New Features in the 2025 Ram 1500

The latest model brings a host of improvements. Its Hurricane inline-six engines pack a punch while being conservative with fuel, outperforming the previous V-8. The vehicle’s front end gets a makeover with a bold grille and striking LED lights. On the higher trims, a 12-inch touch screen infotainment system comes standard, and there’s the option for tech lovers to upgrade to a larger 14.5-inch display.

Want the top-tier experience? The Tungsten trim delivers soft leather seats and rich wood details, while the hands-free active driving assist system adds a touch of convenience on highway trips. The infotainment system on this model comes standard with the 14.5-inch touch screen, putting a world of features at your fingertips.

2025 Ram 1500 Engine Options

The powertrain options mark a big shift in power and efficiency. The tried-and-true 3.6L Pentastar V-6 with eTorque still puts out 305 horsepower and 269 lb-ft of torque. But the real game-changers are the new Hurricane inline-six engines. These powerhouses significantly improve the truck’s performance. The base 3.0L inline-six engine produces an impressive 420 horsepower and 469 lb-ft of torque. Its high-output sibling is a beast, producing a remarkable 540 horsepower and 521 lb-ft of torque.

Balancing brawn with efficiency, the new inline-six engines deliver impressive fuel economy. The standard four-wheel-drive version achieves 17 mpg in the city, 24 on the highway, and 20 combined, matching the old 5.7L V-8’s combined rating while delivering enhanced performance. The performance-oriented variant trades a bit of efficiency for raw muscle. It returns 15 mpg in the city, 21 on the highway, and 17 combined in a four-wheel-drive setup.

2025 Ram 1500 Cargo Space

Boasting an impressive cargo capacity, the new Ram 1500 offers versatile hauling solutions. Pick from two bed sizes: a 5-foot-7 bed with 53.9 cubic feet of space or a bigger 6-foot-4 bed offering 61.5 cubic feet. These spacious beds can handle almost any hauling job you might face.

A standout feature of this pickup is the innovative RAMBox cargo system. It boosts the vehicle’s usefulness by adding lockable, drainable storage units to the bedsides. This feature keeps your tools, gear, and other items safe and dry. The split tailgate has 60/40 swing-away doors, making it easier to load and unload, especially for heavy items. A durable spray-in bedliner option keeps your truck looking good no matter what you carry, and there’s a selection of tie-down points to secure any load.

New Trim Levels for 2025

The 2025 model year introduces two exciting new trim levels to expand its range. The Tungsten trim tops the lineup with its premium leather seats, eye-catching wood details, and a 23-speaker Klipsch sound system. For off-road enthusiasts, the Ram High Output (RHO) trim stands out with its unique features. It has a stronger suspension for uneven terrain and durable plates to protect the bottom from rocks and other obstacles.

So, what does the MSRP look like for each trim? Here’s the breakdown:

  • 2025 Ram 1500 Tradesman: $40,275.

Improvements From the 2024 to 2025 Model

Revolutionizing the pickup market, the latest Ram 1500 surpasses its 2024 predecessor in numerous ways. The all-new Hurricane engines serve as the pulsing heart of the pickup, outperforming the old V-8s. This model also brings a tech overhaul. Pricier versions flaunt a massive 14.5-inch screen, with a bonus 10.3-inch display for passengers. The addition of the hands-free active driving assist system gives you a reliable sidekick on long drives.

The 2025 model’s new look turns heads. Sharp LED lights, a prominent grille, and eye-catching wheels make it stand out. Inside, it’s just as remarkable. Being inside the new Tungsten trim is like sitting in your living room but with a steering wheel. The 20-way adjustable driver’s and front passenger seats are wrapped in soft leather and even offer a massaging function.

The maximum towing capacity has dipped a bit from 12,750 pounds in the 2024 model to 11,580 pounds, but for most folks, this probably won’t be a big deal. This pickup still has more than enough muscle to handle even the toughest jobs.
