Starting at $49,110, it pairs a 285 hp Pentastar 3.6L V6 with 4,500 lbs of towing capacity and genuine 4WD capability — making it the right truck for Junction City families who tow to Milford Lake on weekends and commute across rolling Kansas plains during the week. No other midsize pickup offers a removable roof alongside this level of desert-validated performance. View Inventory How Well Does the 2022 Jeep Gladiator Mojave Handle Off-Road and Daily Driving in Junction City? The Mojave earns its Desert Rated badge with a suspension tuned specifically for high-speed open terrain, which also translates to a noticeably more compliant and comfortable ride on paved roads compared to stiffer off-road setups — a genuine advantage for daily driving around Junction City's mix of highway stretches and gravel back roads. Edmunds notes that the Mojave is tailored for higher-speed off-road driving with reinforced chassis components and a desert-focused suspension tune, making it equally capable on washboard runs and smooth on the commute to Fort Riley. The standard Command-Trac part-time 4WD system with low and high gear ranges gives drivers the confidence to handle the gently rolling plains and river valley terrain surrounding Junction City without hesitation. Whether the road turns to gravel near the Kansas River or you're navigating a muddy trail after a spring rain, the Mojave's 4WD capability and 11.1 inches of ground clearance keep you moving. Fuel economy for a truck of this capability and curb weight is reasonable. The EPA-rated figures for the Mojave are: Feature Mojave MPG 16 city / 23 hwy / 19 combined At 19 combined MPG, the Mojave delivers a calculated range of 418 miles on its 22-gallon fuel tank — enough for a round trip from Junction City to Milford Lake and back several times before a fill-up is needed. Shoppers interested in exploring available Mojave configurations can browse our current new-vehicle inventory to see what's in stock at Valor CDJR. Schedule Test Drive Exterior Styling and Rugged Design Features Tailored for Adventures The Gladiator Mojave carries a design language that is unmistakably Jeep — seven-slot grille, boxy fenders, and a purposeful stance that communicates capability before the engine even starts. On the Mojave specifically, painted front and rear bumpers, black electrically adjustable mirrors, and standard front fog lights give it a polished yet aggressive appearance that fits naturally alongside the historic character of downtown Junction City and the energetic vibe of a college town. The exterior color palette gives buyers meaningful choices. Options include Black Clear Coat, Bright White Clear Coat, Firecracker Red Clear Coat, Snazzberry Pearl Coat, Sting-Gray Clear Coat, Hydro Blue Pearl Coat, Granite Crystal Metallic Clear Coat, Sarge Green Clear Coat, Silver Zynith Clear Coat, and the exclusive Limited Edition Gobi Clear Coat — a desert-inspired sand tone that directly references the Mojave's heritage. The in-stock unit at Valor CDJR wears Silver Zynith Clear Coat, a sharp choice that catches light well on both highway and trail. Standard 17-inch alloy wheels with 7.5-inch-wide rims mount all-terrain tires measuring 11.2 inches wide, giving the Mojave the stance and grip to handle Kansas terrain with authority. Optional LT285/70R17C mud-terrain tires and 17x7.5 Low Gloss Black Polished Aluminum Wheels are available for buyers who want to push deeper into the dirt. The Mojave also supports a range of roof configurations — from a Black 3-Piece Hard Top to a Premium Black Sunrider Soft Top — so open-air driving on a warm Kansas evening is always an option. Shoppers looking at pre-owned options can browse our pre-owned Gladiator listings to find the right color and configuration. 