Will the 2025 Ram 1500 be redesigned?
For 2025, the Ram 1500 gets a major refresh. Though not quite a redesign, this major overhaul includes a new engine lineup, an all-new luxury trim model, and updated tech features. Outside, the Ram 1500 gets a handsome new exterior design, along with new wheel designs and exterior color options like Delmonico Red and Diamond Black.
Inside, these trucks now include a bigger standard touchscreen, up from 8.4 inches to 12 inches. A new 10.3-inch passenger-side screen is also available. Your favorite side-seat driver can use it to play music, watch movies, or send navigation instructions to the central touchscreen.
A brand new trim model, the Tungsten, will be available in late 2024. This new high-end Ram truck takes luxury to the max, with quilted-leather seats, front-seat massage settings, and a premium 23-speaker Klipsch sound system.
What’s the deal with the new 2024 Ram 1500 Hurricane i6?
The biggest news for 2025 is about the Ram’s new twin-turbo inline six-cylinder engine, known as the Hurricane. There are two versions available, the regular Hurricane and the high-output version. Both are stronger than the outgoing HEMI V8! The standard version of this new 3.0-liter twin-turbo inline-six makes 420 horsepower, a 25-horsepower upgrade compared to the outgoing V8. The high-output version of the Hurricane engine is even stronger, with 540 horses — a 145-horsepower increase compared to the HEMI V8!
Like last year’s truck, the 2025 Ram 1500 also comes standard with a 3.6-liter V6 engine and eTorque mild hybrid system, helping you earn up to 23 mpg combined (20 city/26 highway). Each Ram engine is paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission. Rear-wheel drive is standard for the Ram, but four-wheel drive is widely available!
Choose from these 2025 Ram 1500 powertrain options:
- 3.6L V6 (305 horsepower, 269 lb-ft)
- 3.0L Hurricane twin-turbo inline six-cylinder engine (420 hp, 469 lb-ft)

Is the new Ram 1500 engine reliable?
While the Hurricane i6 is new to the Ram 1500, it’s already gained a reputation for reliability, thanks to its performance in the Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer. And unlike some other automakers we could name, Ram is known for carefully testing new powertrains before adopting them! Not only can you count on the twin-turbo Hurricane i6 to deliver the strong performance you crave, but you’ll also enjoy the added safety net of Ram’s five-year/60,000-mile limited powertrain warranty!
