The new 2025 Ram 1500 has officially arrived, and it’s not just a refresh – it’s a statement. Ram is pushing the boundaries of what a pickup truck can be, particularly in the realm of luxury and performance. With the introduction of the all-new, more powerful, and fuel-efficient Hurricane engine family and the ultra-premium Tungsten trim, the 2025 Ram 1500 is setting a new benchmark for upscale trucks, offering a no-compromise blend of capability, technology, and opulent comfort.
Unveiling the 2025 Ram 1500 Luxury: A New Era of Premium Trucks
For years, Ram has been recognized for its commitment to delivering trucks that are not only rugged and capable but also exceptionally refined. The 2025 Ram 1500 takes this reputation to new heights, especially with the introduction of the Tungsten trim. This model is specifically designed to cater to buyers who demand the very best – those who seek a pickup truck that can handle tough jobs but also provides a luxurious and sophisticated driving experience.
The Pinnacle of Luxury: Tungsten Trim
The Tungsten trim stands as the crown jewel of the 2025 Ram 1500 lineup. It’s more than just a trim level; it’s an elevated experience. Ram has meticulously crafted the Tungsten to exude opulence at every touchpoint. From the unique Indigo/Sea Salt interior color scheme to the platinum patina and semi-bright dual-textured metal accents with diamond knurling, the Tungsten trim is a masterclass in premium design.
Stepping inside the Tungsten is like entering a high-end luxury sedan. The suede-wrapped headliner, A- and B-pillars, and visors immediately elevate the cabin’s ambiance. The heated and ventilated premium quilted Natura Plus leather seats for the driver and front passenger are not just comfortable; they are a sanctuary. Featuring 24-way power adjustability, including memory settings, massage function, power lumbar support, and four-way powered headrests, these seats are designed for ultimate relaxation on long journeys or daily commutes.
Further enhancing the luxurious feel is the Tungsten badge on the center console, showcasing inlaid metal lettering and diamond knurling, proudly displaying the vehicle identification number (VIN). Brushed platinum patina aluminum litho bezels and a unique crystal-effect shifter center cap add subtle yet impactful details. Even the metal pedal kit contributes to the overall sense of high-end craftsmanship.
Exquisite Interior Craftsmanship
Beyond the Tungsten trim, the entire 2025 Ram 1500 lineup benefits from a renewed focus on interior luxury. Ram’s design team has prioritized authentic, premium materials that are both visually stunning and durable enough to withstand the rigors of truck use. Carbon-fiber, metal, and leather elements are strategically incorporated throughout the cabin, creating an environment that rivals luxury SUVs in terms of refinement and comfort.
Across different trims, unique interior enhancements further emphasize the luxury focus:
- Bighorn/Lone Star: Features a new Gridiron paint with laser etching decorative trim accents and new Gear Embossed seat insert accent material, offering a stylish and upscale feel even in these popular trims.
- Laramie: Showcases new Chevron film decorative trim accents and an optional Bison Brown/Sea Salt Gray two-tone interior, adding a touch of sophisticated color and texture.
- Limited Longhorn: Embraces the warmth of the new Barn Wood 45 open pore real wood veneer with an improved sawcut effect and is exclusively available with the all-new Bison Brown monochromatic interior, creating a rich and inviting atmosphere. Massaging front seats are also standard, further enhancing the luxury experience.
- Limited: Features new Black Ebony open pore real wood veneer decorative trim accents and an optional black/ebony red interior color package for a dramatic and opulent two-tone effect. Massaging front seats are also included, ensuring top-tier comfort.
These interior upgrades across the range demonstrate Ram’s commitment to providing a luxurious experience regardless of the chosen trim level. The 2025 Ram 1500 is designed to be a comfortable and refined space for both work and leisure.
Power and Performance Meets Refinement
Luxury in the 2025 Ram 1500 is not just about aesthetics and materials; it’s also about delivering a premium driving experience. The introduction of the Hurricane engine family is pivotal in this aspect, offering a new level of power and efficiency that complements the truck’s luxurious character.