2022 Jeep Gladiator Mojave Powertrain Performance and Towing Capacity for Kansas Terrain A stat that matters most to Junction City families: the Mojave pulls 4,500 lbs — enough to haul a loaded boat trailer to Milford Lake, tow a utility trailer for a weekend project, or transport a pair of ATVs for a Flint Hills trail run. That number comes from a well-sorted powertrain, not an overworked one. Feature Mojave Engine 3.6L Horsepower 285 hp Torque 260 lb-ft Transmission manual 6-speed Drivetrain All-wheel drive The Pentastar 3.6L V6 produces 285 hp at 6,400 rpm and 260 lb-ft of torque at 4,400 rpm, paired standard with a manual 6-speed transmission. For drivers who prefer an automatic, the optional 8-Speed Automatic 850RE Transmission is available — a smooth, wide-ratio unit with gear ratios spanning 4.71:1 in first down to 0.67:1 in eighth, providing both strong off-the-line pull and relaxed highway cruising. The in-stock Silver Zynith unit at Valor CDJR is equipped with this 8-speed automatic. Feature Mojave Seating 5 Curb weight 4,952 lbs Towing 4,500 lbs Payload 1,298 lbs The 1,298 lbs of payload capacity means the Mojave's bed handles real work — camping gear, tools, or equipment for a weekend project. The 4,952 lb curb weight reflects the Mojave's reinforced desert-duty chassis, which includes heavy-duty suspension with gas shocks as standard equipment. The Command-Trac 4WD system with low/high gear ranges adds confident traction on the gravel and rolling terrain surrounding Riley County. If you're ready to move from your current vehicle into a Mojave, Valor CDJR makes it easy to get an estimate on your trade-in before you visit the lot. Interior Comfort and Space in the 2022 Jeep Gladiator Mojave for Families and Outdoor Enthusiasts Five adults fit comfortably in the Gladiator Mojave's crew cab — and the interior dimensions back that claim with real numbers. Front passengers enjoy 41.2 inches of leg room and 42.8 inches of headroom, while rear passengers get 38.3 inches of leg room and a matching 42.8 inches of headroom. Shoulder room measures 55.7 inches front and rear, so three adults across the back seat is a genuine option rather than a compromise. For a family loading up for a day at Tuttle Creek State Park, the split-folding rear bench opens up under-seat storage space in the rear, giving you a place to stow gear you want secured rather than exposed in the bed. Front bucket seats come standard in an upgraded cloth, with leather-trimmed bucket seats and specific leather combinations — including Global Black/Steel Grey Leather and Black/Green Leather — available as options for buyers who want a more refined cabin feel. The in-stock Mojave at Valor CDJR features black leather front seat upholstery, a clean and durable choice for active families. Climate control is handled by a single-zone automatic air conditioning system with touch screen controls and a cabin micro-filter, keeping the interior comfortable regardless of Kansas summer heat. A full-length floor console with front and rear cup holders, illuminated vanity mirrors, and ambient lighting round out the daily-driver comfort picture. Storage under the rear seat adds another practical layer for stowing valuables out of sight. Buyers considering financing their Mojave purchase can get a pre-approval decision online before visiting Valor CDJR, which simplifies the process considerably. Infotainment and Connectivity Features That Enhance the Driving Experience The Mojave's standard Uconnect 4C system centers on an 8.4-inch touchscreen — large enough to navigate clearly while wearing work gloves and responsive enough for quick inputs at a stoplight. The system includes built-in navigation with a 3D display, voice guidance, traffic information, and a traffic subscription, so you always have current routing whether you're heading through downtown Junction City or finding your way across the Flint Hills. Smartphone integration is comprehensive and effectively permanent. Both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard, each included — meaning they function for the life of the vehicle without additional fees. Bluetooth connectivity, a voice activation system, and steering wheel-mounted audio controls keep hands on the wheel and eyes on the road. The audio system is a genuine highlight for a truck in this class. A 9-speaker Alpine system with a subwoofer delivers clear, full-range sound whether you're on a quiet highway stretch or parked at a campsite. AM/FM radio, satellite radio with a 6-month trial subscription, and digital radio round out the audio options. Two front USB charging ports and four rear USB charging ports — six total — mean every passenger stays charged on a long drive. A 7-inch digital instrument cluster display sits in the gauge pod, delivering trip computer data including average fuel economy. Keyless entry, push-button start, and a programmable garage door opener add everyday convenience. For drivers who want to expand the Mojave's capabilities further, Valor CDJR's Mopar parts and accessories department stocks genuine Jeep add-ons