“Great truck, not a fan of the Etorque. I hate the auto off and on feature—I disable it most of the time.”
2024 Ram 1500: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The 2024 Ram 1500 is a light trim-update year, led by the limited-production TRX Final Edition and its richer standard cabin technology and driver-assistance equipment. Most of the truck carries over ahead of the updated 2025 model.
About the 2024 Ram 1500
5th generation (introduced for 2019), last model year before the 2025 mid-cycle refresh
Ram positioned the 1500 as a full-size pickup balancing work capability with an unusually comfortable ride and upscale cabin. Its coil-spring rear suspension, spacious four-door interiors, luxury equipment, and wide spread of work, off-road, and high-performance trims distinguished it from more narrowly focused rivals. Depending on trim and configuration, it served as a jobsite truck, family vehicle, trail truck, luxury pickup, or extreme-performance off-roader.
The 2024 lineup runs from the straightforward Tradesman and everyday-comfort Big Horn to the leather-equipped Laramie, Western-themed Limited Longhorn, and technology-focused Limited. Rebel emphasizes off-road hardware, while the TRX and TRX Final Edition pair a 702-hp supercharged V8 with adaptive off-road shocks and 12-inch displays.

Tech

Frequently asked questions
What is the biggest change to the 2024 Ram 1500?
The biggest change is the limited-production TRX Final Edition. It keeps the regular TRX's 702-hp supercharged V8 and off-road hardware but adds more standard cabin technology, comfort features, and driver-assistance equipment.
Does the 2024 Ram 1500 still have a diesel option?
No. For 2024, the diesel option was dropped from the Big Horn, Laramie, Limited, and Lone Star trims.
How is the 2024 Ram 1500 TRX Final Edition different from the regular TRX?
The TRX Final Edition adds a richer set of standard equipment. Highlights include 19-speaker premium audio, eight-way power front seats, a head-up display, a camera-based rearview mirror, carbon-fiber cabin trim, and expanded driver-assistance features.
Was the Ram 1500 Laramie Longhorn discontinued for 2024?
No. The Laramie Longhorn continued for 2024 under the Limited Longhorn name rather than being replaced by a separate new trim.
Is the 2024 Ram 1500 substantially different from the 2023 model?
No. The 2024 truck is largely a carryover. Beyond the TRX Final Edition, the diesel departures, the Limited Longhorn rename, and a few equipment-status revisions, the core fifth-generation lineup remains much the same.
2024 Ram 1500 Reviews
What owners are saying about the 2024 Ram 1500.
4.2
2024 Ram 1500
(84 reviews)
“Flat bed and cool air on the seats is nice. Tons of room in the back, sits up high and feels safe, great for families wanting to feel safe.”
“Ram 1500 is great, however V6 with 3:21 rear is an odd match, won't hold 8th gear on highway with any slight inclines. That was my old 2021. My new one 2024 I made sure it has 3:55 rear, holds 8th gear a lot better on highway. They should only option it with 3:55. The 3:21 is always downshifting and gets the same gas mileage. I have owned both, so I speak from experience.”
