After Ford and Chevy recently updated their full-size pickup trucks, it was only a matter of time before Ram followed suit. Now those updates have finally arrived with the debut of the 2025 Ram 1500. Highlights include slight exterior styling tweaks, some new technology features and a modestly updated cabin. There's even a new top-spec trim level called Tungsten, and it's as luxurious as a pickup can get. But the biggest news for the 2025 Ram 1500 isn't what is being added — it's what's being taken away.

Overview
The 2025 Ram 1500 is significantly updated this year. Highlights include slight exterior styling tweaks, some new technology features and a modestly updated cabin. There's even a new top-spec trim level called Tungsten, and it's about as luxurious as a pickup can get. But the biggest news for the 2025 Ram 1500 isn't what is being added — it's what's being taken away.

Edmunds spotlight: No V8, no problem
The Ram 1500's available 5.7-liter V8 is gone, and the off-road-focused TRX has been discontinued along with its supercharged 6.2-liter V8 engine. That means all of the 2025 Ram 1500's engine options will top out at six cylinders. We won't miss the old V8 all that much because the new turbocharged straight-six engines are pretty sweet. Both offer more power than the outgoing V8: 420 horsepower for the standard version, and 540 hp for the high-output version. And in our testing, we've found that these engines help give the Ram 1500 impressive acceleration and towing performance.
Competitors to consider
Other full-size pickup trucks that compete directly against the Ram include the Ford F-150, Chevrolet Silverado 1500, GMC Sierra 1500 and the Toyota Tundra. What makes this group so compelling is their myriad strengths, so no matter what your use case ends up being, you'll be able to find a truck that suits your needs. Be sure to check out our full Expert Rating of the Ram below to see if it's the truck for you.

Rated for you by America's best test team.Performance
8/10
How does the 1500 drive? Axing the V8 from the 1500's lineup hasn't slowed the truck down at all. Both variants of the straight-six turbo engine are strong. At our test track, a Ram 1500 with the standard output engine needed only 5.2 seconds to accelerate from zero to 60 mph. With the high-output version, that shrinks to 4.7 seconds, which is well ahead of other full-size trucks.
The Ram 1500's steering is light and doesn't give you much feel for the road. Still, we enjoyed how driving the truck felt predictable. It carries its significant heft well and doesn't feel sloppy when going around corners. It drives with a connectedness that some other full-size pickups lack.

Comfort
8.5/10
How comfortable is the 1500? A distinguishing characteristic of the Ram 1500 has long been its ride quality thanks to the use of coil springs for the rear suspension rather than traditional leaf springs. It's got the best ride of all the full-size trucks, and none of its competitors really come close. On top of that, the seats are top-notch and provide excellent support and comfort for a wide range of body types. Wind and tire noise is also well contained, which only adds to the feel of tranquility in the cabin that the suspension provides.
Interior
8.5/10
How’s the interior? The crew-cab Ram 1500 offers excellent room for both front and backseat passengers, with copious headroom and legroom across both rows. There's a marked difference in interior quality from the top trims (like the Tungsten we tested) to the more workmanlike interiors of the lower trims, but at the top end you'll get a level of cabin refinement and luxury that no other full-size pickup can match.
Finding a suitable driving position is easy thanks to a good range of adjustment for both the seat and the steering wheel. The available fully digital cluster has a good degree of customization and presents its information clearly and legibly at a glance. Visibility is helped by large windows all around, but seeing shorter items around the truck can be difficult due to its high sides.

Technology
8/10
How’s the tech? Our Tungsten test vehicle came with the optional 14.5-inch vertically oriented touchscreen and even a passenger entertainment screen that has a filter on it so it won't distract the driver. Though the screen is large, the software powering it feels dated and has a confusing menu structure. In our testing, we also noticed it could be slow to respond to inputs. This can get particularly annoying because some vehicle features, like seat adjustment or seat heating/ventilation, are only accessible via the screen.
The latest 1500 marks the debut of a hands-free driver assist system for Ram. It worked well in our testing and rarely required the driver to put hands back on the wheel. The other driver aids are also helpful with centering the truck in its lane and accelerating and slowing down smoothly.

Towing and Storage
8/10
How are the towing and storage? The jumbo-sized cabin is matched by excellent storage capacity in the cabin. Between the front seats (on models not equipped with a bench) is a large storage bin, with a floating center portion where the cupholders are placed. This island can be moved forward or back to add more storage for larger items as needed, and with it slid back there's enough room there to put a sizable bag or purse. The back seat does fold up to show a small cargo area, but that isn't lockable so the storage can't be secured. And there isn't a flat floor like you can get in some other pickups.
Maximum payload capacity is 2,300 pounds and maximum towing capacity is 11,580 pounds. This is less than what the Ford F-150 is capable of but in general the Ram 1500 has plenty of utility. The powertrains are more than up to the task for towing, and there's plenty of power to move even larger trailers with ease. We did notice that the rear of the truck can feel a bit less planted compared to other trucks with their traditional leaf-spring suspension.