including the optional TrailCam integrated off-road camera, wireless Bluetooth speaker, and auxiliary switch group for powering aftermarket accessories. Safety and Driver Assistance Technologies Designed for Kansas Drivers in the 2022 Jeep Gladiator Mojave The Mojave's standard safety foundation is solid for a truck designed to go well beyond paved roads. Four airbags are fitted as standard — dual intelligent front airbags for driver and passenger, plus front side airbags — with pre-tensioning front seatbelts (both height-adjustable) and a 3-point center rear belt covering all three rear seating positions. Height-adjustable head restraints are fitted front (2) and rear (3), and LATCH child seat anchors come standard for families with younger passengers. The braking system runs four-wheel ventilated disc brakes with ABS and a brake assist system that applies additional braking force when the system detects an emergency stop — a meaningful advantage on the flat-to-rolling terrain around Junction City where reaction time matters. Hill holder prevents rollback on inclines, which is useful when stopped on an overpass or a gravel rise. Electronic traction control, roll stability control, and a full stability control system work together to keep the Mojave composed on both paved roads and loose surfaces. The optional Safety Group package adds a rear camera, rear parking sensors, LED brake lights, and Blind-Spot/Rear Cross-Path Detection — a system that monitors the lanes beside and behind the truck and warns the driver of vehicles approaching from the rear quarters. This is particularly useful when towing, where rear visibility is naturally limited. For drivers who want the most comprehensive electronic safety net, the optional Advanced Safety Group adds Full Speed Forward Collision Warning Plus with automatic emergency braking that activates from as low as 3 mph, a brake assist link to the collision system, and automatic high-beam headlight control. The trailer stability program is standard, actively managing sway when towing — a reassuring feature for anyone pulling a loaded boat trailer on a windy Kansas highway. Pricing Breakdown of All 2022 Jeep Gladiator Mojave Trims The 2022 Jeep Gladiator Mojave carries a starting MSRP of $49,110 — positioning it as Jeep's co-flagship off-road trim alongside the Rubicon, and reflecting the desert-specific engineering, standard 9-speaker Alpine audio, Uconnect 4C navigation, and heavy-duty suspension that come as part of the base configuration. Feature Mojave Base MSRP $49,110 Destination charge $1,595 The destination charge of $1,595 brings the as-delivered starting price to $50,705 before any options are selected. From there, buyers can meaningfully customize the Mojave through a well-stocked options list. Notable additions include the Cold Weather Group (heated front seats for both driver and passenger, plus a heated steering wheel), the LED Lighting Group (projector-beam LED headlights, LED daytime running lights, LED fog lights, and LED rear and brake lights), the Safety Group (rear camera, rear sensors, blind-spot monitoring), and the Advanced Safety Group (forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking and auto high beams). Roof configuration is another key personalization point. The Black 3-Piece Hard Top with a sliding rear window and rear defogger, the Body Color 3-Piece Hard Top, and the Premium Black Sunrider Soft Top each change the character of the truck significantly. The Dual Top Group adds a manual soft top alongside the hard top panels, giving owners maximum flexibility across seasons. Interior upgrades include Global Black/Steel Grey Leather and Black/Green Leather seating options, while the optional 8-Speed Automatic 850RE Transmission is a popular option for buyers who prefer not to row their own gears. The in-stock used Mojave at Valor CDJR — a Silver Zynith Clearcoat crew cab with 49,373 miles, leather seating, the 8-speed automatic, LED Lighting Group, Cold Weather Group, hard top, and Uconnect 4C navigation — is currently priced at $33,763, representing a strong value entry point for buyers who want the full Mojave experience at a lower price than new. In the competitive midsize pickup segment, the Mojave competes with trucks like the Toyota Tacoma, Ford Ranger, and Chevrolet Colorado — and the Gladiator Mojave offers a removable roof, open-air driving, and a desert-validated suspension tune.

