The 2025 Dodge Ram lineup shows how Dodge Ram trucks continue to evolve, with new features across the Dodge Ram 1500, 2500, and 3500 models.
The 2025 Ram 1500 introduces a new Hurricane engine, more cabin refinement, and smarter utility features.
It’s a clear shift away from the old-school workhorse formula.
But depending on what you want from a truck, that might not be a bad thing.

Dodge Ram Trucks: From Workhorse to Daily Driver
Dodge Ram trucks began life in the early 1980s with a clear mission.
They were built to handle tough jobs without unnecessary frills.
Over time, the formula evolved into something more balanced.
Today’s models are just as much about comfort and tech as they are about capability.
Interior
The interior of the Ram 1500 feels more like an SUV than a traditional pickup.
Higher trims include digital displays, quality materials, and even seat massage functions.
It is clearly aimed at drivers who want utility without giving up comfort.
Whether or not that belongs in a truck is still up for debate.
Exterior
The Ram 1500 stays familiar in shape but updates key details.
Slight changes to the lights, grille, and trim give it a cleaner look.
The available RamBox Cargo Management System adds lockable, weatherproof storage to the bed sides.
It is a smart use of space but does reduce the width of the main bed.
How it drives
The new Ram 1500 feels calm and composed on the road.
Ride quality is smooth, especially with the optional air suspension.
Steering is light enough to make parking easy, even in tight spots.
It is far more refined than older Dodge Ram trucks used to be.
Performance and capability
The biggest shift in the Ram 1500 is the move to the Hurricane engine.
The new twin-turbo inline-six replaces the outgoing V8, producing up to 540 horsepower.
It delivers better fuel efficiency and stronger low-end power, but it does lose the V8 growl.
Some buyers will love the update while others may miss the old-school character.
Dodge Ram trucks are no longer just about brute force.
The Ram 1500 adds comfort, tech, and efficiency without dropping its core capability.
It is not trying to be everything to everyone, but it does cover more ground than before.
For drivers who want a practical truck with real-world versatility, it is a solid choice.
