The Dude Ram 1500 Concept made its bold debut at SEMA 2025, showcasing Mopar’s modern take on a classic ’70s sport trim truck. Combining heritage styling with contemporary performance, the concept elevates the street truck segment.
Design Inspired by the ’70s
The original Dude trim package from the early 1970s influenced the Ram 1500 Concept. Mopar updated the design with a lowered stance, aggressive lines, and subtle retro cues.
Exterior Highlights
Sublime Green paint dominates, complemented by satin black C-stripes and accents on the hood, roof, mirrors, and tailgate. The 22-by-10-inch black wheels and side-exit exhausts emphasize performance aesthetics.
Interior Detailing
Inside, Alea leather seats feature bright green stitching. The instrument panel sports a custom “The Dude” badge. Mopar adds an in-console safe, accessory rail, and all-weather floor mats.
Power and Performance
The iconic 5.7-liter HEMI® V8 powers the concept, delivering 395 horsepower. Mopar upgrades include a cold-air intake, enhancing airflow and throttle response. The truck offers a blend of classic muscle and modern drivability.
Street Presence
Mopar’s design emphasizes an aggressive, yet approachable sport truck persona. The lowered stance, blacked-out features, and bold color contrast make The Dude unmistakable.
SEMA Debut and Community Engagement
The Dude joins hundreds of Mopar-customized vehicles at the 2025 SEMA Show. Fans can explore factory-backed parts, accessories, and meet NHRA stars like Tony Stewart and Leah Pruett.
Summary
The Dude Ram 1500 Concept merges vintage charm with modern performance, offering enthusiasts a street truck that celebrates heritage and customization possibilities.
