2025 Ram 2500 Performance and Technology

The 2025 Ram 2500 is shaping up to be another great addition to the Ram lineup. While all the details about next year’s model aren’t known, the company has released some key aspects of the truck to a select group of dealers and auto publications. It looks like the 2025 Ram 2500 will keep the best characteristics of the 2024 edition while making worthy improvements, giving drivers an incredible powertrain, refined luxury, and some of the best-in-class towing you can ask for.

You can check out the 2025 Ram 2500 for yourself when it arrives here at Chris Nikel Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram FIAT (CJDRF). One of our associates can answer any questions you have and help you test-drive the latest from Ram. 

Engine Performance

The 2025 Ram 2500 will offer a couple of engine options. The standard 6.4L HEMI V-8 engine delivers 410 horsepower and 429 lb-ft of torque, giving you enough power for most jobs. If you want to upgrade your towing capabilities, the 6.7L Cummins turbocharged diesel engine generates up to 420 horsepower and an impressive 1,075 lb-ft of torque.

One of the greatest improvements Ram has made for the 2025 model is the refinement of both the eight-speed automatic transmission for gas-powered variants and the six-speed transmission for diesel models. The upgraded transmission creates smoother shifting, making even the heaviest loads feel manageable. The improved powertrain also adds to the Ram’s overall efficiency, creating better fuel economy for the new model.

Towing and Payload Capacity

The Ram 2500 is a leader in towing and has one of the most impressive payload capacities in its class — up to 4,000 pounds. With its powerful engine options, the truck can tow up to a whopping 20,000 pounds, making it one of the most capable on the market. It’s the perfect truck to haul large trailers and heavy equipment safely. Some of the best towing enhancements making their way to the 2025 model include trailer sway control, an integrated trailer-brake controller, and rear auto leveling air suspension that adjusts the truck’s height to optimize performance when towing.

Advanced Technology Features

While Ram trucks are renowned for their towing capacity and power, the 2025 Ram 2500 will also incorporate some of the most advanced technology available in any vehicle. A standout feature is the Uconnect 5 infotainment and navigation system, which is expected to come standard on all trim levels.

The Uconnect system is your tech hub, allowing you to wirelessly connect your phone through built-in Android Auto or Apple CarPlay. It can also help you navigate to your destination with vibrant screens that come in a variety of sizes. One of the most convenient aspects of Uconnect 5 is its support for multiple user profiles, allowing different drivers to easily switch without losing their personal settings.

Another advantage is onboard Wi-Fi. The Ram 2500 can keep you and your passengers connected on almost every road and can even charge your phone wirelessly while you drive. The 2025 Ram 2500 is expected to include advanced driver-assistance features, such as adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring, and lane-keeping assist, on more trim levels than it did the previous model year.

Off-Road and Performance Enhancements

The Ram 2500 is the perfect truck for your next off-road adventure. Its performance enhancements make it durable on uneven terrain. Two of the Ram 2500 trims—the Power Wagon and Rebel—are specifically built for off-roading. 

The 2025 Power Wagon trim will include new and improved features, such as an electronic disconnecting front sway bar that can provide greater wheel articulation over the roughest terrain. The trim will also come with heavy-duty Bilstein monotube shocks that help dampen the bumps caused by rocky environments.

If you’re looking for a balance between style and durability, the 2025 Rebel trim is a great choice. It’ll come with 20-inch black diamond-cut aluminum wheels and all-terrain tires for a mixture of class and traction. The Rebel trim also has a rear limited-slip differential with an electronic locker, making sure your truck is stable even in the wettest conditions.

While the two trims above are great for outdoor driving, the 2025 Ram 2500 will offer optional off-road packages for other trims, including skid plates for added underbody protection and hill-descent control for better maneuvering on steep slopes. No matter which Ram trim you go with, you’ll be getting a powerful truck that’s ready for any environment.
