- Ram has revealed pricing for the refreshed 2025 Ram 1500 pickup lineup.
- It starts at $42,270, only an $855 increase from last year, but that’s just for the base model with a carryover V-6 engine. The new top-of-the-line Tungsten trim level costs $89,150 to start.
- The new twin-turbo 3.0-liter inline-six engine is a $2695 option on lower trims and comes standard in higher trims.
The Ram 1500 is entering the 2025 model year with a host of changes—including higher prices. The base price is only up by $855 compared with last year, as a basic Tradesman with a carryover V-6 engine starts at $42,270. But the updated 2025 Ram’s most exciting new choices, including the optional twin-turbo inline-six engine and a new fully loaded trim level called Tungsten, carry considerably higher sticker prices.
The more basic versions of the 2025 Ram—comprising Tradesman, HFE, Lone Star, and Big Horn trim levels—come with a carryover 305-hp 3.6-liter V-6 with the 48-volt eTorque hybrid system. If you want the new twin-turbo 3.0-liter inline-six, you’ll pay $2695 extra for the 420-hp standard-output version of these trims. This “Hurricane” engine option comes standard on the higher Laramie ($62,025) and Rebel ($66,190) trim levels. Regardless of trim level, it’s the only engine choice if you opt for crew-cab configuration with the longer six-foot-four-inch bed.
There’s also a high-output version of the 3.0-liter inline-six that offers a whopping 540 horsepower and comes standard on Limited ($77,150) and Longhorn ($77,645) trims. This engine option also comes only with four-wheel drive, while the V-6 and the standard-output inline-six come standard with rear-wheel drive on all models except the off-road-oriented Rebel.
And then there’s the Tungsten (pictured at top), a new range-topping trim level that starts at an eye-watering $89,150. Naturally, it’s offered with the high-output engine and four-wheel drive, and it comes only in the crew-cab configuration with the shorter five-foot-seven-inch bed. The Tungsten comes with all sorts of goodies including a power tailgate, upgraded interior materials, 24-way power front seats with massage, and a 23-speaker audio system.
The standard versions of the 2025 Ram 1500 are set to go on sale this quarter. We don’t yet have prices for the new plug-in-hybrid option, called Ramcharger, that’s coming later on. That variant comes with a 663-hp setup that combines electric motors, a large battery pack, and a V-6 gasoline engine. There’s also an electric Ram truck called the Ram 1500 REV that’s set to go on sale by the end of the year. These electrified versions will likely carry big price premiums, but we won’t find out details until later in the year.
