2025 MotorTrend Truck of Year Winner

There was a shift in power among the 2025 Ram 1500 lineup, quite literally. This significant change is the replacement of the outgoing V8 with the all-new Hurricane engine-a 3.0L twin-turbocharged inline-six that combines V8-level performance with improved fuel efficiency and lower emissions. The standard-output Hurricane engine generates an impressive 420 horsepower and 469 lb-ft of torque, surpassing the previous 5.7L HEMI V8's 395 hp and 410 lb-ft. For drivers seeking even more power, the high-output variant offers a remarkable 540 horsepower and 521 lb-ft of torque. The standard-output Hurricane comes on the Tradesman and Big Horn trims, and is standard on the Laramie and Rebel. For ultimate performance, the high-output version is available on select trims and comes standard on the premium Limited and Tungsten models.

Another reason the Ram 1500 earned the top spot on MotorTrend's list of trucks this year is because of the extensive lineup of trim levels available. Even with the bare necessities of the Tradesman, you still get impressive features like an 8.4-inch Uconnect 5 touchscreen with wireless smartphone integration, LED lighting, an electronic parking brake, and more. Meanwhile, the Big Horn ups the ante with amenities such as alloy wheels, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, a chrome-outlined grille, and more. At the mid-range, you have the Laramie and Rebel trims. The Laramie dials up on comfort and style with leather-trimmed seating, heated/cooled front seats, 20-inch alloy wheels, and a chrome billet grille. The Rebel, on the other hand, takes you far beyond where the pavement ends with rugged 33-inch all-terrain tires, standard 4x4, a locking rear differential, a one-inch factory lift, and many other off-roading features. The Limited and all-new Tungsten trim levels take luxury to the next level. While the Limited trim offers a 12-inch touchscreen, Nappa leather upholstery, and numerous luxurious features, the Tungsten comes off the line with Natura Plus leather upholstery, a 14.4-inch touchscreen, a 10.25-inch front passenger interactive touchscreen, and much more luxurious content.

The 2025 Ram 1500 sets a new standard in the full-size truck segment, offering a range of exclusive, class-leading features that enhance both luxury and capability. Among its standout innovations is the best-in-class 23-speaker Klipsch Reference Premier audio system, providing an unparalleled sound experience. The Ram 1500 also offers a suite of class-exclusive features, such as dual wireless charging pads, a metal pedal kit, and the most available towing technologies in its class, including trailer reverse steering control and a 360-degree surround-view camera system for enhanced control and convenience. At the heart of its impressive tech suite, the 2025 Ram 1500 leads the segment with the most available digital display screen space, offering over 45 inches of screen area in the top-tier Tungsten trim. This includes the largest-in-class 14.5-inch center infotainment touchscreen, a 12-inch fully digital gauge cluster, a 9.2-inch digital rearview mirror, and a 10.25-inch interactive front passenger touchscreen-the only one of its kind in the segment. The front passenger touchscreen provides access to entertainment, navigation, and vehicle cameras, creating a unique and tailored experience for all passengers.
