Taming the Trans-Canada: Why the 2025 RAM 1500 Offers the Best Ride on the Prairies

The Trans-Canada Highway stretches endlessly across Manitoba's prairies, and families in Brandon know that comfort matters on those long drives to Winnipeg or beyond. The 2025 RAM 1500 provides a driving experience that makes every kilometre more enjoyable, whether you're hauling equipment to the cottage or taking the family on a weekend adventure across the province.

What sets the RAM 1500 apart isn't just power or capability—it's the thoughtful engineering that prioritizes passenger comfort. From the available four-corner air suspension system to the refined interior, this truck understands that Manitoba drivers spend serious time on the road and deserve a vehicle that makes those journeys as smooth as possible.

Advanced Suspension Technology for Prairie Roads

The 2025 RAM 1500 offers an available active-level four-corner air suspension system that automatically adjusts to road conditions. This technology continuously monitors the terrain and adjusts each wheel independently, providing a stable, controlled ride that smooths out the imperfections common on prairie highways.

Unlike traditional suspension systems, this air suspension technology adapts in real-time. When you're cruising at highway speeds between Brandon and Winnipeg, the system lowers the truck for improved aerodynamics and fuel efficiency. When you encounter rougher terrain or need ground clearance, it automatically raises to meet the challenge.

  • Active-level four-corner air suspension available on Sport, Rebel, Laramie, Limited Longhorn, and Limited Tungsten trims
  • Standard on Limited Longhorn and Limited Tungsten models
  • Real-time adjustment for optimal comfort and control
  • Enhanced fuel efficiency through automatic ride height management

Performance That Handles Manitoba Conditions


The 2025 RAM 1500 delivers the performance needed for Manitoba's diverse driving conditions. The available 3.0-litre Hurricane engines provide substantial power while maintaining fuel efficiency—crucial for long-distance travel across the province.

The Hurricane Standard Output engine produces impressive performance for daily driving, while the Hurricane High Output variant delivers enhanced capability for heavy-duty tasks. Both engines pair with a TorqueFlite eight-speed automatic transmission that optimizes shift points for smooth operation and fuel economy.

For families in Brandon who regularly travel to urban centres or cottage country, the RAM 1500's combination of power and efficiency ensures you're ready for any journey. The truck's electronic on-demand transfer case provides confident traction when Manitoba weather turns challenging.

Interior Comfort for Long Drives

Long drives across Manitoba demand comfort, and the RAM 1500's interior delivers with thoughtful design and premium materials. The available dual wireless charging pads keep devices powered during extended trips, while the advanced Uconnect 5 system provides entertainment and navigation to make every kilometre more enjoyable.

The truck offers multiple seating configurations, including available heated and ventilated front seats that adapt to Manitoba's temperature extremes. Whether you're heading out on a cold January morning or returning from a hot summer day at the lake, the cabin environment adjusts to keep everyone comfortable.

Technology for Prairie Travel

Manitoba's vast distances make technology features particularly valuable. The 2025 RAM 1500 includes available hands-free driving assist that reduces fatigue on long highway stretches. The 14.5-inch touchscreen provides clear navigation displays, while the digital rearview mirror maintains visibility when the truck bed is loaded with gear.

  • Available 14.5-inch touchscreen with wireless connectivity
  • Hands-free driving assist for highway travel
  • Digital instrument cluster with customizable displays
  • Premium audio systems for entertainment during long drives

Which RAM 1500 Configuration is Right for You?

For families primarily using the truck for highway travel and daily driving, the Big Horn or Sport trims provide excellent value with available air suspension. Those requiring maximum comfort for regular long-distance travel should consider the Laramie or Limited trims, which include the advanced suspension as standard equipment along with premium interior appointments.

The Rebel trim caters to drivers who balance highway comfort with off-road capability, while the Limited Longhorn and Limited Tungsten represent the pinnacle of luxury and ride refinement.
