Ram 1500 Specifications & Features
The 2025 Ram 1500 is getting a bunch of cool upgrades for 2025 to stay on top in the full-size pickup game. You can pick between a regular V6 or a turbocharged inline-six that’s way more powerful, making up to 540 hp. They swapped out the old Hemi V8 for this beast. The Rebel version is more off-road-ready, but the Ram shows off its best side when you go for the fancy options, like the Limited and the new Tungsten. These top-notch trims try to act all classy, but they still handle heavy-duty work. It might not tow as much as the Ford F-150 or Chevy Silverado, but it’s still got a hefty capacity that most folks will be happy with.
What’s New?
For 2025, Ram is giving its big truck a makeover and adding cool stuff. They ditched the old Hemi V8 for a new twin-turbo inline-six with either 420 or 540 horses. The truck looks more modern with small style changes like new lights, wheels, and colors. Inside, they upgraded the standard 8.4-inch screen to a big 12.0-inch one, and there’s an even bigger 14.5-inch option. You can also get a 10.3-inch screen for the passenger side now. The Ram 1500 was already the fanciest truck, but now they have a super fancy Tungsten model with leather seats, a massage function, and a fancy 23-speaker stereo. They’re also launching the Ramcharger plug-in hybrid and the Ram 1500 REV EV this year as well.
Ram 1500 Engine, Power & Performance
The Ram 1500 offers two types of engines. A regular V6 and a turbocharged inline-six. These work with an eight-speed automatic transmission that shifts smoothly. The base V6, which has a 48-volt hybrid system, gives you 305 hp. The turbocharged inline-six, known as the Hurricane by Ram, can provide either 420 or 540 hp. Although we haven’t tested this engine in the Ram, it showed impressive performance in the Jeep Grand Wagoneer L, accelerating the SUV to 60 mph in just 4.7 seconds. For those seeking adventure, the rugged Rebel model not only looks beefier but also has genuine off-road capabilities. What sets the Ram 1500 apart is its excellent ride, thanks to rear suspension with standard coil springs, a departure from the leaf-spring setups of its rivals. Opting for the air suspension adds an adjustable ride height, benefiting both fuel efficiency and off-road performance.
Ram 1500 Mileage
The Ram’s inline-six fuel economy estimates from the EPA are still pending, but the V6 ratings are expected to match last year’s model. The V6 Ram 1500 achieved up to 20 mpg in the city and 25 on the highway. While it falls short of Ford and Chevrolet rivals that surpass 13,000 pounds in towing capacity, the Ram 1500 can still tow 11,580 pounds and carry a payload of 2300 pounds. If you need more towing power, check out the Ramcharger plug-in hybrid, towing 14,000 pounds. For heavy-duty needs, explore the Ram HD lineup, boasting an impressive maximum towing capacity of 37,090 pounds.
Dimensions
Ram trucks have long had top-notch infotainment and connectivity, a trend that persists in the newest models. These trucks boast either a responsive 12.0-inch or an optional 14.5-inch touchscreen, both seamlessly integrating with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Even the larger screen comes with user-friendly knobs and buttons for added convenience. Plus, there’s an optional 10.3-inch passenger display, offering easy access to entertainment and navigation features. Ram’s commitment to cutting-edge tech continues to shine in their latest trucks, making them stand out in the class.
