2025 Ram Heavy Duty | MotorWeek First Drive

In the Heavy-Duty Pickup truck arena, if you’re not constantly improving your product, you’re falling behind; as power numbers and tow ratings continue to escalate at a rapid pace.

That brings us to the new 2025 Ram Heavy Duty which we just got a chance to sample recently in Nevada and Arizona, taking some runs up the infamous Davis Dam Grade.

Heavily optioned into the six figure range! My goodness! If you are driving around a six figure truck, you better be using it to earn some type of living to offset the mortgage payment you’ll be making on the damn thing

[AraCarrano]

If only the Dealers had room on their lots to take delivery.

[nintendoatarikiller]

Torque figure starts with a thousand 😂 that's nuts!

[jimk]

Power numbers and towing capacity are increasing nearly as fast as the price

[cessnafun]

American truck manufacturers will make anything other than something smaller/cheaper than a Nimitz aircraft carrier

[RLC]

how about a truck with half the power and half the tech for half the price? That's what people really want. That's would get me back into the dealership.

lol at calling the standard output the most. Moral victories 😂

This is literally just another refresh. The body is the same body ever since the early 2010s. Still has a smaller crew cab interior than the 1500, unless you get the mega cab.

[mvnorsel]

Not so popular in Canada & Australia for some obscure reason.

[stegomon]

If I am spending 6 figures on a pick up truck. I will get a peterbuilt

[rustbeltrobclassic]

You can get a reliable 90's f150 i6 and manual transmission for 2500.00 that if you scratch or dent it just adds to the character.. seems like a better deal.. 😂

Will Ram consider replacing the outgoing series of Ram trucks and the outgoing Promaster van any moment now?

[georgedoolittle]

Not usually a fan at all having 4wd for a truck meant for towing so be interesting to see if that is changing now and for the first time. Would prefer to see air brakes at this scale and weight as well simply do not like the braking systems at all in these machines never have, never will although Tesla might be forcing the industry to take a new look at that problem that never gets solved as well😊😊

I'm not a truck guy but I do like Dodge trucks for the fact that they are true practical work trucks. They can pull a house.

[poivre]

Trucks are just too big. America has a serious compensation problem.

[MrBoondocker]

Did Ram fix the problem with bolts from the diesel heater strip falling into the cylinder? I've been following this after it happened to my buddies Ram 3500.

[ttinnovations]

hello car companies, how about 450hp only, and focus on quality and reliability for $65, 000 and stop with the rest of the junk

[paulygood]

There are a ton of 2024 diesel’s across the country. $10, 000 off MSRP or more

[carsnstuff]

bring back the column shifter to the 1500 Ram

[richfarfugnuven]

Hopefully, they fixed the electronic problems...
