Two Souped-Up Powertrains: It’s Where the Magic Happens

To achieve its incredible feats of strength, the 2025 Ram 2500 offers a choice of two roaring powertrains topping out at an intense 430 horsepower, accompanied by a 4,320 lb max payload rating and tempered by heavy-duty four-wheel disc antilock brakes for safe, responsive stopping. This will definitely come in handy during your hauls, as the standard 6.4 L HEMI V8 lets drivers hook up to 17,540 lbs, whereas the significantly more powerful 6.7 L High-Output Cummins Turbo Diesel I6 unlocks up to 20,000 lbs of raw towing might.

Tow Smarter, Not Harder

The 2025 Ram 2500 makes full use of its brawn by offering a number of towing-focused additions designed to work safer and smarter. For instance, its factory-installed rear-axle structural crossmember incorporates dedicated mounting hardware, and makes even lighter work of your heaviest jobs when combined with the Ram 2500’s available Fifth-Wheel/Gooseneck Prep Package. 

Speaking of smart additions, we definitely recommend opting for the Ram 2500’s available Trail Tire Pressuring Monitor System. With this piece of tech on deck, you’ll be able to access live pressure readings right from your dashboard’s available 12-inch Driver Information Digital Cluster, and receive audio-visual alerts if your trailer’s tires drop below ideal thresholds. Running more than one trailer? No problem–this essential system remembers positions and thresholds for up to four, so you can switch up your trailer without having to start from scratch each time.
