2026 Ram 1500 Trim Levels: What’s Available for Lease
The Ram 1500 lineup covers a broad price range, and not every trim is always offered on a lease program. Tradesman is the entry point - a work-ready truck with solid capability and a no-frills interior. Nassau County contractors and tradespeople often lease Tradesman for its low cap cost and high payload rating.
Big Horn steps up with remote start, a larger touchscreen, and the popular sport appearance package available as an add-on. For a Nassau County family truck that also hauls on weekends, Big Horn hits a practical sweet spot.

Laramie: Most Popular Lease Volume
The Laramie trim is Westbury Jeep’s top-selling leased Ram, adding heated and ventilated front seats, a 12-inch Uconnect 5 touchscreen, and premium interior materials that make the Ram 1500 feel closer to a luxury sedan than a pickup. The coil-spring rear suspension - standard on Ram, still optional on competitors - gives the Laramie its signature highway ride.
Longhorn and Limited trim levels add leather, real wood accents, and chrome exterior finishes for buyers prioritizing comfort above all else.
HEMI vs. eTorque: Which Engine for Nassau County?
The 5.7L HEMI V8 with eTorque produces 395 horsepower and adds a 48-volt mild-hybrid belt-starter generator that improves fuel economy at low speeds and eliminates annoying engine shutoff delays at stop lights. Nassau County buyers who spend time on stop-and-go local roads around Westbury and Mineola notice the difference.
Our Ram 1500 vs. F-150 vs. Silverado comparison covers how the eTorque system stacks up against competitive hybrid options in the full-size truck segment.
"The Ram 1500 holds its residual value better than most people expect, which makes it one of the more lease-friendly full-size trucks we carry - especially on the HEMI trim levels."

Why Residual Value Matters on a Ram 1500 Lease
Residual value is the percentage of the vehicle’s sticker price that Jeep Financial Services estimates it will retain at lease-end. Higher residuals mean lower monthly payments because you’re only financing the depreciation over the lease term, not the full vehicle value.
The Ram 1500 - particularly the HEMI-powered trims - holds its value well in the Northeast truck market, which keeps residual percentages competitive. The Westbury Jeep finance desk can walk you through the current residual before you sign.

The Ram 1500 Lease Process at Westbury Jeep
Getting into a leased Ram 1500 at Westbury Jeep typically takes under three hours. Bring your driver’s license, proof of insurance, and two recent pay stubs. If you’re self-employed or own a business, two years of tax returns substitute for pay stubs.
Ram Financial Services lease programs look for credit scores in the mid-600s or higher for the most competitive money factors. Business owners can often qualify the lease through their LLC or corporation, which may offer tax advantages - ask your accountant to confirm before you sign.
At the end of the lease you can return the truck, buy it at the stated residual, or start fresh with a new Ram. If you put on more miles than the contract allows, overages run around $0.20-$0.25 per mile - consider a high-mileage lease at signing if you regularly exceed 15,000 miles annually.
