Power and Performance
While truck manufacturers have made a concentrated effort to ensure their trucks are more comfortable and convenient over the past few years, the fact remains that drivers want to ensure they have power and performance on their side when choosing the right truck for their needs. For the 2025 Ram 1500, you might find more than you ever expected. In fact, the brand has stated this version is the strongest Ram ever. This is thanks, in part, to the two new available 3.0L Hurricane engines, which earned the 1500 best-in-class available six-cylinder horsepower. When equipped, the available High-Output 3.0L Hurricane engine offers up to 540 hp with a maximum torque of 521 lb-ft. This engine also gives you towing power of up to 9,920 lbs.
Other engine options include the 3.0L Hurricane, delivering up to 469 lb-ft torque, 420 hp, and a maximum towing capacity of 11,550, as well as the 3.6L Pentastar V6 engine with eTorque. For this option, you’ll get a maximum of 305 hp with 269 lb-ft of torque and a towing capacity of up to 8,110. Also impressive is the fuel economy these engines offer. While you might think this much power will have you spending more time at the pump, you’ll be surprised to learn that both the 3.6L Pentastar and the 3.0L Hurricane turbocharged 1-6 offer up to 25 MPG on the highway.
You will also find power and performance in the back end of the truck, thanks to the two available 110-volt power outlets, which let you utilize power equipment, lighting, music, and more. Even better? Having these on your side lets you power your Metamora home in case of an emergency. Additionally, the available powered tailgate makes accessing cargo quick and easy.

Towing Technology
Not only is the Ram 1500 more powerful than ever before, but it’s also the most advanced when it comes to trailering technology, offering more available towing features than ever. Those available features include things like Trailer Reverse Steering Control, which gives you all the control you need while navigating your trailer and truck into tight spaces. Additionally, the available Brake Control, Trailer Light Check, and LED Trailer Hitch Light improve the experience. Add in the available 360-degree Surround View Camera and Telescopic Trailer Tow Mirrors, and you’ll wonder how you ever towed without this technology.
Safety also comes into play when looking at the Ram 1500’s towing abilities. For instance, the available Reverse Guidance with Split-Screen View gives you a clear view of the area behind your truck, so you can navigate where you need to without the help of another person. Blind Spot Monitoring with Rear Cross Path and Trailer Detection is another available feature the 1500 offers. This system serves the driver by alerting you when another vehicle enters your blind spot, including the blind spots of the trailer. Last but not least, the available Forward Collision Warning System scans the road ahead and alerts you to changes in traffic flow to help you avoid a collision. The brakes will also engage automatically if the system senses you might not be able to react in time.
Safety and Connectivity Technology
The 2025 Ram 1500 offers over 100 standard and optional safety and security features, providing you peace of mind as you travel from point A to point B for all your Metamora travels and beyond. First, depending on the trim level you choose, you can enjoy the Hands-Free Active Driving Assist. This system helps you maintain a set speed and distance from vehicles ahead of you using sensors at the front of the truck. Additionally, the system helps to keep you centered in your lane while traveling on the open road. Both of these let you relax and enjoy the drive a bit more. Other standard and available safety features that help you get where you’re going include things like Evasive Steering Assist, the Intersection Collision Assist System, Drowsy Driver Detection, and Traffic Sign Recognition. There’s also an available Parksense Automated Parking System that offers support whether you’re parallel or perpendicular parking. It does this by detecting available parking spots and controlling gear selection, acceleration, and braking to help navigate the truck into the spot.
On the connectivity side of things, you and your passengers will enjoy the long list of features the Ram 1500 has on board, starting with over 50 inches of combined available digital display viewing area. This is over 10 inches more than you will find in other trucks in its class. When equipped, you gain access to a 14.5-inch Uconnect touchscreen, allowing you to connect your compatible phone and enjoy your favorite playlist, turn-by-turn directions, and more. Meanwhile, your front-seat passenger can enjoy the available 10.25-inch Passenger Interactive Display to view navigation, access vehicle cameras, stream shows, and play music. In addition to these options, there is also an available head-up display that gives access to real-time information that helps support your drive, as well as a 12-inch Interactive Driver Information Digital Cluster Display, both adding to the 50-inch total.
