2025 Ram 1500: Indeed, The Bold and The Beautiful

If you can afford and handle a real man’s truck, the 2025 Ram 1500 may be just what your hot doc ordered.

Bold, beautiful, plenty for all creatures great and small, this truck is truly a Bear magnet.  And a Bear insulator. This is the 5th generation of the Ram 1500, and it now comes with a V-6 turbo, which really does give it a lot of extra power. 

First, about the only slight downside is towing; if you need this as a workhorse there are better options. But if we assume that you are not trying to rebuild ancient pyramids or soiled reputations, the 2025 Ram 1500 is an ideal full-sized truck for all your Bear needs, however defined.


(Again, please be sure you have a large secure place to park it. Like your men, you need to make sure you can handle its girth and largess.)

You can get into this truck for ‘as little’ as $42K US. I say ‘as little’ while also rolling my eyes a bit; right now, I can barely afford a dozen eggs much less a proper down payment on that. I am still ‘waiting’ for the price of eggs to come down (eyes rolling).

Nonetheless, even at $42K US, you will be getting something worthwhile with a history of outlasting your next husband whom you will meet at Beef Dip in Puerto Vallarta. 

The ride is smooth, the interior is elegant – and you will feel like you have nicely matched your butch side with that constant need to be pampered and powdered. 

No need to take just my word:

Edmunds.com says “if you’re looking for something to drive daily …. The Ram’s appeal is undeniable.”

From U.S. News and World Report: “The Ram provides a gentler ride than you might expect from a full-size truck, and its cabin is stylish and luxurious.”

And from Car and Driver: “Superior ride quality, available with a smooth and powerful twin-turbo inline-six, upper trims offer luxury-car cabins,” adding “[this] truck …. exists at the intersection of elbow grease and indulgence.”

(I have been at the intersection of Elbow Grease and Indulgence; thank goodness I was not arrested.)

Given the uncertainty of world markets, now may be your best time to get this truck with a relatively reasonable interest rate.  And then, start enjoying your real-life Tonka truck as it comes to life.  Why?


We are in a new world, gentlemen.  We cannot deny it.  I wish I could tell you what the future, or even the rest of 2025, will have instore. 

What we here at Bear World can tell you is that from what we have heard as of today, all scheduled Bear events will go on as planned, which means that ‘Bear Life’ will go on as plan.

Please – live your life as if, say, an angel who used to be Attorney General of California were giving you the wings you need to fly.

Yet, also please, stay vigilant.  You may be okay, but your brother bears of a more mocha shade may not be.  Spread love where you can.

OMG, I already need to down something to stay sane. And it’s not even noon.
