Last week, I traveled to Austin, Texas to drive the 2025 Ram 1500 lineup. Today, the embargo on drive impressions and pricing lifted. Unfortunately, while I came home with lots of seat time in the Ram half-ton pickups, I also came home with the worst flu I’ve had in my entire life, so I am a bit behind schedule. We will post reviews of the 2025 Ram 1500 trucks soon, but in the meantime, this is the basic pricing structure for the new pickups.
2025 Ram 1500 with V6 and eTorque
First up, we have the 2025 Ram 1500 pickups in Tradesman and Big Horn/Lone Star trim, which are powered by the returning 3.6-liter Pentastar eTorque V6. The eTorque delivers 315 horsepower and 269 lb-ft of torque with help from an electric motor that provides extra torque during low-end acceleration and in passing situations. This is an unexpected increase over the 2023 models, which were rated at 305 hp.
The work-ready Ram Tradesman (above) starts at $40,275 while the Big Horn (or Lone Star if you are buying it in Texas) starts at $44,935 – plus the $1,995 destination fee for all prices mentioned here. The destination fee is unchanged from 2024. The truck has had a mild ($855) price increase; the 2024 Ram 1500 Tradesman lists for $39,420 on the Ram site. However, it is better equipped overall.
2025 Ram 1500 with the Standard Output Hurricane Inline-6
Next up, we have the 2025 Ram 1500 Rebel and Laramie, both of which come standard with the twin turbocharged 3.0-liter Hurricane inline-6. This engine offers 420 horsepower and 469 lb-ft of torque, a substantial boost over the 5.7 Hemi.
The 2025 Ram 1500 Rebel (above) comes outfitted for serious off-road work and a starting price of $64,195. The Laramie models, which are a light luxury package, start at $60,030. The 2024 Ram 1500 Laramie was cheaper (starting at $54,635), but came with the V6, not the current high-power I-6. To get the 5.7 V8, buyers had to put down another $3,045 ($57,680) and got 395 hp (rather than 420) and 410 lb-ft (rather than 469). The Ram 1500 from 2024 to 2025 isn’t a direct comparison.
2025 Ram 1500 with the High Output Hurricane Inline-6
Finally (for now), we have the 2025 Ram 1500 premium models – Limited Longhorn, Limited and Tungsten – all of which come with the high output 3.0-liter Hurricane inline-6. This engine delivers an awesome combination of 540 horsepower and 521 lb-ft of torque, making this one of the most powerful half-ton engines on the market. This would replace the 6.4 liter SRT Hemi V8, except those were simply not available in the 2024 Ram 1500 lineup.
The 2025 Ram 1500 Limited Longhorn starts at $75,650, the Limited models begin at $75,155 and the ultra-premium Tungsten (above) models start at $87,155. These are pricier than the 2024s—for example, the 2024 Ram 1500 Limited started at $61,395 plus destination—but they come with an extra 235 hp and 252 lb-ft of torque. That’s an entire engine’s worth of power boost.
Stay tuned for our experiences behind the wheel of various 2025 Ram 1500 pickup trucks.
