locking glove box for your valuables.

4. Superb Safety Features

From built-in features like multiple airbags in the front and rear, to high-tech ones like Blind Spot Detection Warning and Full Speed Forward Collision Warning, you can enjoy a stress-free ride. These vehicles also come with ParkSense front, rear, and side parking sensors, which are great for navigating more congested city streets and squeezing into that tight parking spot easily.
