2025 Ram 3500 Specs
To begin, two 2025 Ram 3500 engine options can be found under your hood. The 6.4-liter HEMI V-6 returns as the standard powertrain, delivering 405 horsepower and 429 pound-feet of torque. A big change from 2024 is the addition of the eight-speed automatic transmission. This is a bump up from the six-speed transmission from last year, providing a smoother acceleration and more adaptable gear shift for towing.
Alternatively, you can jump right to the high-output 6.7-liter Cummins® I-6 turbo diesel engine, skipping the standard output version from 2024. This engine has been redesigned for this year, sporting a similar 1,075 pound-feet of torque but an improved horsepower of 430 and an adapted eight-speed automatic 2025 Ram 3500 transmission. To see how the two years compare to one another, check out the chart below.

2025 Ram 3500 Towing Capacity
Your standard and available engines unlock a world of possibilities both for play and work. The standard HEMI engine can pull an astonishing 18,150 pounds behind it, which is plenty for long beds, livestock carriers, car trailers, and campers.
However, the high-output 6.7-liter Cummins® turbo diesel is the powertrain that goes the extra mile – for hundreds of thousands of miles to come. This engine boasts a maximum towing capability of 36,610 pounds when properly equipped, a monstrous amount that lets the 2025 Ram 3500 pull dumpsters, flatbeds, large boats, and even some heavy-duty gooseneck setups. You can feel that power straight from our new Ram inventory when you schedule your first test drive.
2025 Ram 3500 Interior
Similar to the engines, the interior dimensions of the 2025 Ram 3500 only received minor updates for 2025. Depending on your cab size – the three-seat Regular or six-seat Crew and Mega Cabs – you and your crew will have plenty of room to stretch out and relax across all five trim levels.

Fans of the 2024 Ram 3500 will see the biggest differences when they sit behind the wheel of the modern year. Ram trucks dedicate themselves to staying modern and intuitive, which is why the standard eight-inch touchscreen features a variety of ways to control your Ram 3500, and you can upgrade to a 14.4-inch touchscreen with Uconnect 5 Navigation technology as early as the third-level Ram 3500 Laramie. On the Limited and Limited Longhorn trims, that 14.4-inch touchscreen is paired with a 10.25-inch passenger screen – one of the only passenger screens in the heavy-duty class – that lets your copilot access navigation, technology, and camera functionality. Your screen space grows with the available 12.3-inch digital cluster gauge with nearly two dozen different menus.
The dashboard is only the start. Your bed now has a 2.4-kilowatt power converter and two 110-volt outlets, letting you bring the power to every job site in your 2025 Ram 3500. Two wireless phone charging stations become available on the second-level Big Horn trim, giving you easy-to-use phone connectivity at a moment's notice.
Seating ranges from cloth to premium filigree leather and can be heated and ventilated on the higher-end trims, all fantastic elements you can experience for yourself when you visit our New Carrollton dealership.
2025 Ram 3500 Safety
Perhaps the most significant change in the 2025 Ram 3500 is the inclusion of updated standard and available safety functions designed to keep you and your crew safe, no matter your level of fatigue. Standard Adaptive Cruise Control and Forward Collision Warning Plus elevate your drive by finding obstacles hidden by the massive form of your heavy-duty truck with advanced sensors. You'll get a clear and significant warning before an impact.
Available features unlock additional safety and information functionality. Trailer Tow Pages, for example, give you a crystal-clear perspective of every aspect of your Ram 3500. Drowsy-Driver Detection protects your employees during long trips, partially alleviating fatigue with a chime.
The available fully Digital Rearview Mirror with Tow Mode and Trailer Reverse Steering Control work with you to simplify hitching and moving with your light, medium, or heavy-load cargo. Traffic Sign Recognition and Active Lane Management lend a helping hand on busy streets, making the 2025 Ram 3500 your friend in urban areas.