Awards, Expert Reviews, and Recognition Highlighting the 2022 Jeep Gladiator Mojave's Strengths Third-party recognition for the 2022 Gladiator is consistent and credible. Kelley Blue Book named the Gladiator to its Best Resale Value: Top 10 list for 2022 — a meaningful signal for buyers who care about long-term ownership costs. Vincentric awarded it Best Value in America: Small/Mid-Size Pickup for 2022, and the Specialty Equipment Market Association recognized it as SEMA Mid-Size Truck of the Year for 2022. Expert reviewers have been equally direct. MotorTrend observed that the Gladiator Mojave's desert racing-inspired suspension allows it to go almost anywhere and get there faster than any other Gladiator and most other trucks — high praise that reflects the engineering investment Jeep made in the desert-specific tune. A follow-up MotorTrend evaluation noted that Jeep gives the Gladiator more of what buyers want with the Mojave while taking essentially nothing away in return. Car and Driver described the Gladiator as a legitimate pickup truck and a trail-ready tool simultaneously, while Edmunds noted the Mojave's specialized suspension setup positions it as the ideal choice for buyers who prioritize high-impact desert endurance and open-trail composure. Kelley Blue Book reinforced the Gladiator's unique market position as a pickup with a detachable roof and doors — a distinction that remains true in the midsize segment today. Frequently Asked Questions About Owning a 2022 Jeep Gladiator Mojave The 2022 Jeep Gladiator Mojave has a towing capacity of 4,500 lbs. That is enough to haul a mid-size boat, a loaded utility trailer, or a pair of ATVs on a tandem trailer. The standard trailer stability program actively manages sway while towing, and the optional Trailer Tow Package adds dedicated trailer towing preparation for buyers who tow regularly. For families heading to Milford Lake or Tuttle Creek State Park on weekends, this capacity comfortably covers most recreational towing needs. Yes. The Mojave comes standard with the Command-Trac part-time 4WD system, which includes both high and low gear ranges. An optional Selec-Trac Full Time 4WD System is also available for buyers who want a system that can remain engaged on mixed surfaces. The standard 4WD system is well-suited to the gravel roads, rolling plains, and occasional muddy conditions found across Riley County and the Flint Hills region. The EPA rates the Mojave at 16 mpg city, 23 mpg highway, and 19 mpg combined. With a 22-gallon fuel tank, that works out to a calculated range of 418 miles per fill-up. The engine runs on regular 87-octane unleaded fuel, keeping day-to-day operating costs reasonable for a truck with this level of capability. The Mojave is rated to carry 1,298 lbs of payload in its bed and cabin combined. The bed measures 60.3 inches long, 56.8 inches wide at the rails, and 44.8 inches between the wheelhouses — a short-box configuration that fits in standard parking spaces while still handling full-size gear loads, camping equipment, or materials for a weekend project. Valor CDJR currently has a 2022 Jeep Gladiator Mojave in Silver Zynith Clearcoat with leather seating, the 8-speed automatic, LED Lighting Group, Cold Weather Group, and Uconnect 4C navigation available on the lot at 1825 Goldenbelt Blvd, Junction City. To ask about availability, schedule a test drive, or get answers about specific options, give our team a call at (785) 238-5114 — we are happy to walk you through everything the Mojave offers before you make the drive in. The Mojave is Jeep's Desert Rated trim — the only Gladiator specifically engineered for high-speed open terrain and sand running rather than slow-speed technical rock crawling. Its suspension is tuned for compliance and composure at speed across washboard and whoops, which also makes it more comfortable on paved roads than the stiffer Rubicon setup. Standard equipment includes heavy-duty suspension with gas shocks, a 9-speaker Alpine audio system, Uconnect 4C with an 8.4-inch touchscreen, and the full suite of Jeep open-air roof and door options that make it one of the few pickups that can be driven with the top and doors removed.

Direct Answer & Coverage Breakdown When heavy-duty truck owners pull into Valor CDJR in Junction City, KS with severe brake squeal or a trailer brake warning light on the dashboard, the first question they usually ask is simple: “Is this covered under my Ram factory warranty?” The concise, definitive answer is both nuanced and critical for anyone hauling heavy gooseneck livestock trailers, farm machinery, or commercial equipment across Central Kansas. Under the standard Ram 3-Year / 36,000-Mile Basic Limited Warranty, normal wear-and-tear items—specifically brake pads, linings, shoes, and rotor surface friction wear—are covered against defects in material and workmanship for a strictly limited period of 12 months or 12,000 miles (whichever occurs first). Once your truck passes 12,000 miles or one year from its original in-service date, friction material consumption is classified as routine owner maintenance. If your brake pads wear down to the backing plate due to heavy towing across Riley County or high-mileage highway driving along I-70, replacement costs fall outside factory warranty coverage. Regarding trailer safety checks, trailer hitch mechanical integrity, trailer brake shoe adjustment, and 7-pin trailer wiring diagnostics: these procedures are strictly classified as non-warranty maintenance