The all-new 2025 Ram 1500 has made its grand entrance, setting a new benchmark for pickup trucks by combining robust power, enhanced fuel efficiency, and opulent features. Ram Truck is reinforcing its commitment to delivering top-tier vehicles with this latest iteration, boasting the introduction of the revolutionary Hurricane engine family and an ultra-luxurious Tungsten trim. This model year promises to cater to a wide range of needs, from demanding work tasks to family transportation, while pushing the boundaries of technology and comfort in the pickup segment.
“The 2025 Ram 1500 is designed to give our customers more in every aspect,” stated Tim Kuniskis, Ram brand CEO – Stellantis. “With the groundbreaking 3.0-liter Hurricane engines, we’re delivering increased power and performance without sacrificing fuel efficiency. Combined with our forthcoming electric truck options, Ram is dedicated to serving every type of truck buyer. The new powertrain options complement the distinctive styling, cutting-edge technology, and renowned durability and capability that Ram owners expect and appreciate.”
Hurricane Engine Family: A New Era of Power and Efficiency
At the heart of the 2025 Ram 1500 lies the all-new 3.0-liter Hurricane Straight-Six Turbo (SST) engine family. These engines, available in standard and High Output (H/O) versions, represent a significant leap forward in powertrain technology. As part of the Stellantis Hurricane Twin-turbo family, these six-cylinder engines outperform many naturally aspirated V-8s and boosted six-cylinder competitors in the light-duty truck segment, offering both enhanced fuel economy and reduced emissions.
The standard 3.0-liter Hurricane engine delivers an impressive 420 horsepower and 469 lb.-ft. of torque. For those demanding even more power, the 3.0-liter Hurricane High Output engine cranks out a formidable 540 horsepower and 521 lb.-ft. of torque. These engines ensure the 2025 Ram 1500 maintains its reputation for capability, with a maximum towing capacity of up to 11,580 pounds, a maximum payload of 2,300 pounds, and the ability to ford up to 24 inches of water.
The Hurricane engine’s architecture is built around a robust deep-skirt cast-aluminum block and a structural aluminum alloy oil pan. It features cross-bolted steel main bearing caps, a forged steel crankshaft, and forged steel connecting rods, making it the strongest Ram engine to date. Advanced technologies integrated into the Hurricane engines include:
- Dual Low-Inertia Turbochargers: Optimized for quick throttle response and efficient power delivery.
- Plasma Transfer Wire Arc Cylinder Bore Coating: Creates an ultra-thin, low-friction surface within the cylinders, enhancing fuel efficiency.
- High-Pressure Direct Fuel Injection (5,075 psi/350 bar): Ensures precise fuel delivery and efficient combustion.
- Engine-Mounted Water-to-Air Charge Cooler: With a dedicated cooling circuit to maintain optimal intake air temperatures.
These engines are manufactured at Stellantis’ Saltillo Engine Plant in Mexico, ensuring high-quality production and performance.
Enhanced Performance and Capability
The 2025 Ram 1500 not only boasts powerful engines but also features a new high-torque rear axle, specifically designed to improve ride quality in models equipped with the Hurricane H/O engine. Customers can choose between 2WD or 4WD configurations, along with open or limited-slip differentials to optimize traction. An available electronic locking rear differential provides on-demand enhanced traction for challenging conditions. Axle ratios of 3.21, 3.55, and 3.92 are offered, allowing drivers to tailor the truck to their specific needs, whether prioritizing fuel economy or maximizing capability.
Ram 1500 continues to deliver class-leading ride and handling through its double-wishbone front suspension and five-link solid rear axle. The available segment-exclusive active-level four-corner air suspension further enhances ride quality and offers up to five different height modes: entry/exit, aero, normal, off-road 1, and off-road 2.
Bold and Heroic Exterior Design

A larger, forward-leaning grille emphasizes the truck’s powerful stance and is available in eight unique styles across the model lineup. The iconic R-A-M badge is now more prominent, positioned higher on the grille. A drawn body-side character line flows from front to rear, creating a cohesive horizontal profile that integrates the front fender, cab doors, and bed fenders. The bed and cab are designed to be sub-flush, reducing aerodynamic drag. All-new taillamps with a jeweled appearance and available Blind-spot Monitoring LEDs are featured across the range.
For added convenience, the 2025 Ram 1500 introduces an optional power open/close tailgate with obstacle detection, controllable via the key fob.
