What's New for 2025?

The headline news for the 2025 Ram 1500 is the death of the V8 — long live the Hurricane turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-6! Available in two states of tune, the Hurricane will typically be seen in standard-output form with 420 horsepower and 469 pound-feet of torque. A high-output version (540 hp, 521 lb-ft) is exclusively specified on the RHO off-roader and the Limited, Longhorn and Tungsten trifecta of luxury trims, which means you won't find a Hurricane H.O. below $70k. In other news, the exterior gets a styling refresh, while the interior boasts newly available features like a portrait-style 14.5-inch touchscreen, a 10.25-inch passenger screen, a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, a digital rearview mirror and a head-up display. In the bed, an onboard power inverter can produce up to two kilowatts and provides two covered outlets. Finally, a new hands-free Active Driving Assist feature provides adaptive cruise control and lane-centering on approved roadways if the driver keeps watching the road.