services. Factory warranty coverage protects solely against manufacturing defects in parts manufactured or installed by Stellantis/Ram. Standard trailer maintenance, trailer side wiring faults, damaged trailer breakaway switches, and pre-trip hitch safety checks are the operational responsibility of the truck owner. However, there is a crucial exception regarding truck-side electronic towing controls. If your 2024 or 2025 Ram 2500 or 3500 experiences a failure within the truck's Integrated Trailer Brake Module (ITBM), the factory trailer tow wiring harness, the 7-pin bumper receptacle, or the trailer light control module due to a factory material or assembly defect, those components are fully covered under the 3/36 Basic Warranty. If you are preparing for agricultural hauling season, stop by our service center or schedule an appointment online using our Service Scheduler to verify your truck's electronic trailer controller performance. Meet Mike Hogg: 20 Years of Heavy-Duty Ram Service Experience in Central Kansas As Service Director at Valor CDJR in Junction City, KS, Mike Hogg brings over 20 years of hands-on technical expertise in diagnosing and maintaining Ram Heavy-Duty powertrain, braking, and towing systems. Throughout his two decades in Central Kansas, Mike has worked directly with local farmers, cattle ranchers, construction contractors, and military families from Fort Riley who rely on their Ram 2500 and 3500 trucks for severe-duty hauling. “In Kansas agriculture and heavy commercial transport, your truck’s braking capacity isn’t just a convenience—it’s your primary safety lifeline,” says Mike. “I’ve seen drivers haul 20,000-pound livestock trailers down steep grades along Highway 18 and K-177 in blistering summer heat and sudden autumn downpours. Understanding where factory warranty ends and proactive maintenance begins is what prevents cataclysmic brake fade and costly roadside breakdowns.” Under Mike’s leadership, Valor CDJR has developed specialized, heavy-duty towing inspection protocols that go far beyond standard quick-lube checklists. His team of factory-certified Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram master technicians evaluates friction shear points, rotor thermal checking, electronic gain signaling, and breakaway voltage systems to keep Kansas drivers safe on every mile of road. Mike Hogg, Service Director at Valor CDJR in Junction City, KS, supervising heavy-duty brake diagnostics. Understanding Ram Factory Warranty Limits on Wear Items vs. Defect Coverage Navigating manufacturer warranty documentation can be frustrating when unexpected repair bills arise. Stellantis establishes distinct boundaries between defect coverage and wear-and-tear maintenance. Understanding these parameters ensures Ram owners are never caught off guard when servicing their vehicles at our Junction City dealership. The 3-Year / 36,000-Mile Basic Limited Warranty protects almost every factory-installed component against material defects or factory assembly mistakes. However, high-friction and high-wear items have shortened coverage windows: • Brake Pads & Linings: Covered for 12 months or 12,000 miles against premature debonding, uneven backing plate cracking, or manufacturing defects. • Brake Rotors & Drums: Covered for 12 months / 12,000 miles for defect-related warpage or casting stress cracks. Wear caused by metal-to-metal pad contact due to neglected pad friction is non-warrantable. • Powertrain Warranty (5-Year / 60,000-Mile or 5-Year / 100,000-Mile Diesel): Covers internal engine, transmission, drivelines, and axle assemblies. It does not cover wheel brake hardware, calipers, rotors, or trailer braking interfaces.

Factory ceramic and semi-metallic friction pads can withstand incredible temperatures, but friction material wears away proportionately to load mass and stopping frequency. If you rely on warranty coverage to catch worn pads, you will likely end up with ruined rotors, severe brake fade, or complete friction glazing halfway down a 6% highway grade.” “Proactive brake maintenance and trailer safety checks aren't arbitrary dealership recommendations—they are essential protocols for anyone pulling serious payload. At Valor CDJR, we treat every towing rig as if our own families were sitting in the cab. If you ever need advice on brake wear rates or upgrading your friction pads, Call us at (785) 238-5114 to talk directly with our service advisory team.” What Trailer Brake Control Features Are Integrated into 2025 Ram Heavy-Duty Trucks? Integrated Trailer Brake Module (ITBM) The factory-installed ITBM allows seamless proportional electric or electric-over-hydraulic trailer brake engagement. Drivers can store unique trailer profiles, adjust gain output from +0.5 to +10.0 directly from the dash, and activate manual squeeze lever override in emergency sway conditions. Defect coverage: Covered 3 Yrs / 36,000 Miles. Trailer Light Check & Diagnostics 2025 Ram HD trucks feature an automated Trailer Light Check routine accessible via the Uconnect 5 touchscreen or key fob. It cycles turn signals, brake lights, and running lamps so a solo driver can verify light function before pulling onto public roads. Reverse Guidance & Trailer Cameras Equipped with Digital Rearview Mirrors, 360-degree Surround View, and dual trailer camera inputs, 2025 Ram HD models feed real-time visual streams directly into the central display. Bumper trailer wiring connectors integrate auxiliary camera links and trailer reverse guidance gridlines.

