Combining legendary Jeep power and capabilities with modern comfort and functionality, the 2025 Wagoneer is a great SUV, whether you’re commuting into the city or exploring the road less traveled.

1. Impressive Powertrain

The Wagoneer is only available with one power option for 2025, but it’s an extremely good one. At the center of the powertrain is a twin-turbo 3.0-liter Hurricane which cranks out 420 horsepower and 486 pound-feet of torque. By pairing the Hurricane with an eight-speed automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive, Jeep ensures the Wagoneer delivers speedy acceleration, outstanding performance, and fluid handling.

2. Spacious Interior

Thanks to its size, the Wagoneer boasts a roomy interior with class-leading dimensions. All eight occupants receive more hip room than in any other large SUV. Front passengers have 40.9 inches in which to stretch their legs, while those seated in the second row enjoy a best-in-segment 42.7 inches. Jeep also guarantees the comfort of third-row occupants by giving them segment-leading head, shoulder, and legroom.

3. Class-Leading Cargo Area

Even with its class-leading cabin, the Wagoneer still has the body length to house a 27.5 cubic foot trunk at the rear, the largest cargo area in the segment. You also have the option to free up more space by using the flexible seating to configure the cabin. Fold down the third-row seatbacks to extend the trunk forward, or collapse both the second and third rows to expand the cargo area to 116.7 cubic feet.

4. Outstanding Power

It’s not just the Wagoneer’s internal measurements that reign supreme. Thanks to the powertrain, this large SUV also has immense strength and the ability to tow a 6,150-pound trailer or a class-leading 10,000 pounds when equipped with available trailering packages. Combine this with a payload capacity of 1,550 pounds, and the Wagoneer has the strength to haul everything you need for family adventures.

5. Luxurious Cabin

The luxurious touches inside the leather-lined cabin mean everyone is comfortable and entertained on every journey. Heated and ventilated seats are installed at the front and come with a 12-way power adjustment, including a four-way power lumbar support. Dual-zone automatic climate control ensures the cabin stays at the optimum temperature.

Jeep’s Uconnect 5 NAV infotainment system gives you a 10.1-inch touchscreen with built-in navigation, voice recognition, and wireless smartphone compatibility. Together with the 10-speaker audio setup, the infotainment system has everything you need to keep everyone entertained.

From its impressive powertrain to its feature-rich cabin, the new Wagoneer commands attention. If you’re ready to explore the rest of what this three-row SUV has to offer, visit Chriswell CDJR of Thurmont in Thurmont, MD, today.

A common misconception is that electric powertrains and reliability are mutually exclusive. The 2025 Ram 1500 Ramcharger shows exactly why this is false, offering drivers electric efficiency, work-ready muscle, traditional gas-vehicle range, and an array of utility features.

Electrified Muscle Meets Utility in the 2025 Ram 1500 Ramcharger

Unique Electric Powertrain

A first-of-its-kind electric propulsion system powers the Ram 1500 Ramcharger, incorporating two electric motors, a 91-kWh lithium-ion battery, and an onboard generator. The generator converts mechanical energy produced by an onboard 3.6L Pentastar V6 into electricity, which is then sent to a power bus. Electricity from the power bus can be used to charge the high-voltage battery or supplement the electric motors, depending on the situation. Together, the setup generates a maximum of 663 horsepower and 615 lb-ft of torque.

Best-in-Class Towing and Hauling Capabilities

The powertrain’s immense output translates to a best-in-class towing capacity of 14,000 lbs and a best-in-class max payload rating of 2,625 lbs. Instantaneous torque delivery to all four wheels provides a sharp throttle response, which allows drivers to tow heavy loads comfortably in urban areas and sprint to 60 mph in just 4.4 seconds on the open road.

Reliable Driving Range

With the generator actively recharging the battery on the go, the pickup truck is capable of driving up to 690 miles. This beats the maximum range of most gas-powered and electric vehicles on the market.

You can also recharge the Ram 1500 Ramcharger’s battery by connecting the vehicle to an external charger like a traditional EV. The pickup truck is equipped to handle both AC and DC chargers, so you can choose the charging speed based on your situation. A DC fast charger adds 50 miles of range in only 10 minutes.

Convenient Backup Power

If work calls from where the grid is unavailable, you don’t need to carry a generator with you; the Ram 1500 Ramcharger offers multiple outlets to power equipment using energy from the high-voltage battery. The truck features a 115-volt, 400-watt outlet on the driver side of the bed, among many others.

The pickup truck can also directly power your home to keep the appliances running during a grid failure. With the battery fully charged, the Ram 1500 Ramcharger can power your home for up to 30 days.

Hands-Free Active Driving Assist

The Ram 1500 Ramcharger’s semi-autonomous driving mode, Hands-Free Active Driving Assist, comes in handy when traveling hundreds of miles on interstate highways. Once activated, drivers can safely take their hands off the wheel and observe the road as the Ram 1500 Ramcharger self-drives, maintaining a safe distance from other vehicles.

The Ram 1500 Ramcharger is a top choice for drivers who refuse to choose between efficiency, muscle, and utility. Contact us at Criswell CDJR of Thurmont in Thurmont, MD to learn more about the pickup truck’s features, trim levels, and warranties.
