2025 RAM 1500

Pros: Best-in-class ride, handling and interior; silky-smooth and silent inline-six option; impressive infotainment; extra-comfy rear seats Cons: Prices can be shocking; max towing is below competitors; no more TRX The 2025 Ram 1500 goes through its first big overhaul in years, and it comes out a more refined, luxurious and more expensive version of itself than before. Eliminating the Hemi V8 is its biggest change, but thankfully the new Hurricane turbocharged inline-six is a lovely replacement that makes for an even quicker and more powerful truck. Of course, all the good that’s been present prior to the refresh carries over, which means the Ram is still the best-riding and plushest full-size pickup you can buy. Its interior looks great and is extremely functional to boot, with a wide array of luxurious options that now include the new Tungsten. It’s an absolute stunner, but it had better be at a nearly $90,000 starting price. More screens find their way into the cabin for 2025, and they all work well. A new hands-free highway driving assist feature is available for more relaxing long journeys. There’s even a new onboard power inverter similar to the Ford F-150’s that’ll let you plug things into the bed, though it’s lagging behind Ford in overall power. Despite the competition closing in on Ram over the last few years in terms of overall comfort and refinement, Ram again extends its lead in these areas with its 2025 refresh. We’re sad to see the supercharged TRX off-road monster go extinct, but a replacement is coming in the form of the RHO that should take the fight to Ford’s Raptor and Chevy’s ZR2. As always, the pickup competition remains fierce, and Ram’s advantages are largely the same as ever, keeping it our favorite full-size truck of all.

The 2025 Ram 1500 goes through a substantial refresh for 2025. Highlights include a new Hurricane inline-six replacing the old Hemi V8, fresh styling, larger and more digital screens in the cabin and the addition of the top-shelf Tungsten trim. You can read about these changes in detail in our first drive of the 2025 truck. What are the Ram 1500’s interior and in-car technology like? It's easy to be smitten by the Ram 1500 in its fanciest Tungsten (pictured above) trim level, which is bedecked in soft Natura leather, a special color scheme with gorgeous piping and stitching everywhere you look, trim-specific 28-way power/massaging seats and unique styling elements like the Tungsten VIN-numbered badge in the armrest. Its craftmanship verges on German luxury levels of ostentatiousness. The Tungsten, along with the also-beautiful Limited and Longhorn, are easily the most luxurious pickups ever made. Crucially, however, we are also impressed by the basic Ram 1500 Tradesman (pictured below) and Big Horn trim levels. While the quality of plastics is …
