Ram 1500 Named MotorTrend 2025 Truck of the Year

The 2025 Ram 1500 has earned the prestigious title of MotorTrend’s Truck of the Year, and it’s no surprise why. With cutting-edge technology, exceptional performance, and unmatched comfort, the 2025 Ram 1500 is setting a new standard for full-size trucks. Whether you’re looking for a workhorse or a versatile family truck, the Ram 1500 delivers on every front. Since Ram became its own brand in 2009, it has won this title 9 times, which is a testament to its constant innovation. Here’s why the 2025 Ram 1500 is deserving of the 2025 MotorTrend Truck of the Year award and why you should consider it when shopping for a new truck.  

Unmatched Performance and Power 

The 2025 Ram 1500 continues to offer incredible performance, with a wide range of engine options to suit different driving needs. Many were not enthused about the announcement that the HEMI engine would be going away. However, its replacement, the Hurricane engine, outperforms in many ways. From 0-60 mph, the Hurricane is 1.6 seconds faster than the 5.7L V8 HEMI, and that’s just with the standard output. With the high output Hurricane engine, it is 2.2 seconds quicker. In addition, the Hurricane engine is lighter than its predecessor, leading to better handling and performance.  

When hauling a trailer, your experience with the Ram 1500 will be slick and easy. The 2025 model year has introduced a new reverse steering aid and your blind-spot monitor will be adjusted accordingly when you are towing something. Max trailer weight ratings range from 6,370 to 11,600 pounds.

Luxury and Comfort in Every Ride 

The 2025 Ram 1500 doesn’t just excel in performance—it also offers an incredibly refined and luxurious interior. The cabin is designed to keep you comfortable on long drives or during your daily commute. With premium seating options, high-quality materials, and an array of tech features, the Ram 1500 ensures that you’ll enjoy every moment behind the wheel. 

For the first time, Ram has added in a 10.3-inch passenger screen that is not visible to the driver, so that passengers can enjoy entertainment without distraction. They retained the 14.5-inch infotainment center, 12.3-inch cluster in front of the driver, and a 10-inch heads-up display. Other notable features include wireless phone chargers, Phone-As-Key, and in the highest trim level (Tungsten), you can experience a 23-speaker Klipsch audio system.
