Mopar is once again gearing up to make waves at the 2025 Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) Show in Las Vegas, Nevada. Earlier today, the brand dropped its second teaser sketch for this year’s event, and this time it’s all about the Ram brand. Following the first teaser—a wild Purple Dodge Charger SIXPACK concept—Mopar is now teasing what looks like a lowered, high-performance Ram 1500 concept truck painted in an eye-popping Sublime Green finish.
The SEMA Show runs from November 4th through November 7th, and as always, Mopar is bringing a combination of heritage, attitude, and performance to the convention floor. This new Ram 1500 concept looks like it’s ready to hit the streets, with styling cues that scream muscle truck more than workhorse.
A Bold Look in Sublime-Like Green –
At first glance, the concept’s color commands attention. The bright, high-impact paint resembles the legendary Sublime hue that has graced Mopar performance cars for decades. But this isn’t just about color—the overall stance and proportions tell a story of performance and personality. The hood is one of the first standout features, sporting a center-mounted scoop that immediately hints at power under the surface.
Unlike production models, this hood design looks smoother and cleaner, free from the side badges and trim that typically adorn Ram trucks. It’s a move that feels deliberate—more street machine than showroom stock.
Big Horn or Laramie? –
Looking closer, the front fascia seems to wear a mesh-style grille rather than the smoother horizontal bars seen on Laramie models. That design cue hints that the concept may be based on the Ram 1500 Big Horn Night Edition, which aligns with the truck’s sportier, blacked-out appearance.
Interestingly, the front bumper appears to be a one-piece design—something we haven’t seen before on a production Ram 1500 Big Horn. This suggests Mopar has made significant customizations to the front end, perhaps previewing future accessory offerings or even a fresh look for upcoming Ram trims.
Dropped and Ready to Roll –
The lowered stance of this truck is impossible to ignore. The wheel wells are tightly filled, suggesting an aggressive suspension drop. It brings back memories of the 2019 Ram 1500 Low Down Concept, which Mopar built as a showcase of street-focused customization. That truck featured a lowered ride height, a custom hood, and an understated Black and Silver paint job.
This new concept, however, looks far bolder. It mixes that same low-slung presence with the vivid personality of a muscle car. The Black graphics along the side accentuate its lines, with stripes running just beneath the body’s midline and stretching rearward from the large R-A-M lettering on the doors. Additional Black hood graphics frame the scoop, giving the front end an aggressive, ready-to-run vibe.
A Mysterious Cowboy Touch –
There’s one detail in the sketch that’s got enthusiasts scratching their heads—a cowboy hat hanging off the side mirror. Whether it’s just a fun Easter egg or a deeper nod to Ram’s heritage, it certainly feels intentional. In fact, it has us speculating that this truck could be a modern-day tribute to the Dodge “Dude” package, which was offered on the Sweptline pickups from 1970 to 1971.
HEMI Power with a Twist? –
On the front fender, a “Symbol of Protest” badge is clearly visible—a subtle yet unmistakable nod to the 5.7-liter HEMI® V8 engine with eTorque. That alone suggests this concept is built to move more than air. However, Mopar may have a surprise in store.
Earlier this year, Mopar’s Direct Connection division quietly previewed a new Gen6 3.0-liter twin-screw Whipple supercharger setup designed for the 2026 5.7-liter HEMI platform. It was spotted at Roadkill Nights, the Woodward Dream Cruise, and most recently under the hood of the Fox Factory™ Ram 1500 Lowered DC650 sport truck. If there’s ever a place to debut it officially, SEMA would be the perfect stage. Don’t be surprised if this Green machine shows up with that supercharger bolted on.
The Bottom Line –
Mopar’s second 2025 SEMA teaser confirms what we’ve come to expect: bold color, performance cues, and a deep connection to the brand’s muscle roots. While we still don’t have the full story, the lowered stance, aggressive styling, and potential for a supercharged HEMI make this Ram 1500 concept one to watch.
When the SEMA Show kicks off in early November, all eyes will be on Mopar’s display to see how far they’ve pushed the envelope this year.
