Ram 1500 Tradesman

The Tradesman is your no-nonsense work truck starting at $40,275. This basic pickup packs a 3.6-liter V-6 with 305 horsepower and 269 lb-ft of torque — plenty for jobs around Bradenton. Without upgrades, it hauls up to 2,360 pounds in the bed and tows as much as 7,680 pounds. The inside is built for work, with standard vinyl seats that can easily handle muddy boots and gear. You also get an 8.4-inch Uconnect 5 screen and blind spot monitors. It’s perfect if you need dependable capability without fancy extras.

Ram 1500 Tradesman HFE

The Tradesman HFE starts at $41,060. This trim has aerodynamic tweaks and low rolling-resistance tires that improve fuel efficiency. It’s only available in rear-wheel drive, but you’ll get up to 20 mpg city and 26 mpg highway. In addition to the Tradesman’s tech features, this trim also comes with a Mopar roll-up tonneau cover for the bed, 20-inch chrome wheels, and wheel-to-wheel side steps. Overall, the Tradesman HFE is great for road trips and long-distance work drives.

Ram 1500 Lone Star

The Lone Star, also known as the Ram 1500 Big Horn, trim can be yours for $45,230 and packs a 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6. It features a leather-wrapped steering wheel and a chrome grille surround. You can also choose the available Sport Appearance Package or Night Edition for a blacked-out look.

Ram 1500 Warlock

The Warlock is tuned for off-road performance and starts at $54,505. It packs a 3.0-liter Hurricane twin-turbo engine with 420 horsepower and 469 lb-ft of torque. You’ll get blacked-out styling, an all-black interior, a 1-inch lift, performance shocks, and underbody skid plates.

Ram 1500 Laramie

The Laramie starts at $60,030. It has a good balance of luxury features and useful tech. You get the same 3.0-liter twin-turbo engine as the Warlock, giving you more power than the base models. This trim has leather seats that can heat or cool and a 12-inch touch screen for maps and music. You may also like the available RamBox storage system that’ll keep your tools and beach gear organized. If you want power and comfort, the Laramie is a good choice.

Ram 1500 Rebel

The Rebel is another trim designed for off-road trails. This model comes with the 3.0-liter Hurricane engine for extra power. Off-road features include an electronic locking rear axle, standard four-wheel drive, performance-tuned shocks, and skid plates. The black grille matches its rugged capability. Starting at $64,440, this truck is perfect for tackling sand, mud, and rocks throughout Florida’s parks.

Ram 1500 RHO

Beginning at $69,995, the RHO gets the High-Output Hurricane engine that cranks out 540 horsepower and 521 lb-ft of torque. This setup lets you hit 0 to 60 mph in 4.6 seconds, tow 8,380 pounds, and carry 1,520 pounds. In this performance-oriented model, you’ll also get BILSTEIN BlackHawk e2 shocks.

Ram 1500 Limited

Premium leather, real wood trim, ambient lighting, and massaging front seats create a premium feel.

Ram 1500 Limited Longhorn

The Limited Longhorn brings Western style to your luxury truck. This trim takes the Limited’s features and adds cowboy flair with special interior detailing. You can get this model for $76,445.