The Revolutionary Hurricane Engine Family
The 2025 Ram 1500 debuts with the all-new 3.0-liter Hurricane Standard Output and High Output Straight-Six Turbo (SST) engines. These engines are part of the Stellantis Hurricane Twin-turbo family and represent a significant step forward in powertrain technology. They are engineered to deliver V-8 engine power with the enhanced fuel efficiency and reduced emissions of a six-cylinder.
The standard 3.0-liter Hurricane engine produces an impressive 420 horsepower and 469 lb.-ft. of torque, providing ample power for everyday driving and towing tasks. For those seeking even more performance, the 3.0-liter Hurricane High Output engine cranks out a remarkable 540 horsepower and 521 lb.-ft. of torque, making it the most powerful six-cylinder in the segment. This engine will also power the upcoming Ram 1500 RHO, further emphasizing its performance credentials.
Despite their impressive power figures, the Hurricane engines are designed with efficiency in mind. Advanced technologies such as low-inertia, high-flow turbochargers, plasma transfer wire arc cylinder bore coating, high-pressure direct fuel injection, and an engine-mounted water-to-air charge cooler contribute to both performance and fuel economy. These engines are paired with a TorqueFlite eight-speed automatic transmission, ensuring smooth and responsive gear changes that further enhance the driving experience.
Smooth Ride and Handling
The 2025 Ram 1500 continues to excel in ride quality, a crucial aspect of luxury vehicles. It boasts a class-leading ride and handling thanks to its double wishbone front suspension and five-link solid rear axle. The available segment-exclusive active-level four-corner air suspension further elevates the ride experience, offering five different modes: entry/exit, aero, normal, off-road 1, and off-road 2. This air suspension not only provides a supremely comfortable ride on paved roads but also enhances off-road capability and allows for easy entry and exit.
The new high-torque rear axle, available on models equipped with the Hurricane H/O engine, further enhances durability and performance while maintaining a refined driving experience. Whether navigating city streets or tackling rugged terrain, the 2025 Ram 1500 delivers a composed and comfortable ride that is expected in a luxury vehicle.
Cutting-Edge Technology for a Luxurious Experience
Modern luxury is inextricably linked to technology, and the 2025 Ram 1500 is packed with the latest innovations to enhance convenience, entertainment, and safety.
Advanced Uconnect 5 System
At the heart of the 2025 Ram 1500’s technology suite is the advanced Uconnect 5 system. This system is more intuitive, faster, and more connected than ever before. Drivers will appreciate the improved 12-inch touchscreen with higher resolution or the new, massive 14.5-inch reconfigurable touchscreen display, the largest in its class. Both screens feature Full Array Local Dimming technology for superior contrast and clarity. The split-screen capability allows for dual application operation, enhancing multitasking.
A segment-first 10.25-inch passenger screen adds another layer of luxury and functionality. This screen offers co-pilot features (navigation, device management), entertainment via HDMI input, and the ability to view exterior vehicle cameras, providing the front passenger with their own interactive experience.
The Uconnect 5 system is powered by the advanced Atlantis electrical architecture, which boasts operating speeds five times faster than the previous generation, resulting in lightning-quick response times. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard, ensuring seamless smartphone integration.
Innovative Driver-Assistance Features
The 2025 Ram 1500 offers a comprehensive suite of driver-assistance technologies designed to enhance safety and reduce driver fatigue. Available Hands-free Driving Assist provides Level 2+ (L2+) automated driving capability, allowing for hands-off driving and lane centering on approved roadways. This system predictively slows the vehicle for curves and automatically resumes control after driver override, all while ensuring the driver is paying attention to the road.
Active Driving Assist, a Level 2 automated driving capability, is also available, offering hands-on-wheel and eyes-on-road automated driving using lane centering with adaptive cruise control. These advanced systems highlight Ram’s commitment to incorporating cutting-edge technology into its trucks.

The iconic Ram grille is available in eight unique interpretations, catering to diverse customer preferences. A prominent new R-A-M badge further enhances the truck’s bold stance.
