The 2025 Ram 1500 has arrived with a mid-cycle refresh, bringing significant upgrades to the beloved fifth-generation model launched in 2019. For years, the Ram 1500 has been known for its toughness, versatility, and refined comfort, and this refresh pushes those qualities even further. Here at Landmark Dodge of Morrow, we’re excited to showcase how the new Ram 1500 builds on its strengths while incorporating modern design, advanced tech features, and enhanced powertrains.
A Bold New Look with Upgraded Features
At first glance, the most noticeable change in the 2025 Ram 1500 is its updated styling. The truck now sports redesigned bumpers, giving it a more aggressive and modern presence on the road. New LED headlights and taillights enhance its look and functionality, providing better visibility in low-light conditions. A larger, more prominent grille further emphasizes the Ram’s bold character, blending rugged utility with a sleek, contemporary design.
The truck’s high-strength steel frame remains as durable as ever, ensuring its renowned strength and capability. However, the interior has received a significant upgrade. The cabin is now roomier and packed with more storage spaces, including additional plugs for charging devices, which enhances its convenience for work and family needs. Whether you’re heading to a job site or taking a road trip, the 2025 Ram 1500 offers a refined space designed to make every journey more comfortable and efficient.
Goodbye to the Hemi: Introducing New Engine Options
One of the biggest changes for long-time Ram fans is the departure of the iconic Hemi V-8 engine. In its place, Ram has introduced two all-new 3.0-liter twin-turbo inline-6 engines, which represent a significant step forward in performance and efficiency. These engines come in standard-output and high-output versions, catering to a wide range of driving preferences and needs.
The standard-output engine generates an impressive 420 horsepower and 469 lb-ft of torque. This marks a notable increase over the outgoing 5.7-liter Hemi V-8, which produced 395 hp and 410 lb-ft of torque. For those looking for even more power, the high-output version of the new engine cranks out an astonishing 540 horsepower and 521 lb-ft of torque, delivering more than enough muscle to handle tough jobs or off-road adventures.
In addition to the new engine options, Ram continues to offer the popular 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 eTorque engine as the standard powertrain on Tradesman and Big Horn models. This tried-and-true engine is known for its reliability and balanced performance, making it a great choice for those who prefer a more familiar option. The new 3.0-liter SST engine is available across a range of trims, including the rugged Rebel, the luxurious Laramie, and the high-end Limited and Limited Longhorn, which come equipped with the high-output version of the engine.
Versatility and Capability at Its Core
As expected from a Ram truck, the 2025 1500 remains highly versatile and capable. It is available in two- and four-wheel drive configurations, allowing you to choose the setup that best suits your driving needs. For added flexibility, buyers can choose between the Quad Cab, available on Tradesman and Big Horn models, or the more spacious Crew Cab, which is ideal for families or those needing extra interior room.
Bed size options include a 6'4" bed or a 5'7" bed, ensuring you can tailor the truck’s cargo space to your needs. The 2025 Ram 1500 also retains popular features like the multifunction tailgate, which offers more ways to load and unload cargo, and the RamBox storage system, which provides secure, weatherproof storage compartments integrated into the sides of the bed. New for 2025 is the addition of a power-operated lift and lower tailgate, further enhancing the truck’s convenience.
Performance That Impresses
The 2025 Ram 1500 isn’t just about looks and comfort—it’s also a beast on the road. During testing, the 2025 Ram 1500 Crew Cab Laramie 4x4 delivered outstanding performance, accelerating from 0 to 60 mph in just 5.0 seconds and completing a quarter-mile run in 13.7 seconds at 98.3 mph. These are sports car-like numbers for a full-size truck that weighs nearly three tons. The new twin-turbo engine provides smooth, consistent power, and the eight-speed automatic transmission shifts quickly and seamlessly, particularly in Sport mode.
Despite its size and power, the Ram 1500 maintains a smooth and composed ride, making it ideal for work and everyday driving. Whether you’re towing, hauling, or commuting, the Ram’s performance shines in every situation.
A Well-Rounded Package
Overall, the 2025 Ram 1500 builds on its legacy of toughness, comfort, and versatility, offering an impressive range of new features and upgrades. The addition of the new twin-turbo engines gives buyers more power and efficiency, while the redesigned exterior and upgraded interior ensure that the truck remains modern and comfortable. If you're looking for raw power, advanced tech features, or a smooth ride, the refreshed Ram 1500 delivers on all fronts.
With its combination of rugged capability and refined features, the 2025 Ram 1500 is a strong contender for anyone in the market for a full-size pickup truck. Whether for work, family, or adventure, the Ram 1500 continues to impress with its versatility, power, and smart design.
