Overview

The 2025 Ram 2500 builds on the strengths of one of our favorite heavy-duty pickups with a number of significant updates and upgrades, most notably a new-and-improved Cummins turbodiesel. Towing capability and interior technology were strong before and are even better now, with screen options that now include a massive tablet-sized 14.5-inch screen. And we continue to be impressed by the big Ram's relatively comfortable ride quality and general refinement that give it a leg up in areas not represented on a spec sheet.

Edmunds spotlight: Many changes for 2025

The new-and-improved Cummins turbodiesel inline-six produces 430 horsepower and 1,075 lb-ft of torque (up from 370 hp and 850 lb-ft in last year's 2500). It comes attached to an eight-speed transmission (versus a six-speed) now controlled with an electronic column shifter (versus mechanical). Ram says it reduced noise, vibration and harshness with this engine, which would theoretically address one of our previous complaints about the diesel's din. The optional 12-inch touchscreen is upgraded with Ram's latest infotainment interface, and it has also been replaced as the top-dog choice by a new 14.5-inch screen. An all-digital instrument panel and passenger-side screen are now available, too. Dual wireless charge pads and a 2.4-kW inverter are introduced to the available features list along with a trailer reverse steering control system and several safety technologies. The styling gets some changes too (note the reshaped grilles and new split headlight housings).

Competitors to consider

The Ford F-250 is the big nemesis, at least on paper. Its base gas V8 produces the same horsepower as the Ram's Hemi V8 but has a smidge more torque. Ford's optional 7.3-liter gas V8, then, blows the Hemi out of the water. The diesel situation is even more lopsided. Both of Ford's diesel options better the new Cummins. Then again, when the torque figures are all four digits, we're not sure how much it matters. The Chevy Silverado 2500 and GMC Sierra 2500 can't top the 1,000 lb-ft threshold, but the diesel V8 does produce more power than the Cummins inline-six. The GM gas V8 also bests the Hemi's torque. Besides sheer grunt force, though, we prefer the Ram's interior, feature content and general driving experience.

Which 2500 does Edmunds recommend?

Ram says that 70% of 2500 buyers opt for the diesel engine, so it seems reasonable to conclude that the truck's maximum capability is important. We also know that high-dollar luxury trim levels tend to be more popular with heavy-duty pickup buyers than in other vehicle segments. As such, we would recommend the Laramie crew cab or Mega Cab with the Cummins diesel option. There aren't many features from the Limited above it that you can't add as options, making for a more customizable truck. (Why pay for stuff you don't want or need?)

Took it back and a week later got it back. A few months later there was grinding coming from the drivetrain and the wipers would just stop working along with the infotainment system.
