Ram’s 2025 Heavy Duty Pickup Truck Unveiled: What to Expect
Ram is currently putting prototypes of its updated Heavy Duty pickup truck through their paces, revealing early glimpses of the significant redesigns. Slated for release later this year as a 2025 model, the updated truck flaunts new lighting configurations at both ends, complemented by a revamped grille that boasts additional slats and integrates a large sensor at its base. The Rebel Heavy Duty version takes a step further with a unique combination of vertical and horizontal slats, enhancing its rugged aesthetic.
Significant Overhaul Since 2019
While Ram has not divulged extensive details, it’s clear that these updates mark the most substantial changes since the Heavy Duty model debuted in 2019. Automotive enthusiasts and potential buyers can expect notable enhancements both externally and internally.
Interior Insights from the 2025 Ram 1500
A peek into the updated 2025 Ram 1500 offers clues to the interior upgrades in the Heavy Duty model. The 1500 variant is equipped with a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster, a 14.5-inch portrait-style infotainment display, and an optional 10.3-inch front passenger screen available on higher-end trims. These technological advancements are likely to be mirrored in the Heavy Duty lineup, ensuring an upgraded user experience.
Engine Dynamics: The V-8 Legacy Continues
Despite Stellantis’s move to phase out V-8 engines across its brands, the updated Heavy Duty is expected to retain its robust powertrain. The current model’s 6.4-liter V-8 engine delivers 410 hp and 429 lb-ft of torque, paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission. This combination promises continued performance excellence.
Diesel Alternative: Power and Efficiency
For those who prefer diesel, the 6.7-liter turbodiesel inline-6 from Cummins provides a solid alternative. This engine, coupled with a 6-speed automatic transmission, offers 370 hp and an impressive 850 lb-ft of torque in its standard form. The high-output variant boosts these figures to 420 hp and a staggering 1,075 lb-ft, ensuring formidable towing and payload capabilities.
Towing and Payload Capacities
The current Ram Heavy Duty can tow up to 37,090 pounds and carry a payload of up to 7,680 pounds, depending on its configuration. The updated model is expected to maintain similar, if not enhanced, capabilities, continuing Ram’s legacy of delivering powerful and dependable trucks.
Conclusion: Anticipate a Game-Changer
The 2025 Ram Heavy Duty pickup promises to elevate the brand’s standing with significant styling upgrades, technological enhancements, and robust engine options. Stay tuned for more updates as Ram continues to refine and perfect this much-anticipated model.
