The 2025 Ram 2500 continues to define expectations for the heavy-duty truck segment. Built with a focus on delivering powerful performance, high towing capacities, and a range of technologies designed to enhance daily function, the 2025 Ram 2500 remains a highly capable and practical solution. It offers configurations tailored for work, recreation, and everything in between. Through a selection of durable engines, advanced towing features, and an interior designed to handle long hauls and rough jobs, the 2025 Ram 2500 stands as a functional and adaptable option for drivers who demand consistent capability.
Engine Options Designed for Demanding Work
The 2025 Ram 2500 provides a choice between two robust engines, each configured to match specific work requirements. The standard 6.4-liter HEMI® V8 engine produces 405 horsepower and 429 lb-ft of torque. It uses an eight-speed automatic transmission that enables precise shift management and improved overall control.
For operations requiring higher torque output, the available 6.7-liter Cummins® Turbo Diesel I6 engine provides a notable advantage. Delivering 430 horsepower and 1,075 lb-ft of torque, this diesel engine supports greater towing capacities. It is paired with a new TorqueFlite® HD eight-speed automatic transmission built to manage the additional load stresses common to heavy-duty applications.
Towing and Payload Capabilities Engineered for Work
Performance metrics for the 2025 Ram 2500 reflect its emphasis on task-oriented functionality. When properly equipped, gas-powered models can achieve a maximum payload of 4,420 pounds. Diesel-powered configurations offer a maximum towing capacity of up to 20,000 pounds.
The truck is available with a Fifth-Wheel/Gooseneck Prep Package, which includes an in-bed mounting system integrated directly from the factory. This package optimizes load distribution and stability for heavier towing operations. Standard Class V hitch receivers and integrated trailer brake controllers enhance operational confidence and safety.
To simplify trailer handling, the 2025 Ram 2500 offers Trailer Reverse Steering Control. This system allows the driver to steer trailers more intuitively with a control knob while the vehicle manages steering inputs.
Interior Features Focused on Utility and Comfort
The 2025 Ram 2500 balances cabin durability with operational comfort across its range of trims. Interior materials are selected based on the intended use of the model. Lower trims prioritize easy-to-clean surfaces like heavy-duty vinyl floors and cloth upholstery. Higher trims offer 100 percent leather seating, real wood, and aluminum trim.
Functionality is emphasized through practical solutions such as configurable center consoles, under-seat storage compartments, and the available rear reclining seats in Mega Cab models. Higher trims offer heating and ventilation in the front seats, dual-zone automatic temperature control, and an available heated steering wheel to maintain driver focus and reduce fatigue during long operations.