How the Ram Heavy-Duty Diesel Exhaust Brake Works During Trailer Deceleration One of the greatest engineering achievements on Cummins 6.7L Turbo Diesel-powered Ram 2500 and 3500 trucks is the driver-selectable Smart Diesel Exhaust Brake. Operating via the Variable Geometry Turbocharger (VGT), this system dynamically restricts exhaust gas flow when the accelerator pedal is released, creating negative backpressure inside the engine cylinders. The exhaust brake features two distinct operating modes: • Full Exhaust Braking Mode: Delivers maximum engine retardant force immediately upon lifting off the accelerator. This mode is ideal for steep downhill grades with heavy payload gross combination weights (GCWR). • Smart (Auto) Mode: Automatically modulates exhaust backpressure to maintain the speed set by the driver. If you tap the wheel brakes while descending a hill, the Smart Exhaust Brake locks in that speed and continuously modulates exhaust pressure to hold velocity without driver pedal input. By utilizing engine compression to absorb vehicle momentum during downhill descent, the Smart Exhaust Brake dramatically reduces the thermal friction load placed on wheel brake pads and rotors. In real-world testing across hilly terrain in Central Kansas, consistent use of the diesel exhaust brake can double or triple the service life of service brake pads. If you are upgrading your agricultural fleet or commercial towing rig, check out our current Commercial Vehicle Inventory to inspect Cummins-powered trucks with factory exhaust brake technology.

Whether you are hauling grain, livestock, or heavy equipment across Junction City, Manhattan, or Fort Riley, our certified Ram master technicians are ready to perform a comprehensive friction and electrical diagnostic. Book Towing Safety Inspection Online Recommended Brake Component Inspection Intervals for Severe-Duty and Rural Driving Conditions Severe-Duty & Agricultural Schedule (5,000-Mile Interval) Ram owner manuals specify severe-duty maintenance schedules for trucks operating under any of the following conditions: frequent trailer towing over 10,000 lbs, operation on gravel or unpaved farm roads, dusty trail driving, continuous stop-and-go idling, or off-road mud exposure. • Every 5,000 Miles / 6 Months: Inspect brake pad thickness, caliper slide pin movement, and rotor friction surfaces. Perform visual inspection of 7-pin plug pins for corrosion. • Every 15,000 Miles: Check trailer breakaway battery voltage, inspect trailer brake wire harnesses, test brake fluid moisture content (flush if boiling point is reduced). Standard Highway Towing Schedule (10,000-Mile Interval) For Ram trucks driven primarily on paved interstate highways with light to moderate towing frequency: • Every 10,000 Miles / 12 Months: Measure inner and outer pad friction depth with a digital gauge. Inspect rotor thickness against minimum throwaway specifications stamped on the rotor hat. • Every 20,000 Miles: Inspect emergency parking brake shoe linings, lubricate parking brake cables, and verify ITBM voltage output curves under simulated trailer resistance.

