2025 Ram 2500 near Greenville, SC

The 2025 Ram 2500 introduces a combination of refined engineering, expanded capability, and advanced technology. This heavy-duty truck is designed to deliver strong towing and hauling performance, improved efficiency, and precise handling while integrating upgraded safety systems and modern connectivity. With a bold new design and innovations across the drivetrain, chassis, and cabin, the model sets a technical benchmark in its class.

Powertrain and Transmission Advancements

The 2025 Ram 2500 offers two advanced powertrain configurations engineered for capability and durability. The 6.7-liter Cummins® High-Output Turbo Diesel produces 430 horsepower with a best-in-class 1,075 pound-feet of torque. This output is delivered consistently across all gears, supported by the newly engineered TorqueFlite HD eight-speed automatic transmission. The pairing delivers improved drivability, stronger towing, and smoother acceleration, with tested 0 to 60 mph performance reduced to 6.9 seconds compared to the 8.0 seconds of the previous model year.

For customers preferring gas power, the 6.4-liter HEMI® V-8 produces 405 horsepower and 429 pound-feet of torque. This engine is designed for responsive acceleration and heavy payload handling, with a maximum capacity of 7,590 pounds. Both engine options utilize the new electronic column shifter linked to the eight-speed automatic transmission. The system is engineered to adjust performance depending on vehicle load, allowing smooth second-gear starts when unladen and maintaining strength for full-load conditions.

Heavy-Duty Towing and Hauling

Towing is a defining element of the 2025 Ram 2500. With the Cummins® High-Output Turbo Diesel, the truck delivers a maximum towing capacity of 36,610 pounds, previously only achievable with a less efficient 4.10 axle ratio. The upgraded 3.42 axle ratio now provides the same capability with improved efficiency. For conventional hitch towing, the 2025 Ram 2500 supports up to 23,000 pounds, making it suitable for demanding work and transport needs.

Trailer reverse guidance offers a single screen view of both trailer sides to simplify maneuvering. The Trailer-Tow Pages system provides monitoring information such as brake status, light checks, tire pressure data, and auxiliary camera integration. Power telescoping trailer tow mirrors improve sightlines, while trailer reverse steering control allows drivers to guide trailers using a dial, leaving the system to manage steering input.

Structural Engineering and Engine Refinements

The Cummins® Turbo Diesel in the 2025 Ram 2500 benefits from several structural updates aimed at performance, reliability, and serviceability. A redesigned block and head, upgraded heavy-duty pistons, larger intake and exhaust valves, and a performance intake manifold enhance airflow and combustion efficiency. A higher-pressure fuel system improves delivery and durability. Cold-weather operation is supported with glow plugs, while new helical transmission gears reduce noise, vibration, and harshness.

Service efficiency is also improved with top-feed injectors, integrated fuel filters, and optimized intake port geometry. The balance between improved port flow and structural robustness demonstrates the technical progression of the Cummins® platform in the 2025 Ram 2500.

Exterior Redesign and Functional Details

The 2025 Ram 2500 incorporates a refreshed exterior with practical updates. A new grille design, distinct by trim level, delivers a stronger presence. Standard LED headlights and taillamps enhance visibility and longevity, with premium projector lamps available for higher trims. Functional details such as improved wheel designs and available taillamps with Blind-spot Monitoring add both safety and style.

The RamBox® Cargo Management System remains a class-exclusive feature, integrating lockable, weatherproof, and drainable storage within the bed rails. The system includes interior illumination and a 115-volt outlet for added utility. Optional dividers and adjustable cleats expand cargo organization capabilities.

Integrated Technology and Connectivity

Inside the cabin, the 2025 Ram 2500 incorporates significant upgrades in digital connectivity. The Uconnect® 5 system features a new 14.5-inch touchscreen, capable of split-screen functionality for simultaneous use of navigation, cameras, or media applications. A 12-inch screen remains available, both equipped with Full Array Local Dimming technology for improved contrast and clarity.

The passenger experience is enhanced with a segment-first 10.25-inch screen. This display supports co-pilot functions such as navigation, device management, and camera views. It also offers entertainment functions through HDMI input, transforming the screen into an extension of a connected phone or tablet. These screens operate on the Atlantis electrical architecture, delivering speeds five times faster than previous generations with near-instant response to user input.

Additional technology features include an available fully digital rearview mirror with tow mode, class-exclusive dual wireless phone charging, and enhanced connectivity ports designed for quick access. An on-board power inverter delivers up to 2.4 kilowatts, activated through the touchscreen and located conveniently in the truck bed with two covered outlets.

Safety Systems and Driver Assistance

The 2025 Ram 2500 is equipped with advanced safety features to support both daily driving and towing operations. Adaptive cruise control, Forward Collision Warning-Plus, and ParkSense® front and rear park assist are included on select trims. Active Lane Management works with Lane Keep Assist to provide corrective steering, while new Traffic Sign Recognition ensures compliance with posted limits. Drowsy Driver Detection offers alerts for fatigue management, reinforcing safety on long drives.

Camera-based systems further strengthen safety. The 360-degree surround-view camera integrates trailer guidance for comprehensive visibility, while auxiliary cameras can be positioned in and behind trailers for custom monitoring.

Interior Design and Driving Comfort

The interior of the 2025 Ram 2500 emphasizes function and driver confidence. A 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster provides nearly two dozen menu options, displaying data on driver-assist technologies, trailer performance, and navigation. Seating, storage, and material upgrades across trims create a comfortable working environment without compromising durability. Noise and vibration improvements from the redesigned engine components and transmission gearing further contribute to a smoother driving experience.

Ride quality is reinforced by model's engineering focus on suspension design. The solid rear axle and optimized chassis dynamics provide both load stability and handling precision.

Configurations and Trim Availability

The 2025 Ram 2500 is offered in multiple trims designed to meet a wide range of operator needs. Available models include Tradesman®, Big Horn®, Lone Star, Laramie®, Rebel, Power Wagon®, Limited Longhorn®, and Limited. Each configuration integrates the updated grille and lighting design while providing varied combinations of technology, comfort, and utility to match specific work and lifestyle requirements.
