RAM 1500 updated for 2025. Ram has updated their popular 1500 range of pickup trucks. The big news is the death of the HEMI V8 and the introduction of a 3.0L turbo straight six cylinder ‘hurricane’ engine.
There are two models for 2025. The Laramie Sport and the upmarket Limited.
There are still vehicles available from the previous model across dealerships if you definitely want the 5.7L Hemi V8.
However, the new 3.0L turbo straight six engine has more power and torque and better economy. Just not the delicious V8 burble.
MY25 Ram 1500 has two versions of the new engine. The standard output has outputs of 313kW and 635Nm. This is 7.6 per cent more power and 14.2 per cent more torque than the 5.7-litre Hemi V8.
The second version, a high output version in the Limited produces 403kW and 707Nm. That is substantially more than the V8.
Both models also receive a lengthy list of comfort and styling upgrades. These include power tailgates, 14.4-inch infotainment screen, along with a 10.25-inch passenger screen.
There are also some important safety upgrades as well.
Pricing for the 2025 Laramie Sport starts at $141,950. The Limited starts at $159,950. Both are plus the usual costs.
