When you need a full-size pickup that’s built to perform, you’ll love the capability and dependability of the 2025 Ram 1500. See what we love on the new Ram 1500 below and where to find our dealership for a test drive.
1. MotorTrend’s Truck of the Year
The Ram 1500 was selected as MotorTrend Magazine’s Truck of the Year for 2025 after a detailed evaluation of its performance, steering, and hauling capabilities. This year makes it the seventh time the magazine has chosen a Ram pickup truck for this distinguished award. It was also rated five stars for side impact crash survivability by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
2. 3.6L V6 24V VVT eTorque Engine with Stop/Start
The Ram 1500 takes power seriously with its standard 3.6L Pentastar V6 eTorque engine. This behemoth starts off strong with advanced stop/start technology and wide-range variable valve timing that work together to pack an impressive punch.
Then, the engine maximizes efficiency by using the stop/start feature to limit fuel intake and turn the motor off whenever you engage the brakes. When you release the brake pedal, the truck resumes normal function. The Ram 1500’s transmission is an 850RE (GEN 2) TorqueFlite eight-speed automatic, which altogether gives you a formidable 305 horsepower and 269 lb-ft. of torque.
3. Tows Like a Dream
You can haul almost anything with the Ram 1500 thanks to a maximum payload of 2,370 lbs. and a maximum towing capacity of 8,110 lbs. when properly equipped. The high-strength 98% steel frame lends a hand to the Ram 1500’s towing prowess, as does the standard 3.55 rear axle ratio. You also get a standard seven-pin wiring harness and a Class IV receiver hitch that allow you to hook up trailers with ease.

- ParkView rear back-up camera
