2025 Ram 2500: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The 2025 Ram 2500 gets a major mid-cycle refresh, not a full redesign. The headline change is its revised high-output 6.7-liter Cummins diesel, which makes 430 horsepower and 1,075 lb-ft of torque and is paired with a new eight-speed automatic.
About the 2025 Ram 2500
5th generation Ram Heavy Duty (introduced for 2019), mid-cycle refresh year.
Ram positions the 2500 as the heavy-duty pickup for buyers who need serious towing and hauling ability but do not want to live with a stripped-down work truck feel every day. Its core pitch is big torque, strong trailer capability, a smoother ride than many HD rivals, and an interior that ranges from work-ready to genuinely upscale. In this class, Ram leans harder than most competitors on comfort, cabin design, and long-distance towing ease.
The 2025 Ram 2500 ranges from the work-focused Tradesman to leather-lined luxury trims and factory off-road versions. Big Horn and Lone Star occupy the practical middle ground with an 8.4-inch touchscreen and parking sensors, while Limited and Limited Longhorn feature a 14.4-inch touchscreen and 17-speaker audio system. The Power Wagon remains the trail specialist with a HEMI V8, locking front and rear differentials, and off-road suspension hardware.