We did notice that the rear of the truck can feel a bit less planted compared to other trucks with their traditional leaf-spring suspension.
Fuel Economy
7.5/10
How’s the fuel economy? Fuel economy varies based on powertrain. The best fuel economy is an EPA-estimated 23 mpg combined with the base engine and RWD. For 4WD versions of the truck with the straight-six turbos, the standard output engine is estimated at 19 mpg combined, and for the high-output engine, those numbers dip slightly to 17 mpg combined. These figures are decent, though you can get better mpg from the F-150 with its hybrid powertrain or the Silverado 1500 with its available diesel engine. We tested a 1500 Tungsten with the high-output engine. On our evaluation route, it got 19 mpg, which indicates the EPA's estimates are on target.
Value
7.5/10
Is the 1500 a good value? If your plan is to use your truck in more of a work capacity, then the Ram's value proposition takes a hit because other full-size pickups will do the job at a lower price point than most of the Ram lineup. However, if your priority is the cabin and daily driving, the Ram 1500 begins to make more sense as its ride quality and creature comforts (at higher trim levels especially) may be worth the money. Rams aren't the cheapest trucks of the bunch, but you're getting what you pay for in terms of interior quality and performance.
Wildcard
8.5/10
The Ram 1500's burly exterior styling is matched by the output of its straight-six turbo engines, from which the truck derives a lot of its appeal. While the Ram isn't fun-to-drive in the traditional sense, its formula of prodigious power and comfort is sure to put a smile on your face. The truck also features an inviting cabin, with the Tungsten trim in particular putting its own spin on American luxury with top-notch materials and a spacious cabin with enough room for all passengers to stretch out.
Which 1500 does Edmunds recommend?
We recommend the Laramie trim level for most shoppers because it comes with the standard-output turbocharged engine and an appealing set of standard features. It's also the trim where many of the Ram's better upgrades become available, such as a surround-view camera and dual wireless charging pads. If you are looking to go off-road, the Rebel is similarly priced and equipped to the Laramie but offers more capability.

