2025 RAM 3500 Model Research

The 2025 Ram 3500 offers five trim levels: Tradesman, Big Horn, Laramie, Limited Longhorn, and Limited. Standard LED headlamps, front fog lamps, and optional LED taillamps are included on all trims. The truck is available with a 6-foot-4 or 8-foot bed configuration to match different hauling needs. The Tradesman provides a basic work-focused design with a matte-black grille and 18-inch steel wheels, while the Big Horn adds chrome grille accents and bright bumpers. The Laramie includes a full chrome grille and upgraded diamond-cut aluminum wheels. The Limited Longhorn and Limited trims feature premium finishes with auto-dimming exterior mirrors and 20-inch wheels.

The 2025 Ram 3500 offers two powerful engine options. The standard 6.4-liter HEMI V-8 gas engine produces 405 horsepower and 429 pound-feet of torque, providing strong performance for everyday tasks. The available 6.7-liter Cummins Turbo-Diesel I-6 engine delivers 430 horsepower and 1,075 pound-feet of torque for maximum towing capability. Both engines use eight-speed automatic transmissions designed for heavy-duty use. The gas engine pairs with a standard eight-speed, while diesel models feature the new eight-speed ZF Powerline automatic transmission for optimized performance.

When equipped with the diesel engine and 3.42 rear axle ratio, the Ram 3500 reaches a maximum towing capacity of 36,610 pounds with a gooseneck hitch. Using a conventional hitch, it can tow up to 23,000 pounds. The gas engine configuration provides a maximum payload capacity of 7,590 pounds. Two drivetrain options are available: rear-wheel drive and four-wheel drive. The four-wheel-drive system handles challenging terrain and weather conditions, while rear-wheel drive maximizes highway efficiency. The truck delivers strong fuel economy for its class, with the diesel engine achieving 15-17 mpg in city driving and 20-25 mpg on the highway.

The 2025 Ram 3500 includes an 8.4-, 12-, or 14.4-inch touchscreen infotainment center, depending on trim, along with an optional 10.25-inch passenger-side touchscreen. The interior seats up to six passengers based on configuration and features high-quality materials, with leather upholstery and wood accents in higher trim levels. The available premium audio system includes up to 17 speakers, and a power inverter providing 115 volts through a bed outlet adds functionality for work tasks. The truck also features Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and Amazon Alexa compatibility.