Brake Pedal Pulsation & Steering Vibration When applying brakes under load on a Ram 3500 Dual Rear Wheel (DRW) truck, a rhythmic pulsation felt through the brake pedal or rapid steering wheel flutter usually indicates Disc Thickness Variation (DTV) caused by localized overheating and friction material transfer. 2. Heat Checking & Surface Micro-Cracking Severe thermal cycles generate thin hairline stress cracks on rotor friction faces known as heat checking. If rotor temperatures exceed 1,200°F during hard mountain braking, the iron matrix alters, causing permanent structural hard spots (cementite formation). 3. Squealing, Groaning, or Extended Distance Glazed rotor surfaces and hardened pad friction compounds produce high-frequency squealing or low-frequency groaning under brake application. Stopping distances increase significantly as the coefficient of friction drops under extreme heat. What Practical Trailer Safety Inspection Steps Should Ram Owners Follow Before Towing Farm or Utility Trailers? Electrical & Electronic Pre-Tow Checklist 1. 7-Pin Socket Contact Tension: Clean terminal blade contacts with electrical contact cleaner and apply dielectric grease to prevent green copper oxidation. 2. Breakaway Battery Test: Verify the trailer emergency breakaway battery voltage reads at least 12.6 volts using a multimeter. Pull breakaway pin to confirm magnets lock trailer hubs. 3. ITBM Gain Calibration: Test manual squeeze lever at 5 mph on dry pavement. Adjust gain until trailer brakes lock slightly, then dial back gain 0.5 units. Mechanical & Hardware Pre-Tow Checklist 1. Coupler & Safety Chains: Ensure hitch ball matches coupler size (e.g., 2-5/16" vs 2"). Cross safety chains under coupler to form a support basket and verify chain class rating. 2. Trailer Brake Shoe Adjustment: Manually adjust star wheels on drum brake assemblies so shoes drag lightly against drum before backing off one notch. 3. Cold Tire Inflation: Set trailer tire pressures to maximum PSI stamped on sidewall to minimize sidewall flex and heat buildup along highway speeds.

Calculate Towing Capacity Rugged Exterior Design Tailored for Outdoor and Work Use Look at the 2025 Ram 1500 Big Horn Crew Cab 4x4 in Bright White Clearcoat and you immediately understand why this truck resonates with Junction City's community of working professionals and service members. The exterior is purposeful without being flashy — a design language that communicates capability and pride of ownership in equal measure. The Chrome Ram Grille Badge adds a polished touch to the front fascia, giving the Big Horn a level of visual presence that sets it apart from base configurations while keeping the overall look clean and professional. The 18-inch cast-aluminum painted wheels in Black complement the Bright White Clearcoat exterior with a sharp contrast that looks equally at home in downtown Junction City or on a gravel trail through the Flint Hills. The Crew Cab body style means four full-size doors and a genuinely usable rear seat — not a compromise. The proportions are balanced, with the 5.7-foot bed providing a clean, functional rear profile that doesn't feel stubby or awkward. A Front License Plate Bracket comes standard, keeping the front end compliant without afterthought. The 275/65R18 All Season tires fill the wheel wells confidently, giving the truck a planted, capable stance that reflects what's under the hood. Ground clearance and the overall ride height of the 4x4 configuration mean this truck looks like it can handle whatever Kansas terrain puts in front of it — because it can. If you're currently driving something else and considering a move to the Ram 1500, you may want to get an estimate on your current vehicle's trade-in value before you visit. Knowing your equity position makes the conversation at the dealership more productive and keeps the focus on finding the right truck for your needs. View Exterior Gallery Power and Performance Suited for Flint Hills Terrain and Local Roads The engine under the hood of this Big Horn Crew Cab 4x4 is not a compromise powertrain — it is Ram's Hurricane 3.0L I-6 DOHC twin-turbo engine with gasoline direct injection and variable valve control, rated at 420 horsepower. That figure puts this inline-six ahead of many traditional V8 configurations in its class, and the twin-turbo architecture means torque delivery is strong and accessible across a wide RPM range, which matters when you're merging onto a highway with a loaded bed or climbing a grade through rolling Flint Hills terrain. The 8-speed automatic transmission manages power delivery smoothly, keeping the engine in its optimal range whether you're cruising at highway speeds toward Manhattan or navigating stop-and-go traffic near Fort Riley. The transmission's wide gear spread also contributes to the truck's fuel efficiency numbers — 17 MPG city and 24 MPG highway — which are respectable figures for a full-size 4x4 truck with this level of output. Specification Detail Engine 3.0L I-6 Hurricane Twin Turbo Configuration DOHC, Gasoline Direct Injection, Variable Valve Control Horsepower 420 HP Transmission 8-Speed Automatic Drivetrain Four Wheel Drive (4WD) Fuel Type Regular Unleaded Fuel Economy (City) 17 MPG Fuel Economy (Highway) 24 MPG The Four Wheel Drive system gives this truck genuine all-terrain capability. Kansas roads range from smooth interstate to unpaved agricultural access roads, and the ability to engage 4WD on demand means you're prepared for both. The 50 State Emissions compliance