The Ram 1500 is set to receive a new turbo-six engine, which promises to deliver impressive power. With a maximum horsepower of up to 540, this upgrade will undoubtedly enhance the performance capabilities of the vehicle. The introduction of this advanced engine showcases Ram's commitment to staying at the forefront of automotive technology. This turbo-six engine is expected to provide a thrilling driving experience, making the 2025 Ram 1500 a formidable contender in its class.
Ram Trucks has unveiled its latest offering, the 2025 Ram 1500 pickup, and it comes with some significant upgrades. The truck boasts a refreshed design, new powertrain options, and a tech-packed cabin with three displays.
Engine Options
One of the most significant changes is the replacement of the 5.7-liter Hemi V8 with the new twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter straight-six Hurricane engine. Ram claims that this is the "strongest Ram engine ever," and it comes in two outputs. The SST engine's standard output is 420 horsepower and 469 pound-feet of torque, while the high-output tune makes 540 hp and 521 lb-ft.The truck also offers a 3.6-liter V6 engine option, and all three engine choices pair with the automaker's eight-speed automatic transmission.
New Features
Additionally, Ram is introducing a new battery-electric truck, the 2025 1500 Ramcharger, with an on-board generator.
The 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 also an available electronic-locking rear differential.
Customers will have three axle ratios to choose from: 3.21, 3.55, and 3.92. The truck has an impressive 11,580-pound max towing capacity and a 2,300-lb payload limit.
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.
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, which are heated and ventilated. The trim features a 23-speaker Klipsch Reference Premium audio system, and Ram uses suede to cover the headliner and A- and B-pillars. A unique Tungsten badge sits on the center console displaying the VIN.
Design Upgrades
The arrival of a new powertrain lineup coincides with an updated design inside and out. The Ram's 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.
Ram has also increased the quality of materials and technology inside the cabin. 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's new 10.25-inch passenger screen. The cabin also features an available head-up display, dual wireless charging, and a digital rearview mirror.
Other Features
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.
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, while the Ram REV and new Ramcharger arrive in Q4 2024.
