Standout Features and Configurations

There’s much to be said about the 2024 Ram 1500 features, with its eight trim levels engineered to offer the best blend of power and performance. Pick the Crew Cab models and enjoy the active air dam that automatically extends 2.5 inches to reduce the truck’s drag and improve efficiency. Other features include an elevated hood design for optimized aerodynamics. For something extra daring, the 2024 Ram 1500 Night Edition is available for five of the eight trims, featuring striking all-black accents for the front grille, interior, and wheels.

The 2024 Ram 1500 Rebel is luxuriously off-roadable. With 33-inch tires, a lifted suspension, front and rear performance-tuned shock absorbers, and a 1-inch raised ride height, it’s designed to maintain a consistent speed across all terrains. The available Selec-Speed Control handles torque and brake pressure to maintain a consistent speed. For luxury at its finest, the Ram 1500 Limited comes at a premium with Black Onyx chrome, an available dual-pane panoramic sunroof, and an available 900-watt, 19-speaker Harman Kardon premium audio system that’s suitably impressive.

12,750 Maximum Towing Capacity

One of the biggest call-outs of the 2024 Ram 1500 is its unmatched 12,750-pound maximum towing capacity, available when you choose the all-powerful 5.7-liter HEMI V-8 engine with eTorque. This remarkable towing capability allows you to tackle a wide range of towing tasks easily—whether hauling a heavy trailer for work purposes or heading off on a weekend away. The 3.6L Pentastar V-6 engine with eTorque also offers a best-in-class payload capacity of up to 2,300 pounds.

To make towing even easier, choose the available multifunction tailgate with 60/40 split swing-away doors that open 88 degrees, even with a trailer on the back. With dual functionality, it can fold flat to 180 degrees and hold up to 2,000 pounds of cargo weight. The included trailer hitch light — a standard feature — provides clear and hands-free visibility of your trailer hitch, even in low-light conditions.

Trailer Reverse Steering Control System

In the 2024 Ram 1500, the available Trailer Reverse Steering Control System is an absolute game-changer for anyone who’s ever experienced the challenge of backing up a truck with a trailer. This innovative feature takes the stress out of trailer maneuvering by allowing you to take control using a trailer steering knob while the system manages the truck’s steering wheel. It’s a seamless and intuitive solution that simplifies the often-tricky process of reversing with a trailer.

Three Available Engines

The 2024 Ram 1500 comes with three available engines to suit you.

The 5.7L HEMI V-8 Engine With eTorque

The 5.7L HEMI V-8 engine with eTorque seamlessly blends performance and efficiency, delivering a reasonable 395 horsepower. What sets this engine apart is its Mild Hybrid Technology system that can boost 130 lb-ft of torque on top of its standard 410 lb-ft. An astonishing 12,750-pound maximum towing capacity ensures it provides a robust performance on the road and a best-in-class towing capacity.

The 3.6L Pentastar V-6 Engine With eTorque

The 2024 Ram 1500 also offers the choice of a punchy 3.6L Pentastar V-6 engine with eTorque. It’s packed with advanced technologies and innovations, such as a two-step variable valve lift and wide-range variable valve timing to deliver peak power performance. With 305 horsepower, 273 lb-ft of torque, and a maximum towing capacity of 7,730 pounds, the V-6 is a compelling choice for those seeking a capable and versatile truck that can handle various tasks.

The Supercharged 6.2L HEMI V-8 Engine

Exclusively available on the Ram 1500 TRX, the legendary Supercharged 6.2L HEMI V-8 engine is the most potent factory-installed option. With a jaw-dropping acceleration of zero to 60 mph in just 4.5 seconds, it’s a force to be reckoned with. Boasting best-in-class horsepower at a staggering 702, along with 650 lb-ft of torque, it delivers an unmatched level of power and performance. Its robust build is designed to withstand a firing pressure of 1,595 psi, almost 20,000 pounds of force.

Cabin Comfort

One of the most noteworthy parts about Ram is that while it prioritizes power and function, it doesn’t compromise cabin comfort. While the engine and multilink rear suspension do the work to ensure a smooth ride overall, the interior does the same to keep passengers cocooned inside the vehicle no matter the terrain.

You can look forward to creature comforts, such as power and heated front seats with available memory foam and massage functionalities. The added luxury of leather seats and a leather steering wheel are available on the Rebel and Laramie trims. The 12-inch Uconnect 5 NAV touch-screen infotainment system is ideal for keeping you connected and entertained while on the move, offering particularly handy tow-specific navigation support.
