At Zappone Chrysler Jeep Dodge in Granville, NY, we’re thrilled to share that the 2025 RAM 1500 has been named MotorTrend’s Truck of the Year! While its exterior may appear to have undergone only a minor refresh, the enhancements beneath the surface are nothing short of transformative. This year’s model advances the art of the half-ton pickup, setting new standards in performance, design, and functionality.
A Clean Sweep for RAM
In a fiercely competitive field, the 2025 RAM 1500 emerged victorious against rivals, including cutting-edge electric trucks and revamped midsize options. The verdict? RAM’s innovative engineering and refined performance outshined the competition.
Innovative Powertrains
At the heart of the 2025 RAM 1500 is the new Hurricane straight-six turbo engine. Available in both standard-output (420 hp, 469 lb-ft) and high-output (540 hp, 521 lb-ft) variants, this engine replaces the iconic Hemi V-8, delivering improved power, efficiency, and handling. With a lighter all-aluminum build, the Hurricane engine enhances the RAM 1500’s agility while maintaining its legendary towing and hauling capabilities.
Performance enthusiasts will appreciate the RHO model, which offers high-output power and exceptional off-road prowess. Meanwhile, the Tungsten model combines this new engine technology with unparalleled luxury, proving that you no longer have to choose between power and refinement.
Unmatched Technology
The 2025 RAM 1500 is as tech-savvy as it is powerful. Highlights include:
- Hands-Free Active Driving Assist: Available on Tungsten and higher trims, this feature allows for hands-free driving on over 125,000 miles of divided highways.
- Expanded Screen Real Estate: The segment-first 10.3-inch passenger screen complements the 14.5-inch vertical display, 12.3-inch digital cluster, and 10.0-inch head-up display for an immersive, connected experience.
- Next-Level Audio: The Tungsten trim debuts a 1,228-watt, 23-speaker Klipsch Reference Premiere audio system, delivering unmatched sound quality.
Utility Meets Versatility
From its impressive towing capacity (up to 11,600 pounds) to thoughtful features like the RAMBox storage system, multifunction tailgate, and air suspension, the 2025 RAM 1500 is built to tackle any task. Whether you’re hauling materials to a job site or heading out for a weekend adventure, this truck has you covered.
Luxury Redefined
RAM continues to push boundaries in interior design. The available Tungsten trim elevates the experience with carbon-fiber accents, premium stitching, and 24-way adjustable massaging seats. As MotorTrend noted, it’s hard to find a more comfortable, refined ride in any half-ton truck.
