Family Feud: 2025 Ram 1500 Makes More Horsepower Than Ram 2500

We've just entered an alternative dimension where half-ton trucks have more horsepower

heavy-duty ones thanks to Ram vehicles' impressive selection of gasoline and electric powertrains

Or Ram is only getting carried away. The thing is that the gasoline-powered 2025 Ram 1500

[{"selector":"#anim-5760d688-8934-4046-8c7b-808a0410728e [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-31.249999886225726%, 0, 0) translate(-25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}]

will produce 540 horsepower while the 2500 will only manage 370 horsepower (diesel)

horsepower (gasoline), even when the torquey electric and hybrid Rams are removed from the equation

setups could even be less capable of towing than the half-ton! The trucks are compared as follows:

The gasoline-powered 2025 Ram 1500s will come in two turbocharged straight-six (I6) settings

[{"selector":"#anim-88773c75-b52b-4b60-955e-42a1b8a41a74 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-7.812499744007886%, 0, 0) translate(-25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}]

521 lb-ft of torque and 540 horsepower will be produced by the high-output I6.

[{"selector":"#anim-e011460c-14c3-4908-a9ec-641b0a17685f [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-7.808452981393406%, 0, 0) translate(-25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}]

Yes, it outperforms any normally aspirated Hemi V8 at its max power.

[{"selector":"#anim-ce0530b7-68e0-4524-8a44-3d1ac8f24f6a [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-7.8161800633183605%, 0, 0) translate(-25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}]

The gasoline-powered 2025 Ram 1500s will offer a V6 and two tunes of a turbocharged

[{"selector":"#anim-a8f5fe31-5a94-4d28-8dae-6d94c68557c7 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-31.248023705775292%, 0, 0) translate(-25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}]

The high-output I6 will make 540 horsepower and 521 lb-ft of torque.

[{"selector":"#anim-c532e91f-3a04-46d8-9ffb-fb1f53eb997d [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-7.8161008963984955%, 0, 0) translate(-25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}]

That’s right, its peak power blows every naturally aspirated Hemi V8 out of the water.
