2025 RAM 1500 | MotorWeek Road Test

For many years, the Dodge Ram was the also-ran in the full-size pickup truck race. And because of that, what is now known as just Ram has never been afraid to try new things, whether it’s big-rig style, unique suspension designs, innovative Ram Box storage, or delivering luxury car-like interiors, so what’s next? Well, let’s find out. #RAM #RAM1500 #RAMTrucks

Gone are the working man's trucks...❤

I’m ok with them offering a 6 cylinder turbo but I’m not ok with them taking away a V8 option altogether

[elcheapo]

As a lifelong Mopar customer with three currently in my driveway, I have no use for $90, 000 pickups, turbos, hybrids, or EVs. Its nice, but it isn't *that* nice. Good luck, "Stellantis".

Saturday mornings with a Motorweek review never gets old 😎

Turbocharged engines are another added repair expense. Naturally aspirated engines are the only way to go when it comes to reliability.

I never would have believed I'd see 90, 000 dollar trucks in my lifetime. No way I'd pay that for any car or truck let alone a Dodge product

So much time spent going over the details of the top trim. The manufacturers lead and most journalists follow. Motor Week of all journalists should go back to their roots.

Where in the heck do you stick 23 speakers in a truck cab.

[EricFortuneJr.]

$42k for a base V6 isn’t bad.


















Said no one..

Hopefully the V6 is still an option. John Davis is MotorWeek. The OG in automotive journalism.

1:03 John: Where you used to see hemi, get ready to say hurricane! LOL

[hp]

I can’t wait for an aftermarket exhaust on these engines!

[an_easy_name_to_remember]

Sounds like a new “Hurricane tick” under the hood…🫣

[hp]

People don’t make enough for the Tungsten….or any of these models to begin with.

[danr]

Looks awesome. Why didn't you test it on the track though? Wanted to see what the inline 6 does which I would take over any other engine in a truck for sure!

[maybelive]

Guys, they had to take out the hemi, otherwise there'd be competition between the V8 and the hurricane. Remember, the 5.7 hemi was originally a 2500-class engine that just so happens to have amazing packaging dimensions.

If its anything like the coyote/ecoboost problem, this is actually a blessing in disguise. we're gonna have a next-gen hemi sooner rather than later.

[lilpeppaG]

Love this channel they need to add an offroad course and person to be competitive

[tralfazsteamboat]

A 520 hp V6 isn’t going to be reliable.

I read it right from Chrysler when the hurricane was announced they stated that this new motor unlike the hemi will not run on anything lower than 92 octane and if you put 87 into it you will not be producing the rated horse power or mpg as you would get by running high octane. I just bought a new ram and my dealer said exactly that . New jeep wagoneer owners are not to happy that they have the hurricane now because some have tried 87 octane and they called the dealer because nobody told them 😂