confirms this powertrain meets standards across the country, an important consideration for military families who may eventually relocate. For buyers ready to move forward, getting pre-approved online before visiting the dealership streamlines the purchase process considerably and lets you focus your time on the test drive rather than paperwork. Spacious Interior Comfort for Family Trips and Weekend Adventures The Crew Cab configuration on this Ram 1500 Big Horn is genuinely family-sized. Four full doors open wide, rear-seat legroom is substantial, and the overall cabin feel is more refined than the Big Horn's mid-range positioning might suggest. This is a truck that can carry five adults comfortably on a drive from Junction City to a weekend lake outing without anyone feeling squeezed. The Deluxe Cloth Bucket Seats in Black provide front-row comfort with a supportive, durable surface that holds up to daily use from work boots and outdoor gear. Premium cloth is a practical choice for buyers who value easy cleaning and long-term durability — qualities that matter when the truck doubles as a work vehicle and a family hauler. Power convenience is well-covered throughout the cabin. Both a 115V auxiliary power outlet and a 115V auxiliary rear power outlet mean passengers can charge laptops, power small appliances, or run equipment without hunting for an adapter. That rear outlet is particularly useful on family road trips when kids need to charge devices or when you're running tools from the back seat on a job site. The 12-inch touchscreen display dominates the center stack and gives the cabin a modern, connected feel that belies the Big Horn's price point. Climate control, audio, navigation, and connected services all flow through this interface, keeping the dashboard clean and intuitive. For buyers who want to personalize their cabin further after purchase, our genuine Ram parts and accessories department carries a full range of interior upgrades, cargo organizers, and protection packages specifically designed for the 1500 platform. Explore Interior Features Connected Tech That Keeps You Linked on the Go The centerpiece of the 2025 Ram 1500 Big Horn's technology package is its 12-inch touchscreen display, and it delivers a genuinely modern infotainment experience. The screen is large enough to be readable at a glance while driving and responsive enough that interacting with it doesn't feel like a chore. Ram's Uconnect system — the software platform behind this display — has consistently earned praise from automotive reviewers for its logical menu structure and fast response times. Smartphone integration is standard on this configuration, meaning both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity allow drivers to mirror their phone's navigation, music, and messaging apps directly onto the big screen. For a daily commuter driving between Junction City and a worksite or keeping up with communications during a long drive, this seamless connection between phone and truck is genuinely useful rather than just a checkbox feature. The Quick Order Package 23Z Big Horn and Big Horn Level 2 Equipment Group included on this specific unit layer additional technology content onto the base Big Horn specification. These packages bring connected services, enhanced audio capability, and driver convenience features that elevate the ownership experience beyond what the trim name alone might imply.

Whether a contractor needs to power a laptop between job sites or a family wants to run a small cooler on a weekend trip to Milford Lake, the truck's electrical infrastructure supports it. The overall technology package in this Big Horn configuration is well-matched to the needs of professionals and families who live connected, active lives in and around Junction City. Safety Systems You Can Trust on Busy Streets A full-size truck that carries families and operates in mixed urban and rural environments needs a strong safety foundation, and the 2025 Ram 1500 Big Horn Crew Cab 4x4 delivers one. The standard safety architecture includes the structural engineering and passive safety systems Ram builds into every 1500, while the packages on this specific unit add active driver assistance technologies that actively help prevent incidents before they happen. The Big Horn Level 2 Equipment Group included on this vehicle brings forward collision warning and active braking capability into the package — systems that monitor the road ahead and alert the driver, then intervene with automatic braking if a collision is imminent. On busy intersections near schools or in heavy traffic, that kind of proactive protection matters for families with kids in the back seat. Blind-spot monitoring, available through the equipment packages on this configuration, gives drivers a reliable awareness of the truck's flanks — particularly valuable when changing lanes on the highway or navigating parking lots in a vehicle with a long wheelbase. Rear cross-path detection adds another layer of awareness when backing out of driveways or parking spaces. The Crew Cab body style provides a robust structural platform with a full complement of airbags protecting all seating positions. The truck's high seating position also gives drivers a commanding view of traffic ahead, which is one of the practical safety advantages of a full-size pickup over a sedan or crossover. Combined with the active safety technology included in this trim's packages, the Big Horn gives families genuine confidence in everyday driving.
