Ram Trucks is bidding farewell to the iconic 5.7-litre Hemi V8 engine in its 2025 Ram 1500 model. Instead, they are introducing the all-new 3.0-litre Hurricane and Hurricane High Output Straight Six Turbo (H/O SST) engines. These engines offer a significant boost in power and torque compared to the Hemi V8.
The regular Hurricane engine generates an impressive 313kW of power and 636Nm of torque. But for those who crave even more power, the H/O Hurricane engine takes it up a notch with 402kW and 706Nm. Both engines are paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission, ensuring smooth and efficient performance.
With the new engines comes impressive towing and payload capacities. The 2025 Ram 1500 boasts a maximum towing capacity of 5252kg and a payload of 1043kg. This means you can confidently haul heavy loads without breaking a sweat.
In addition to the new engines, Ram Trucks is introducing two new variants to the Ram 1500 lineup. The sporty RHO variant will be powered by the more powerful H/O Hurricane engine, providing an exhilarating driving experience. And for those seeking the utmost luxury, the Tungsten variant offers an ‘ultra-premium’ experience with its exclusive interior and upscale features.
The 2025 Ram 1500 also receives a sleeker design with updated grilles and tail lights. Each model in the lineup features a unique grille design, adding a touch of individuality to the vehicle. The new ‘jeweled’ tail lights elevate the overall aesthetic, giving the Ram 1500 a distinctive look on the road.
When it comes to the interior, Ram Trucks has not held back in terms of comfort and technology. The interior trims have been revised, offering new color options and stylish appliques. The Limited variant, for example, now offers a sleek black/ebony red interior colorway, while the Laramie can be customized with a Bison Brown/Sea Salt Gray two-tone interior.
One of the standout features of the new Ram 1500 is its improved infotainment system. Drivers can choose between a 12-inch or a larger 14.5-inch touchscreen display, providing easy access to navigation, entertainment, and other functions. The Uconnect 5 infotainment system also includes dedicated buttons for quick and intuitive control.
Passengers are not left out either, as the Ram 1500 offers a segment-first 10.25-inch passenger display. This display allows passengers to view navigation, camera feeds, and entertainment functions, enhancing their overall experience. They can even connect their own devices using an HDMI plug for a personalized entertainment setup.
In terms of safety, the 2025 Ram 1500 is well-equipped with a range of advanced features. Active driving assist and hands-free driving assist bring an extra layer of confidence to the journey. Other safety features include autonomous emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, adaptive cruise control, semi-automatic park assist, and a surround-view camera.
While the updated petrol-powered Ram 1500 is set to hit US showrooms in the first quarter of 2024, Ram Trucks Australia has yet to confirm its arrival. But one thing is for sure, when the Australian market does get its hands on the 2025 Ram 1500, it’s bound to make waves with its powerful performance and luxurious features.
