2025 Ram 1500: What's in stock, trim-level comparison, FAQ's.

    Updated 2026-06-04
    Quick Answer

    The 2025 Ram 1500 is a full-size half-ton pickup powered exclusively by the new twin-turbocharged 3.0L Hurricane inline-six — a 420-horsepower Standard Output engine in most trims and a 540-horsepower High Output engine on Tungsten and RHO. The HEMI V8 is no longer offered for 2025. Inside, Ram leans hard on a luxury-grade cabin with a 14.5-inch touchscreen and class-leading interior materials, and tow ratings reach up to 11,550 lb on properly equipped Hurricane models.

    Inside the RAM 1500

    A V8-free lineup built around the Hurricane I6

    The biggest story of the 2025 Ram 1500 is what is no longer in the engine bay. Both the long-running 5.7L HEMI V8 and the 3.6L Pentastar V6 have been retired, replaced across the entire lineup by the 3.0L Hurricane twin-turbocharged inline-six. The Standard Output version produces 420 horsepower and 469 lb-ft of torque — more than the outgoing HEMI on both counts — while the High Output Hurricane reserved for Tungsten and RHO bumps that to 540 horsepower and 521 lb-ft. Both engines pair with the TorqueFlite 8-speed automatic and are available with rear-wheel drive or part-time / full-time 4x4. For 2025, there is no V8 option, no V6 option, and no plug-in 1500 REV at retail.

    Capability that still lives up to half-ton expectations

    The Hurricane move was made for emissions and fuel economy, but Ram tuned it to keep the 1500 competitive on the work-truck metrics. Properly equipped Hurricane SO trucks tow up to 11,550 lb and carry up to about 2,300 lb of payload, while Hurricane HO trucks trade some max tow for higher sustained output. The optional 4-corner air suspension remains a key differentiator versus Ford and Chevrolet, providing automatic load leveling, multiple ride heights, and a notably smoother ride for a body-on-frame full-size truck. Off-road appetite is handled by the new RHO, which uses Bilstein Black Hawk e2 dampers, 35-inch tires, and a wider stance to chase Raptor-style desert running on the Hurricane HO instead of the supercharged V8 the TRX used.

    A cabin that doubles as a tech showcase

    Inside, the 2025 Ram 1500 keeps the role it carved out as the most upscale-feeling half-ton on sale. A 12-inch digital instrument cluster is available, a redesigned 14.5-inch Uconnect 5 touchscreen sits in the center stack, and there is an optional 10.25-inch screen for the front passenger. Higher trims add open-pore wood, quilted leather, suede headliners, and 23-speaker Klipsch audio. On the driver-assist side, Ram introduces Hands-Free Active Driving Assist on the upper trims, joining adaptive cruise, blind-spot monitoring with trailer coverage, and a 360-degree camera package — features that matter to families and small businesses crossing into the half-ton segment from SUVs.

    Pros and Cons

    Pros
    • Hurricane I6 makes more power and torque than the outgoing HEMI V8 on every metric.
    • 540-hp High Output Hurricane is the most powerful gas Ram 1500 ever sold.
    • Best-in-class interior materials and tech, especially on Limited and Tungsten.
    • Available 4-corner air suspension delivers a notably smoother ride than rivals.
    • Strong tow ratings up to 11,550 lb on properly equipped trucks.
    • Hands-free highway driver assist available on upper trims.
    • New RHO off-road trim retains serious desert-running capability without the TRX price tag.
    Cons
    • No V8 option for 2025 — a deal-breaker for buyers loyal to the HEMI sound and feel.
    • No naturally aspirated V6 base engine; pricing structure shifts upward.
    • Hurricane I6 fuel economy is good for the segment but not class-leading.
    • Top trims (Limited, Tungsten) push well into luxury-truck pricing territory.
    • No 1500 REV battery-electric retail availability for 2025.

Ram counters with available air suspension, a stronger interior on upper trims, and the larger Uconnect 5 displays.
    The Hurricane engine is covered under Ram's standard 3-year/36,000-mile basic limited warranty and 5-year/60,000-mile powertrain limited warranty. Coverage details and any updates apply per the original new-vehicle warranty booklet.
