The New 2025 Ram 2500

Many of our clients ask us about the Ram 2500 towing capacity and immediately want to know the Ram 2500 payload capacity. It depends on the engine you choose. Let's look at the diesel vs gas Ram options.

The first option this year is the gas-powered 6.4L HEMI V8 Engine with 405 horsepower and 429 lb-ft of torque. That will net you a towing capacity of 17,750 lbs and handle 4,420 lbs in the bed.

If you're looking for more power, the diesel engine is another of our many fuel-efficient truck options. This year, we see the addition of Cummins diesel performance to the lineup. And that brings us to the Best Ram for towing. Generating 430 horsepower and 1,075 lb-ft of torque (the best in its class,) the High-Output 6.7L Cummins Turbo Diesel I6 is what you want if you plan to pull heavy loads. With this option, you can tow up to a staggering 36,610 pounds.

Next, let's look at the 2500's off-road truck capabilities. It comes with a host of features that make it better than its competitors, such as heavy-duty four-wheel disc antilock brakes. An Automatic Smart Exhaust Brake is also available for diesel engines. When pressure is removed from the accelerator pedal, it kicks in and slows the truck down. The 2500 also boasts the Largest-in-Class available fuel tank capacity of 50 gallons

The interior is fancier than you'd expect, with accents made of real wood and aluminum. The premium Ram interior continues with Bison Brown leather on the new 2025 Ram 2500 Limited Longhorn. You can also opt for Vinyl or cloth seats. Either way, power adjustments and heating functionality improve comfort.

The cabin offers 60.7 cubic feet of maximum cargo volume. If your cabin has bench seats, you can use the 40/20/40 split-folding bench. If it has Captain's Chairs, the second-row seats fold and tumble in a 60/40 split.

The massive center console is big enough to place your laptop on and turn the interior into a mobile office.

The 2025 model brings two new colors to the table: Forged Blue Metallic and Molten Red. Many fan-favorite features are back, such as power side running boards, an available Mopar® bed step, and a dampened tailgate with available power release.

The Mopar Sport Performance Hood enhances its appearance, but beyond that, it remains a work truck with plenty of functionality. Power Convex Trailer Tow Mirrors and RamBox cargo management system provide 57.5 cubic feet of pickup box cargo volume. You also have a 2kW onboard power inverter.

A big change for this year is the new trim-specific front fascias and grille. The LED headlamps also changed slightly.

When it comes to heavy-duty truck technology, nobody does it better than RAM. It improved on last year's model with a larger 14.5-inch infotainment touchscreen, the largest in its class. Even the base 12-inch touchscreen with UConnect is bigger than previous models.

Passengers get a 10.25-inch Passenger Interactive Display. With it, they can control things like music, which will come out of the 900-watt Harman Kardon Premium Audio System with 17 speakers. With the Interior Active Noise Cancellation System, your drives never sound better!

Other features are there to make your work life easier, such as the digital rearview mirror and trailer-tow pages system. Technology also plays a role in the 2025 truck safety features. New standard safety features include adaptive cruise control and Forward Collision Warning.

First up, we have the Tradesman: a no-frills, down-to-earth trim that does what it was made to do. It has Vinyl bench seats that are easy to clean and ideal for the worksite.

Cruise control and features like Coil Link Rear Suspension and available 50-gallon Fuel Tank come standard. The exterior includes Heavy-Duty Suspension LED headlamps and fog lights. The 17-inch black steel wheels and black front tow hooks match perfectly.

The Big Horn wheels gain an inch and transform into a polished cast aluminum style. This model is recognizable by the chrome bumpers and grille it adds, as well as the badging that sports its name.

The interior doesn't change much apart from the cloth seats and bigger center console. As for safety, you get access to the ParkSense front and rear park assist.

If you want to try out the diesel engine, this is the first trim level that allows you to do so. It also brings much-needed luxury features to the cabin. You get a leather-wrapped steering wheel and darker interior accents.

The seats become genuine leather with 8-way power adjustability and 2-way lumbar support. Comfort is further enhanced with dual-zone automatic climate control. Outside, you'll find the Laramie badge in all its pride and red tail lamp bezels. There's also a universal garage opener on this trim.

The Rebel brings a new spin to the truck with massive 20-inch Black Diamond wheels and all-terrain tires. The Bilstein Gas-Charged Shocks and Five-Link Coil Rear Suspension improve its off-road prowess as well.

The WARN ZEON-12 Winch is ready for any situation. As for style, you'll love the Mopar Sports Performance Hood. Inside the cabin, the seats get an embossed tread pattern, and the driver enjoys a 12-inch Digital Cluster Display.

The Limited Longhorn is inspired by the American Deep South, as made evident by its barn wood accents inside the cabin. We finally get to see the 14-inch touchscreen and 10.25-passenger display on this trim.

The Harman Kardon Audio system is also standard, as are the rain-sensing wipers. Other features include LED Bed Lighting and a unique grille.

We begin our Ram Power Wagon review by stating the obvious: this trim is ideal for those who want more power. You'll see it right away thanks to the Power Wagon decals by Mopar on its body.

With 33-inch Goodyear off-roading tires, it can take you anywhere at any time. It adds an electronic disconnecting front sway bar and Powder-coated bumpers on either side of the truck. The Deployable Bed-Step by Mopar makes access easy.

Our final trim level is the Limited, which has premium leather seats with real wood and aluminum accents. Dual wireless charging pads and memory systems make life easier. It gives you a truck bed cargo divider and additional safety features like Blind Spot Monitoring with Rear Cross Path and Trailer Detection.

According to the various Truck reliability ratings, it's clear that the 2025 Ram 2500 is a winning choice for anybody in need of a modern heavy-duty pickup. Come look at the Valor truck inventory and schedule a test drive today!
