Towing Titans and Blue-Collar Luxury
If you need a truck that can tow a bulldozer, haul a cabin’s worth of lumber, and still turn heads with premium comfort, the 2025 Ram 3500 is your go-to rig. Ram’s big brute returns for 2025 with gaudy numbers, modern tech, and serious swagger. Forget chrome-dipped brodozers—this is function-forward Americana, ready for job sites, family ranches, and long-haul travel alike.
Exterior: Bolder, Tougher, Smarter
The 2025 Ram 3500 leans in on presence. Engineers facelifted the front end with redesigned headlamps, signature LED lighting, and beefy grille choices that flex depending on your trim. You get muscular lines, tough as ever, plus new wheel options, two-tone paints, and functional running boards to ease cab access.
Even base models radiate toughness, but step up to Big Horn, Limited, or Laramie and you unlock luxury touches: chrome appointments, power-deploying boards, and a damped tailgate big enough for pro contractors and weekend warriors. Whether you opt for single, Crew, or Mega Cab, and the 6’4″ or 8′ bed, you get a pickup that feels massive but surprisingly modern—ready for the ranch or refinery.
Powertrains: Diesel Dominance, Gas Grit
The numbers are big, and 2025 Ram 3500’s not shy about shouting them:
- Standard 6.4-liter HEMI V8: 405hp, 429lb-ft—smooth, strong, and now with an eight-speed automatic for better response at every speed.
- Available 6.7-liter Cummins High-Output Diesel: 430hp, an unholy 1,075lb-ft of torque. That’s “Best-in-Class” pulling for those who need every ounce of muscle.
All that grunt channels through heavy-duty automatics, with 4×2 or part-time 4×4 drivetrains. Ram’s famous rear air suspension is still available, smoothing heavy loads and off-road ruts alike. The result? The Ram 3500 hauls up to 7,680lb of payload and tows a segment-stomping up to 37,100lb—just about anything with a license plate.
Cabin: Tech and Comfort for Long Hauls
Inside, Ram keeps raising the bar. Base Tradesman vans are all about hard-wearing vinyl and big switches for gloved hands. But step up to Laramie, Limited, or the monster Mega Cab, and you’ll get:
- Optional 14.5-inch touchscreen (biggest in class), split-screen nav/media, and Uconnect 5 software for brainy infotainment.
- Available 12-inch digital cluster, Head-Up Display, and digital rearview mirror for truckers who want airplane cockpit vibes.
- Wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, WiFi hotspot, multi-zone climate, and powered everything—even rear seats can be heated and ventilated in top trims.
- Premiums bring real leather, open-pore wood, and plush seating. Meanwhile, you’ll find clever storage galore: bins under seats, mega gloveboxes, and a configurable center console that swallows laptops, tools, or even a lunch cooler.
Ram’s cabs are huge—the Crew and Mega Cab offer adult-friendly rear legroom, and with three body styles, you can go spartan or limo-level plush.
Smarter, Safer, More Capable
The new 3500 is loaded with work-smart features and driver aids:
- Advanced trailering tech: Trailer reverse steering control, 360° trailer cameras, cargo view camera, and blind-spot monitoring with trailer length detection.
- Smart safety: Adaptive cruise with stop & go, lane keep assist, forward collision warning with auto-braking, blind-spot and cross-path alert, and up to six airbags.
- Other neat tricks: 360° surround-view camera, digital rearview camera, tire pressure monitoring (even on the trailer), and features like a power tailgate or running boards. H2: Trims and Pricing—Something for Every Job
