Shopping for a new Ram near Cathedral City? Joshua Tree CDJR sits at the top of the Highway 62 grade in Yucca Valley at 3,279 feet, about 2,400 feet above the Coachella Valley floor — a straight run up the 62 from Cathedral City. Our lot carries the 2026 Ram lineup.
What Does a New Ram Cost near Cathedral City?
What you pay comes down to which Ram you choose, which trim, how it is configured, and which factory offers you qualify for.
The Ram 1500 alone climbs through ten trims — Tradesman, Express, Big Horn/Lone Star, Warlock, Laramie, Rebel, RHO, Limited, Limited Longhorn and Tungsten — and that walk is the biggest single factor in the window sticker. Cab and bed move it too: Quad Cab or Crew Cab, 5-foot-7 or 6-foot-4 box, rear- or four-wheel drive.
Engine choice matters less than most shoppers expect: the returning 5.7-liter HEMI® V8 is an available option on Tradesman, Express, Big Horn, Warlock and Laramie, and a no-charge upgrade on Limited and Limited Longhorn.†
Every truck on our Yucca Valley lot is posted with current pricing, so the fastest answer for your build is what is in stock now.
† Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) for new vehicles includes manufacturer and distributor options and delivery, process and handling fees, which may be subject to change at any time. MSRP excludes taxes, title, license and dealer installed options, accessories, fees and charges. MSRP is not the dealer advertised price. Dealer price will vary. The dealer sets the final price.
