You've already decided on a Ram. Now you want to know if leasing makes sense, which Ram fits the way you drive, and what offers are available right now. This page answers all three, then points you to the trucks.
You can lease a new Ram truck at Waconia Dodge Chrysler Jeep Ram in Waconia, MN. The Ram 1500 is the most commonly leased Ram, while Ram 2500 and Ram 3500 lease options depend on current programs. Terms and incentives change often, so check current Ram lease offers first.
We work with truck shoppers from Chaska, Chanhassen, Victoria, and Eden Prairie, and we explain a lease as a lease and a loan as a loan, never a blend of the two. Browse new Ram inventory anytime, or keep reading.
Current Ram lease deals at Waconia DCJR are posted on our current Ram lease offers page, which updates as manufacturer programs change. Ram lease programs vary by model, trim, term, region, and buyer eligibility, so an offer on one truck may not apply to another.
That's why you won't see a monthly payment printed here. A program running this month may end next month or cover only one cab and bed setup. When you ask about a Ram lease, ask about:
The fastest route to today's numbers: pick a truck, then ask us to price the current programs on it.
Most Ram lease shoppers start with one question: how much truck do I actually need? That answer shapes the lease as much as the offer does.
| Ram Model | Built For | Leasing May Fit If You... | Shop |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ram 1500 | Commuting, family duty, boats, and campers | Want a newer light-duty truck every few years | Shop Ram 1500 |
| Ram 2500 | Heavy towing, fifth-wheel and gooseneck trailers | Need heavy-duty capability and can plan your miles | Shop Ram 2500 |
| Ram 3500 | The top of the Ram pickup lineup for work | Need maximum hauling and towing capability | Shop Ram 3500 |
Lease availability varies by model, trim, and month. Ask our team which Ram trucks have current lease programs.
The Ram 1500 is Ram's light-duty full-size pickup and the truck most Ram shoppers lease. It's sized for the Monday commute into Minneapolis and the Saturday run to the boat launch on Lake Waconia.
Pickups keep adding new technology, and a lease lets you move into a newer truck at the end of the term instead of holding one for a decade. You also drive the truck during its newest years, while factory warranty coverage is in effect.
Check capability before you sign. A properly equipped 2026 Ram 1500 can tow up to 11,610 pounds, but that figure shifts by engine, cab, bed, and drivetrain. Our Ram 1500 Towing & Payload Guide breaks it down engine by engine, so you can lease the setup that fits your trailer.
Heavy-duty shoppers usually arrive with a trailer already in mind. A fifth-wheel camper or gooseneck puts you in Ram 2500 or Ram 3500 territory, since Ram doesn't rate the Ram 1500 for fifth-wheel towing. With the available High-Output 6.7L Cummins® Turbo Diesel, a properly equipped Ram 2500 tows up to 20,000 pounds.
Work trucks pile on miles, so the mileage allowance deserves a hard look. Heavy-duty lease programs also come and go, so we'll confirm what's available on the exact Ram 2500 or Ram 3500 you want. Still comparing heavy-duty trucks? Our 2026 Ram 2500 vs. 2026 Ford F-250 comparison shows where the Ram 2500 stands.
A Ram lease is a contract that lets you drive a new Ram for a set term and mileage allowance in exchange for monthly payments, without owning it outright. The payment mostly covers the truck's expected depreciation during the term plus a finance charge.
On a truck, a few lease details carry extra weight:
Our Car Leasing FAQs explain money factor and residual value in plain English.
Leasing a Ram may suit you if you like changing trucks every few years, drive predictable miles, and want a payment that may run lower depending on the program. Financing may suit you better if you want ownership, equity, unlimited miles, or freedom to modify.
| If You... | Leasing | Financing |
|---|---|---|
| Want a newer Ram every few years | Built for it | Possible through a trade-in |
| Tow often and drive high miles | Watch the allowance | No mileage limit |
| Plan to add a lift or upfit | Limited by the agreement | Your call |
| Want to own the truck long term | Buy at lease end, if permitted | Yours once the loan is paid |
Neither path fits every Ram driver, so compare real lease and finance terms on the same truck. Our Buying vs. Leasing guide covers the trade-offs, and you can explore financing before you visit.
A lease keeps you connected to your dealership for two or three years, so who you lease from matters.
At the end of a Ram lease, you typically return the truck, buy it if your agreement includes a purchase option, or move into a new Ram. Your options and any lease-end charges depend on your agreement's terms.
