2025 Ram 1500 Tungsten or Tungsten with Off Road Package your thoughts?

[awmp]

Going to test drive a Tungsten with the Off Road package, I did not even know it was that package until I saw the sticker. Thoughts on the differences between a regular Tungsten and one with the Off Road Package?

I know the Off Road has skid plates etc, was curious if there is any difference in ride, performance, etc?

Check the payload sticker. Does it meet your needs? Guessing it may be under 1,000#.

Did not think to check that, not a big concern and I know it has a rear locker too.

Also it sits higher and has heavy duty shocks

I have and don’t notice a difference in ride. I did remove the bedside stickers.

Where the stickers difficult to remove? That would be my first event. What color is your truck?

No slightly warmed up with a hair dryer and peeled off. Cleaned off residual glue and waxed /polish area.
Tri-color Pearl White.

Looks a lot better without the 4x4 Off Road sticker.

I have the off road package on mine. Only reason I added it when I had them build it was due to the higher ride height. I wanted to add a slightly larger e rated tire so this was the easier route. I didn’t notice a difference in drive behavior between it and my limited I had before this. The limited had air suspension as well. the off road package when included on a 1500 with air suspension adds an inch instead of the 2 inch that the package states. It sits in the off road 1 setting at normal operation.

I know you didn’t ask about this but The one thing I wish I had not gotten was whatever package that added the tow mirrors. I wanted all of the towing stuff just in case but that was a horrible idea once I finally got to drive my truck when it was delivered. The mirrors are stupidly large and impossible to see past when making a left or right turn. Especially trying to see people in a crosswalk or even smaller cars. I’ve gotten used to it now and I always make sure that I’m extra careful but it’s a horrible design on them. I personally like the older style tow mirrors even if they looked horrible.

I have The Off-Road Package on my 2022 Limited.

If Ram would have let me I would have deleted the Electronic Locking Rear Axle and add the regular Anti-Spin Differential Rear Axle.

If you are pulling a 25’ trailer out of muddy pastures then the ability to lock up the rear differential with a push of a button might be better fitted for you needs but for my Princess Pavement Crawler I would rather have the full time Posti-Trac for those rainy days pulling out of Starbucks.

Yes I can push the button to lock up the rear axel on those slippery rainy days but then I have to put down my latte.

I have no objections on the ride and I like the extra rubber with the 20” rims for all of the potholes.