2025 Ram 1500 First Impressions
•11/06/2023 (updated 2/22/2024)
What's under the Ram 1500's hood?
And what's departing is two cylinders. The stalwart 5.7-liter Hemi V8 is gone and the TRX has been discontinued along with its supercharged 6.2L V8 engine that it borrowed from Dodge's Hellcat vehicles. That means all of the 2025 Ram 1500's engine options will top out at six cylinders. We won't miss the old V8 all that much, as it had gruff power delivery and clunky engagement and didn't deliver sufficient power compared to its rivals. But nobody will accuse the new 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged inline six-cylinder engine, dubbed "Hurricane," of lacking any grunt.
The new inline-six will come in two outputs, a standard version producing 420 horsepower and 469 lb-ft of torque and a High Output version making 540 horsepower and 521 lb-ft of torque. Both engines offer more power than the old V8's 395 horsepower and 410 lb-ft of torque. The base engine will remain the 3.6-liter V6 with a mild hybrid system, but that will only be offered on the bottom two trim levels (Tradesman and Big Horn/Lone Star).
How does the Ram 1500 drive?
We had a chance to drive both of the Hurricane variants on the street, and the lower-output version on an off-road course and while towing a 7,300-pound trailer. Both engines performed flawlessly, taking on everything we threw at them with relative ease. The Hurricane engines use two smaller turbochargers, each feeding three cylinders, instead of one larger turbo, and that eliminates turbo lag for the most part. While in Sport mode the engines are especially responsive (there's a hint of throttle lag in Normal), getting into their powerband quickly. The High Output is arguably overqualified for street driving. To add some perspective, it makes more horsepower and torque than the Ford F-150 Raptor's 3.5L turbocharged V6 (450 hp, 510 lb-ft) — a bit of trivia your Ford friends will love to hear about.
We navigated the off-road course and the towing test with Ram 1500s equipped with the standard-output engine, a decision that showed the company's faith in the standard Hurricane and not just the High Output version. Power delivery in the muddy, slick conditions was very easy to modulate. With the transfer case set to 4WD Lo, the engine put out consistent, predictable power that made it easy to climb hills at a smooth and safe rate.
The 7,300-pound Airstream trailer hooked up behind the Ram 1500 was also easily managed. Our route was pretty flat, so we'll have to see how the engine does going up larger grades, but it navigated the roads in Texas Hill Country with ease, providing confident acceleration with a transmission capable of grabbing the proper gear.
After a day with the new straight-sixes, I didn't find myself missing the V8 at all except for one way: the noise. There's nothing that sounds like a V8, but I'll trade those auditory delights for the better performance of these new engines in a heartbeat. We're just waiting for one more key bit of info: fuel economy. Ram says those estimates will be available closer to the truck's on-sale date in March 2024.
How comfortable is the Ram 1500?
Unsurprisingly, it's an extremely comfortable truck to drive around. Most of our day was spent in the new Tungsten trim, reveling in its new 24-way adjustable front seats with massage functions. Those seats (nay, thrones) were exceedingly comfortable and supportive, with even the headrests offering four-way adjustments.
Our test vehicle was also equipped with the air suspension, and we've previously found the Ram 1500's setup to be the most composed and comfortable among full-size trucks. That hasn't changed. You can still tell you're driving a big truck around with some body roll present at every corner, but road imperfections are dismissed with impunity and the ride quality for this segment remains top-notch.
How's the Ram 1500's interior?
Because this is just a refresh, the inside of the 1500 hasn't changed too much; the general layout of the interior is very similar to the pre-refresh 1500. But, just to make sure the 1500 keeps up with the Joneses, there is a new (optional) 10.25-inch passenger screen on higher trims, a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, and a larger center touchscreen display offered — up to 14.5 inches. That's a nice bump from the old Ram's 12-inch display, which remains the dominant size in the mid to upper trim levels. A new row of permanent buttons on the touchscreen replaces a few functions that previously had dedicated physical controls (such as the height selection for models with the air suspension). The climate controls, however, still have both digital and redundant physical buttons down the side of the screen, a design we endorse.
How's the Ram 1500's tech?
All the tech you'd expect of a modern pickup is present and accounted for in the 1500. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connect wirelessly, and a vast number of USB ports (both A and C) are all standard. A full color head-up display is optional. A number of advanced driver aids, like forward collision mitigation, lane departure mitigation, blind-spot warning, and a digital rearview mirror, are available for extra coin. The current Ram 1500 offers adaptive cruise control, but the 2025 model takes it one step further. Now available is what Ram is calling Hands-Free Active Driving Assist, a Level 2+ semi-autonomous driving system. The system offers the capability of hands-off driving at freeway speeds and lane centering on approved roadways. Ram tells us that it currently has 125,000 miles mapped, enough to cover the vast majority of major interstates throughout the country. But it has a ways to go to catch up to the 750,000 miles of roadways that GM has mapped for its Super Cruise system. The Ram system comes with three free years of use but will require a subscription after that
Turning the system on is incredibly simple: You hit a button on the steering wheel and then set the speed. Green lights in the cluster and an icon let you know that the system is in hands-free mode and a small camera on top of the steering column watches the driver's eyes to make sure the driver is paying attention. We've had extensive experience with the other currently available Level 2+ systems and this new one fits right in with the best of them. It turns on quickly and does a great job of staying on, and it also alerts the driver effectively when you need to retake control via subtle seat vibrations and chimes. Lane changes can also be done autonomously via a bump of the turn signal, and those are executed smoothly (as are accelerating and braking).
What is the 2025 Ram 1500's pricing?
The 2025 Ram 1500 will be offered in these trim levels: Tradesman, Big Horn/Lone Star, Laramie, Rebel, Limited, Limited Longhorn and Tungsten. The Tungsten model joins the Ram lineup as the new top-spec truck for 2025. The Tungsten offers a new Sea Salt and Indigo color scheme that I loved. It features vast amounts of leather, including on the window pillars and headliner. Many cows died to make this interior — many cows. There's also a new, very impressive 23-speaker Klipsch audio system, dual wireless chargers and metal pedals. The Tungsten also gets a new molded front bumper instead of a more traditional steel one. The Ram 1500 already offered the best cabins of any of the full-size pickups and the Tungsten just takes it to another level.
It also takes the Ram's pricing to another level, with the Tungsten starting at $89,150 (including a $1,995 destination charge). The prices for all of the trims have gone up with this redesign:
Tradesman: $42,270
Big Horn/Lone Star: $46,930
Laramie: $62,025
Rebel: $66,190
Limited: $77,150
Limited Longhorn: $77,645
The Rebel and Laramie both feature the Hurricane engine standard, with the High Output engine standard on Limited and above. In case you're wondering why the Rebel isn't offered with the High Output engine, there's another Ram 1500 variant, dubbed the RHO (perhaps Rebel High Output?), due late in 2024, and it will likely remedy that omission.
Competitors to consider
As we mentioned earlier, the Ram 1500 goes up against the recently refreshed full-size Ford F-150 and Chevrolet Silverado 1500. And there's also the redesigned Toyota Tundra, with its strong lineup of hybrid powertrains.
Edmunds says
The only thing we'll miss from the old V8 is the sound because the new six-cylinder engines perform better on the street, while off-road, and even while towing. Plus the interior on the new Tungsten trim is so swanky, luxury automakers should take notes.
