Meet the 2025 Ram 1500

The new Ram 1500 got a complete overhaul for the new model year, replacing the previous year’s available 5.7L HEMI engine with two available 3.0L Hurricane engines for enhanced power output and performance. The lineup also features brand-new trim levels, including the Warlock, Rho, and off-road-ready Tungsten.

Designed for work, the entry Tradesman, Tradesman HFE, and Big Horn models come standard in Quad Cab style, offering seating for up to six riders and a flexible configuration of the rear row for easy cargo transport. The Tradesman and Big Horn are also available in Crew Cab with a 5.7-foot or 6.4-foot box. The Warlock and upper trims are offered exclusively in Crew Cab style for enhanced passenger comfort.

Powerful Performance 

Whether you choose the base Tradesman or the range-topper Tungsten, each Ram 1500 trim level boasts powerful performance. The base powertrain pairs a 3.6L Pentastar V6 engine with a TorqueFlite 8-speed automatic transmission for exceptional power and fuel economy. This setup produces 305 horsepower and 269 lb-ft of torque for a maximum payload capacity of 2,370 lbs.

A 3.0L Hurricane Twin-Turbo I-6 engine is available across all trims, providing more torque for enhanced towing capacity. Paired with the same 8-speed automatic transmission, it produces 420 horsepower and 469 lb-ft of torque for a towing capacity of up to 11,550 lbs. Select trim levels can also be had with a High-Output 3.0L Hurricane engine for 540 horsepower, 521 lb-ft of torque, and impressive capability off the road.

Technologies for Work and Play

The new Ram 1500 comes packed with convenience, infotainment, and safety technologies. Each trim level boasts a digital instrument cluster that displays all the essential driving information, including towing and trailer data in vehicles equipped with optional trailer monitoring systems. A power tailgate is also available for easier bed access.

Ram’s Uconnect 5 infotainment system comes with numerous connectivity options, including Bluetooth phone control and smartphone integration with Android Auto or Apple CarPlay. A ParkView Rear Backup camera comes standard for easier backing, while an available 360-degree camera helps with backing and cornering in crowded intersections and tight spaces. Adaptive cruise control and remote vehicle start are other standard features.
