The 2024 Ram 1500 is available in the following different trims: Tradesman, Big Horn, Laramie, Rebel, Limited Longhorn, and Limited — and numerous configurations, including Crew Cab, Regular Cab with truck beds that range from 5’7” to 6’4”. The Ram 1500 offers a choice between a 305-hp 3.6-liter V-6 and a 395-hp 5.7-liter V-8 gasoline powertrain, seamlessly paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission. Both engines benefit from a 48-volt hybrid system, although the 5.7-liter Hemi V-8 is also available without electric support. For enthusiasts seeking adventure, the robust Rebel model presents a more rugged appearance and genuine off-road capabilities. The exceptional ride quality of every Ram 1500 is owed to its rear suspension, utilizing standard coil springs or optional air springs, a departure from the conventional leaf-spring configuration found in domestic competitors. Models equipped with air suspension even offer an adjustable ride height, contributing to improved fuel efficiency and off-road performance.
What’s New for 2024?
Ram didn’t introduce substantial changes to the Ram 1500 for the 2024 model year, possibly in anticipation of the noteworthy updates slated for the 2025 model. It’s worth noting that Ram discontinued the availability of the diesel powertrain for the 1500, retracting the option initially offered on early 2023 models.

Within the Ram 1500, practical cubby stowage and expansive passenger space create an exceptionally functional interior.

Reflecting the typical spaciousness characteristic of full-size pickup trucks, the Ram 1500’s crew cab provides ample room. Furthermore, the interior is abundant in storage options, complemented by a distinctive split-folding tailgate. Both the five-foot-seven-inch and six-foot-four-inch cargo beds are available, though the extended-cab body style exclusively pairs with the latter.
