The Ram 1500 has long stood as a benchmark in the pickup truck market, known for combining robust performance with cutting-edge technology. Since the Ram brand spun off from Dodge in 2009, it has continuously pushed the boundaries of what drivers can expect from a full-size truck. The 2025 Ram 1500 is no exception, blending power, efficiency, and technology in a package that appeals to both traditional truck enthusiasts and tech-savvy consumers.
With multiple accolades to its name, including MotorTrend Truck of the Year awards, the Ram 1500’s reputation precedes it. The 2025 model year brings fresh innovations and performance enhancements that ensure it remains a leader in its class. Our team at Chris Nikel Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram Fiat (CJDRF) has put together this guide on the performance and technology of the new Ram 1500.
2025 Ram 1500 Engine Options and Performance
Under the hood, the 2025 Ram 1500 offers a variety of engine options tailored to diverse driving needs:
- 3.6L Pentastar V-6 with eTorque: Delivering 305 horsepower and 269 lb-ft of torque, this engine is designed for those who want a balance of power and fuel economy.
- 3.0L Hurricane: A robust 420 horsepower and 469 lb-ft of torque make this engine ideal for drivers needing higher towing and payload capacities.
