Ram’s full-size pickup gets a significant update for 2025 including new technologies and a new luxury model called Tungsten. Fans of the HEMI V8 will be disappointed to learn that it has been replaced by a twin-turbocharged inline six-cylinder engine, although the latter generates more power (420 hp or 540 hp). Returning as the standard engine is the 3.6-litre Pentastar V6. Maximum towing capacity by engine ranges from 7,540 lbs to 11,430 lbs. The Ram 1500 is known for offering superior comfort.
