Ram 1500 Was Crowned MotorTrend’s 2025 Truck of the Year
In December 2024, MotorTrend named the Ram 1500 the 2025 Truck of the Year, and the reasons are still turning heads:
- Refreshed design with a more aggressive and aerodynamic stance.
- Class-leading ride comfort thanks to coil-spring suspension.
- Game-changing power with the new Hurricane twin-turbo inline-six engines.
- A tech-loaded interior that rivals many luxury SUVs.
Powertrain That Punches Above Its Weight
Ram didn’t just give the 1500 a facelift – they reengineered the heart of it:
Standard-output Hurricane: 420 horsepower, 469 lb-ft of torque
High-output Hurricane SST: A whooping 540 horsepower, 521 lb-ft of torque
Whether you’re towing, hauling, or just enjoying the daily drive, this powertrain lineup delivers performance without compromise.
Smarter Inside and Out
Technology got a major upgrade in 2025, including:
- A massive 14.5″ touchscreen with Uconnect 5.
- Digital instrument cluster and available head-up display.
- Hands-free driving tech (coming soon in some trims).
- Enhanced safety features like adaptive cruise, lane centering, and more.
Smooth Ride – Even When It’s Tough Work
What separates Ram from the competition? It’s not just brute strength – it’s refined strength. Thanks to a class-exclusive coil-spring rear suspension (and optional air suspension), the Ram 1500 doesn’t just tow – it glides.
Why It Matters (Still)
The title wasn’t a one-week headline. It’s a stamp of approval that holds weight with truck buyers, enthusiasts, and experts alike.
Ram didn’t win because of one standout feature – it won because it delivers across the board.
