2025 Dodge RAM 1500 has hit the roads, and it’s ready to rule as the King of the Hills! This full-size pickup truck blends power, style, and cutting-edge tech, making it a top choice for truck lovers. Whether you’re hauling heavy loads or cruising through rough terrains, the new RAM 1500 promises an exciting ride. Let’s dive into its price, specs, features, and everything you need to know.
Pricing: Affordable Power
The 2025 RAM 1500 starts at a base price of $40,275, making it competitive with rivals like the Ford F-150 and Chevy Silverado 1500. The range-topping Tungsten trim, loaded with luxury, kicks off at around $89,170. Depending on the trim and options, you might pay $2,500 to $7,000 less than the MSRP, according to Kelley Blue Book’s Fair Purchase Price. For those eyeing a deal, special APR offers like 1.9% for 72 months are available at select dealers until September 30, 2025.
Engine Options: Power Meets Efficiency
The 2025 RAM 1500 says goodbye to the V8, introducing a twin-turbocharged 3.0L Hurricane inline-six engine in two flavors. The standard version pumps out 420 horsepower and 469 lb-ft of torque, while the high-output version delivers a jaw-dropping 540 horsepower and 521 lb-ft of torque. For budget buyers, a 3.6L V6 with a mild-hybrid system offers 305 horsepower and 269 lb-ft of torque. All engines pair with a smooth 8-speed automatic transmission, ensuring power and decent fuel economy—up to 20 mpg city and 26 mpg highway.
Off-Road King: The RHO Trim
The RAM 1500 RHO is the star for off-road fans, replacing the legendary TRX. Powered by the high-output Hurricane engine, it boasts 540 horsepower, hitting 60 mph in just 4.6 seconds. With 35-inch off-road tires, Bilstein shocks, and nine drive modes (like Mud/Sand, Rock, and Baja), it’s built to conquer any terrain. Features like LED headlamps, dual exhausts, and two front tow hooks make it a beast on trails. The RHO’s aggressive grille and rugged stance scream performance.
Luxury and Tech: A Class Apart
Inside, the 2025 RAM 1500 is a tech haven. The base model sports a 12-inch touchscreen, while higher trims offer a massive 14.5-inch display—the largest in its class. A 10.3-inch passenger-side screen is optional, perfect for navigation or entertainment. The Tungsten trim pampers with quilted-leather seats, massaging front seats, and a 23-speaker Klipsch stereo. Safety features include adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring, and partial self-driving tech. The Uconnect system ensures seamless smartphone integration.
Towing and Payload
The RAM 1500 handles up to 11,580 pounds of towing and a 2,370-pound payload, though it trails competitors like the Ford F-150 (13,500 pounds towing). For more towing power, consider the Ramcharger plug-in hybrid, which pulls up to 14,000 pounds. The truck’s coil spring suspension delivers a smooth ride, unlike the leaf springs in rival trucks.
