Today, Ram reveals the 2025 1500 pickup with some significant changes. The truck has new powertrain options, a refreshed design, and a tech-packed cabin with three displays.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Gone is the truck\u2019s 5.7-liter Hemi V8. Ram replaces it with the new twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter straight-six Hurricane that it calls the \u201cstrongest Ram engine ever,\u201d and it has two outputs.<\/p>\n

The engine has a cast aluminum block, cross-bolted steel main bearing caps, a forged steel crankshaft, and forged steel connecting rods. Ram\u2019s powertrain engineers were able to pump 28 pounds of boost into the engine during its development.<\/p>\n

The Straight-Six Turbo (SST) engine\u2019s standard output is 420 horsepower and 469 pound-feet of torque, while the high-output tune makes 540 hp and 521 lb-ft. The 3.6-liter V6 remains available for 2025, and the three engine choices pair with the automaker\u2019s eight-speed automatic transmission. Ram is also introducing the 2025 1500 Ramcharger, a new battery-electric truck with an on-board generator.<\/p>\n

New Ram 1500s equipped with the high-output Hurricane engine will have a new high-torque rear axle available in two- or four-wheel drive with an open or limited-slip differential. There is an available electronic-locking rear differential, too.<\/p>\n

Customers will have three axle ratios for the new 1500: 3.21, 3.55, and 3.92. The truck has an 11,580-pound max towing capacity and a 2,300-lb payload limit.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Ram is also expanding the 2025 lineup with two new trims: Tungsten and RHO. The Tungsten is a new luxury grade, while the RHO is an off-road performance pickup slotting above the Rebel. The RHO is said to be identical to the TRX but packs the 540-hp Hurricane engine instead of the 702-hp supercharged 6.2-liter Hemi V8. Ram is putting the TRX badge on the shelf for now, and the automaker will provide more details about the RHO closer to its launch.<\/p>\n

The new Tungsten trim will sit at the top of the Ram 1500 lineup. It has 24-way power massaging front seats wrapped in Natura Plus leather. They\u2019re heated and ventilated, too. Ram uses suede to cover the headliner and A- and B-pillars and a unique Tungsten badge sits on the center console displaying the VIN. The trim features a 23-speaker Klipsch Reference Premium audio system.<\/p>\n

The arrival of a new powertrain lineup coincides with an updated design inside and out. The Ram\u2019s grille is larger and forward-leaning, with a prominent new Ram badge, premium LED headlights, new taillights, and a sharp new character body line down the side.<\/p>\n

Ram increased the quality of materials and technology inside. The driver looks at a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster with up to a 14.5-inch Uconnect 5 infotainment screen in the center. The front occupant no longer has to look out the window with the 1500\u2019s new 10.25-inch passenger screen. The cabin also features an available head-up display, dual wireless charging, and a digital rearview mirror.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Tech features include a power tailgate with obstacle detection and a four-corner air suspension system with five modes: entry\/exit, aero, normal, off-road 1, and off-road 2. Trucks equipped with the Hurricane engine feature an on-board inverter offering up to 1.8 kilowatts of power through two covered outlets in the bed.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The rest of the 2025 Ram 1500 lineup includes the Tradesman, Big Horn\/Lone Star, Laramie, Rebel, Limited Longhorn, and Limited trims. The RHO joins the roster in Q3 2024. The Ram REV and new Ramcharger arrive in Q4 2024<\/p>\n

Ram says it\u2019ll release the truck\u2019s pricing information closer to its on-sale date. Production begins in the first quarter of next year. It\u2019ll be available in nine colors: Diamond Black, Bright White, Ivory White Tri-coat, Delmonico Red, Flame Red, Hydro Blue, River Rock, Baltic Grey and Billet Silver.\u00a0<\/p>\n
