2025 Ram 1500: A Bold New Chapter A New Era for Ram
|
Posted By: Randi Payton on November 02, 2024 A week behind the wheel of the 2025 Ram 1500 completely changed my perception of what a pickup truck can be. The redesigned Ram 1500 is set to shake up the pickup truck market with its stunning design, powerful engine, and cutting-edge technology. Power/Performance: The 2025 Ram 1500 introduces a pair of 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged I-6 engines, replacing the iconic Hemi V-8. This move signifies a shift towards efficiency and performance. Additionally, an all-new battery-electric Ram REV and a range-extended Ram charger are on the horizon. The highlight of the 2025 Ram 1500 is the all-new Hurricane engine, a twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six that delivers an impressive 540 horsepower and 521 lb-ft of torque. Ram also introduces a new adaptive air suspension system with improved ride comfort and handling dynamics. The Hurricane engine is a game-changer, delivering an exhilarating performance on the highway and city. The eight-speed automatic transmission shifts seamlessly, and the truck accelerates with authority. The new adaptive air suspension system provides a smooth and comfortable ride, even on rough roads. Exterior/Interior: The 2025 Ram 1500 features subtle exterior updates, including larger grilles, refreshed bumpers, and updated head- and taillamps. The top-of-the-line Tungsten trim boasts a fully integrated front fascia, eliminating the separate steel bumper. The interior remains spacious and comfortable, with premium materials and advanced technology. The latest Uconnect 5 infotainment system features a larger 12-inch touchscreen, enhanced voice commands, and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Safety Features: Ram has equipped the 2025 Ram 1500 with a comprehensive suite of advanced safety features, including Forward Collision Warning with Automatic Emergency Braking, Lane Departure Warning with Lane Keep Assist, Blind Spot Monitoring with Rear Cross-Traffic Alert, Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop and Go, and 360-Degree Surround View Camera. Like the outgoing model, the 2025 Ram 1500 is available in Quad or crew-cab configurations with a 6-foot, 4-inch or 5-foot, 7-inch bed. Other options include two- or four-wheel drive. The smaller Quad cab is available only on Tradesman and Big Horn trims. The 2025 Ram 1500 lineup includes nine trim levels with multiple configurations and starting prices. The starting MSRP may vary depending on options and dealer markup: Tradesman ($40,275): The base model focuses on work and utility. It has a simple interior and exterior with practical amenities. HFE ($43,055): Fuel-efficient version with added features for improved efficiency. It includes aerodynamic enhancements and stop-start technology. Big Horn ($46,930): Popular mid-level trim with a balance of comfort and capability. It offers a more refined interior with chrome accents and upgraded features. Warlock ($56,255): Off-road-focused version with a blacked-out appearance and aggressive styling. It features off-road suspension, all-terrain tires, and skid plates. Laramie ($62,025): This upscale trim focuses on luxury and comfort. It includes premium leather upholstery, wood accents, and advanced technology. Rebel ($66,190): As its name implies, it is off-road focused, with a more aggressive look and advanced off-road capabilities. It features a suspension lift, larger tires, and electronic locking differentials. Limited ($77,150): I tested this top-end model with luxurious features and advanced technology. It includes a premium leather interior, advanced safety features, and a high-end audio system. Longhorn ($77,645): Luxury-oriented trim with a Western-inspired design. Features premium leather upholstery with unique stitching and Western-themed accents. Tungsten ($89,150) is the most luxurious and technologically advanced trim level. It includes exclusive features like a unique grille design, premium materials, and advanced driver assistance systems. Fuel Economy: The inline-six engines get better fuel efficiency than the eight-cylinder engines they replace. The EPA rates the new turbocharged six-cylinder at 18 city/25 highway mpg with one less mpg with the four-wheel drive. The base six-cylinder averages 20 city/25 highway mpg.
