Also, the 2025 Ram's new STLA platform introduces an innovative specialized chassis frame, complemented by a dual-motor system that delivers up to 654 horsepower distributed across both axles.

So from the rugged work vehicles of the 80s to the luxurious and technologically advanced models of today, the RAM 1500 has come a long and impressive way. Which RAM 1500 generation do you think was the most revolutionary and who are its biggest competitors?
