Just the one price, here's how it looks in ordering software, you click ONE box and it will block out the others:
Hopefully they did not get rid of the CGI block!
Why not? That was a completely unnecessary “upgrade” and by the time they were done with carving it all out for weight reduction, I have serious reservations about the longterm durability of that block over traditional heavier grey iron. In fact, Ram already had initial issues with spinning bearings on these during cold starts, as well as signs of fretting on the main’s where previously this wasn’t an issue. If it is indeed gone, I think it was a move in the right direction. Now if we could have gotten them to go back to flat tappet, that would have been a bonus but unfortunately that’s not happening.
The safety feature additions are because everyone else offers those and they’re playing catch-up. My $30k 2017 VW could do lane centering and read traffic signs, detect a drowsy driver, and stop if a pedestrian walked out in front. A $60-120k vehicle in 2025 should be able to do that too.
I was SO hopeful the GVWR would be A LOT higher than 10k on the 2025 2500s... BUT the standard equipment listings show the new GVWR is a pitiful 10190 lbs for both crew cab and mega cab.

Interesting. I’m just guessing here, but that makes me think that now that it’s past the 10k registration magic number that there’s something physical about the 2500 they feel limits the capacity. Either that or they’re trying not to eat into 3500 sales, especially now that there isn’t an engine that’s only limited to the 3500.I was SO hopeful the GVWR would be A LOT higher than 10k on the 2025 2500s...

If I'm reading this right then the MSRP of a 2025 Level 2 Plus Big Horn is significantly less that a comparatively equipped 2024.
So if I’m reading the guide correctly (which may not be the case), the 4.10 axle is not available on the diesel:
That's stupid, I know the new trans has more ratios in the first 5 gears (6th is 1:1 and 7th and 8th are pretty much the same as the current aisin 5th and 6th ratio. I see no reason why they went back to 3.42's, my 18 3500 was so doggy with that ratio
Now what about the ZF with the 3.73 in the SRW config. I think the lower rear set will be just as bad as the 4th gens unless you lock out 8th
I agree completely. I’m hoping I read the document wrong, or there’s information missing. My last two HO trucks with the 3.73 were absolute perfection.
Only one I saw listed in my quick look was 4.10 AXLE RATIO (DMF)
The SO is gone, only HO now from what I have read ?
One engine option is nice except worse fuel economy being stuck with HO.
