Stellantis in Auburn Hills debuted the new 2025 Ram 1500, which features an all-new 3.0-liter Hurricane engine designed to give the Ram lineup even more standard power, more performance, and improved fuel efficiency.
Built in Sterling Heights, the 2025 Ram 1500 is scheduled to arrive in dealerships in the first quarter of 2024. Pricing will be announced closer to when the 2025 Ram 1500 goes on sale.
“The new 2025 Ram 1500 brings our customers more: more power, more performance and more fuel efficiency with our all-new 3.0-liter Hurricane engines,” says Tim Kuniskis, CEO of the Ram brand for Stellantis. “With a choice of new and proven gas engines or our upcoming electric truck offerings, Ram is built to serve truck buyers everywhere. Our new powertrain offerings add to the unique combination of bold styling, leading-edge innovation and technology, durability and capability Ram customers have come to know and love.”
The 2025 Ram 1500 offers customers three engine options, including the all-new 3.0-liter Hurricane and 3.0-liter Hurricane High Output (H/O) Straight-Six Turbo (SST) engines from the Stellantis Hurricane twin-turbo family. These engines were designed to be the most powerful six cylinders in the segment. Buyers also can choose the 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 eTorque edition.
The all-new 3.0-liter Hurricane engine is rated at 420 horsepower and 469 lb.-ft. of torque, while the H/O engine is rated at 540 horsepower and 521 lb.-ft. of torque. Capability includes a maximum towing capacity of 11,580 pounds, a maximum payload of 2,300 pounds and up to 24 inches of water fording.
An all-new, ultra-premium Tungsten model joins the 2025 Ram 1500 lineup, which also includes Tradesman, Big Horn/Lone Star, Laramie, Rebel, Limited Longhorn, and Limited models.
The Ram lineup will offer customers gas, hybrid, and electric vehicle options. Ram is committed to innovation and powertrain leadership with a lineup that consists of anything and everything truck buyers want and need.
In addition to the upcoming gas-powered Ram 1500, Ram will offer an all-electric 2025 Ram 1500 REV electric truck engine. It should be available in the fourth quarter of 2024, with an all-new hybrid Ram 1500 Ramcharger, featuring even more range, to follow.
Ram 1500 is part of Ram’s contribution to Stellantis’ Dare Forward 2030 strategic plan to deliver innovative, clean, safe, and affordable mobility solutions. Reducing greenhouse gas emissions is a key element of the Stellantis Dare Forward 2030 strategic plan. The company is committed to cut its carbon footprint by 50 percent by 2030, all while achieving net carbon zero by 2038.
The 2025 Ram 1500 offers the all-new 3.0-liter Hurricane Standard Output and H/O engines. These new engines, members of the Stellantis Hurricane twin-turbo family and the most powerful six cylinders in the segment, deliver enhanced fuel economy and fewer emissions while generating more horsepower and torque than other naturally aspirated V-8 and boosted six-cylinder engines in the light-duty segment.
The all-new 3.0-liter Hurricane engines join the 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 in the Ram 1500 lineup. All three engine options offered with the 2025 Ram 1500 are paired with a TorqueFlite eight-speed automatic transmission that optimizes smooth shift changes for fuel economy, performance, and drivability.
The foundation of the Hurricane engine is a deep-skirt cast-aluminum block with a structural aluminum alloy oil pan. The strongest Ram engine ever uses cross-bolted steel main bearing caps to contain the strong rotating assembly of a forged steel crankshaft and forged steel connecting rods. During manufacturing the block is deck-plate honed to optimize the cylinder bore shape, which helps improve fuel efficiency.
Stellantis propulsion system engineers employed state-of-the-art technologies to deliver reduced emissions and attain big-engine power, including:
- Two low-inertia, high-flow turbochargers, optimized for each engine, feed three cylinders for rapid response to throttle inputs.
- Plasma transfer wire arc (spray bore) coating in the cylinder bores for an ultra-thin, low-friction wear surface.
- High-pressure (5,075 psi/350 bar) direct fuel injection.
- Engine-mounted water-to-air charge cooler with a dedicated cooling circuit.
The 3.0-liter Hurricane engines are produced at Stellantis’ Saltillo Engine Plant in Mexico.
The 2025 Ram 1500 features a new high-torque rear axle to further enhance ride quality for trucks equipped with the 3.0-liter Hurricane H/O engine. Available in 2WD or 4WD, a traditional open or limited-slip differential automatically divides torque among the rear wheels to maximize traction available at each wheel. An available electronic locking rear differential gives the driver the ability to lock or unlock the differential on demand, providing enhanced traction to the vehicle when needed.
Ram is part of the portfolio of brands offered by leading global automaker and mobility provider Stellantis. For more information regarding Stellantis, please visit www.stellantis.com.
