If you are looking for a truck that has the ruggedness enough for the Hudson River Valley and the capability to get the job done for you in Hyde Park, then there is no better option than a 2025 Ram 1500. These trucks are built to last, with a build that can stand up to the conditions of this scenic region of New York State. With an expansive choice of cab styles, powertrains, bed sizes, and trim levels, the Ram 1500 gives you the ability to choose one that will work best for you, regardless of whether you plan to use your truck for work, play, or a little of both.

Along those lines, we believe the trim level that might suit Hyde Park motorists best is the Big Horn. This trim has the perfect combination of capabilities and technology to serve drivers like you well. At Ruge's Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram, we are proud to be your Ram dealer near Hyde Park; we are an authorized Ram dealer and thus boast the full lineup of Ram trucks, so you can find the 2025 Ram 1500 Big Horn for sale here when you stop in for a visit.

Exceptional Power and Capabilities

When it comes to performance, Ram has equipped the Ram 1500 Big Horn with a set of standard features, with the ability to choose an upgrade if you so desire. You can decide between a rear-wheel drivetrain for better fuel economy and a four-wheel drivetrain to give you exceptional traction on and off the road.

The standard powertrain on a Big Horn is the 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 MHEV engine paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission. This engine uses a mild hybrid system to deliver exceptional fuel economy, with RWD models able to get up to 23 MPG in combined fuel economy. This engine provides up to 305 hp at 6,400 RPM and 269 lb-ft of torque at 4,800 RPM, giving your Ram 1500 Big Horn the ability to tow up to 8,110 lbs and carry up to 2,370 lbs of cargo in its payload bed.

If you want a little more power, you can opt for the available 3.0-liter "Hurricane" Turbocharged I-6. This also comes with an 8-speed automatic transmission, delivering an impressive 420 hp at 5,200 RPM and 469 lb-ft of torque at 3,500 RPM. When equipped with this engine, your Ram 1500 Big Horn can tow an impressive 11,550 lbs.

There are other options as well on the Big Horn, letting you configure it the way that will best serve your needs. While this trim comes with a Quad Cab and a six-foot, four-inch payload box, you can choose to outfit your truck with a Crew Cab, which will give you more interior passenger space, increasing it from 117 cu.ft. to 132 cu.ft. of space. With the Crew Cab, you can also choose either the six-foot, four-inch bed box or a five-foot, seven-inch bed box.

Advanced Connectivity Technology

Ram has made getting around Hyde Park more enjoyable when you choose a 2025 Ram 1500 with the Big Horn trim. Whether you are going for a hike on the Hyde Park Trail or using your truck to help construct some of Hyde Park's newest homes, you are going to love the Uconnect 5 system on your Big Horn truck.

Each Ram 1500 Big Horn features a Uconnect 5 system with an 8.4-inch touchscreen display. This is centered in the upper dashboard, giving you and your front passenger easy access to its features. There is also an available 12-inch touchscreen display that sits vertically here instead; this is a larger interface, improving a system that was already exceptional to begin with. If you choose the larger screen, you will also get a built-in navigation system, providing you with turn-by-turn directions and TomTom Traffic & Travel Services for real-time traffic alerts. This will help you get wherever you are going in the most expeditious way possible.

No matter which system you choose, you can integrate your smartphone using Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. If you left your charging cables at home, you can still connect with Android Auto, as the Uconnect 5 has available wireless connectivity. Integrating your phone will allow you to make hands-free calls and texts. It will also give you access to your favorite apps, so you can stream your favorite music using Spotify, Pandora, Apple Music, or any other streaming app on your phone.

You are going to love streaming your own music, as the Ram 1500 Big Horn features a 6-speaker audio system that does a great job of filling your truck's cab with music. For those Hyde Park drivers who are true audiophiles, the Big Horn has an available 9-speaker audio system. This is fully amplified, with a subwoofer to capture all of the great bass tones. Imagine indulging in your personal soundtrack as you take your closest friends to Bear Mountain for a fun-filled afternoon picnic.

Excellent Driver Assistance Features

Ram has done an excellent job of equipping the 2025 Ram 1500 Big Horn with a vast array of active and passive safety and driver assistance features. This helps make the Big Horn an ideal model, especially for drivers who plan to use it for family use as well. This is a truck that you will feel safe driving your children around Hyde Park in, which is probably why Ram included a standard Rear Seat Reminder Alert on the Big Horn, so you won't forget a child who has fallen asleep on the ride.

The Big Horn's safety features start with an incredible array of airbags distributed throughout the cabin to reduce injuries in the event of a collision. An advanced multistage airbag in front shields the driver and front passengers, aided by a supplemental front seat-mounted side airbag. In the event of a side-impact collision, supplemental side-curtain airbags in front and back will shield all passengers.

This truck also has advanced driver assistance and active safety features that will help you avoid collisions while also reducing the impact of any accident. For example, on the 2025 Ram 1500 Big Horn, Full-Speed Forward Collision Warning Plus will alert you to an imminent front-end collision so you can take evasive action; this will also engage the emergency brakes to reduce any impact.

One of the most common highway accidents on the Taconic Parkway involves changing lanes. With its tight turns, the Taconic can be a challenge, especially in bad weather. Active Lane-Management System will help you stay in lane by alerting you to any drifting and using slight steering adjustments to keep your truck centered. When you go to change lanes, Blind-Spot and Cross-Path Detection will alert you to other vehicles in the adjacent lane; you can then change lanes when the system shows that the coast is clear.

Some driver assistance features also make it easier to drive. Parking a full-size pickup truck in downtown Hyde Park can be a bit of a challenge; the standard ParkSense Front and Rear Park-Assist helps you get your Ram 1500 into even the tightest parallel parking spots. Your ParkView Rear Back-Up Camera also gives you a great view behind your truck when you drive in reverse, while the Cross-Path Detection lets you know if a pedestrian or another vehicle is about to pass behind you. This will help you avoid annoying fender benders, so you won't have to worry about ruining a fun shopping trip.

The Big Horn Is Built for Busy Life

The 2025 Ram 1500 gives you so many options, especially if you choose the Big Horn trim. This truck delivers exceptional towing and hauling capability, as well as solid fuel economy stats.
