Work trucks like the Ram 1500 Tradesman drive the economy of the Twin Ports area. They work hard to plow the driveways and parking lots during winter. They also are there to inspect your home, replace your roof, work on your lawn, and complete many other tasks.
In a recent article by MotorTrend, the editor called the 2025 Ram 1500 Tradesman—our work truck—a “life hack.” What does that even mean? Certainly, all you need are the basics. While pickup truck customers are attracted to fancier trims with leather interiors, power steps, and so forth—and there are 2025 Ram 1500 trim levels that have everything you can dream of—the 2025 Ram 1500 Tradesman represents a value-for-money pickup truck that gives you what you need at a price that does not break the budget. It also has the latest engineering and technology that lets you do your work safely and securely.
The outlet received a Tradesman in the Crew Cab configuration with the six-foot four-inch box with four-wheel drive. It is powered by the Standard Output version of the Hurricane 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged inline six-cylinder engine, putting down 420 horsepower and 469 pound-feet of torque. This configuration is specified with a payload of 1,620 pounds and a maximum tow rating of 11,310 pounds.

The 2025 Ram 1500 Tradesman is a hard-working truck that offers the basics. It provides up to six seats inside the Crew Cab and has standard air conditioning, power windows, and door locks. If you don’t need the center seat up front, fold the seatback down for an armrest, cupholders, and some stowage.
As it reviewed the pickup truck, MotorTrend pointed out that the 2025 Ram 1500 Tradesman uses coil springs at the rear axle. According to the article, “As a result, it handles impacts just as comfortably with a bed full of air as it does with 1,600 pounds of compost in the back. The smooth and settled ride—along with the tranquil cabin—is one of the key reasons we think this work truck could realistically be used as a personal or family vehicle.”

It also remarked how quiet this 2025 Ram 1500 Tradesman was thanks to a quieter engine and better sound insulation throughout. A quiet work truck? You can live with that. The 2025 Ram 1500 Tradesman is available in Quad Cab with the six-foot four-inch box and Crew Cab with both the five-foot seven-inch and six-foot four-inch boxes.
The point of the “life hack” idea is simple: You can get a very capable pickup truck—with the upgraded Standard Output Hurricane twin-turbocharged inline six-cylinder engine and four-wheel drive—at a great value. The Tradesman is not just for businesses, but for you who use a pickup truck every day to take the kids to school or to head up the North Shore for a camping trip.
