For years, the word ”HEMI” has been all you need to describe the Ram 1500. The V8 engine stands for towing, hauling, and superior power in our pickup truck.
Not anymore. The 2025 Ram 1500 has something completely different underneath its hood – two less cylinders.
Six-cylinder power has always been a part of the Ram 1500’s power choices. This is different. The Ram 1500 has a choice of two twin-turbocharged in-line six-cylinder engines on most models. They call them the Hurricane.
We say two because you have a choice of a 420-horsepower version that does the job in every way. However, bigger tasks and challenges are reserved for the 540-horsepower High-Output version found on models such as the RHO and Tungsten.
Edmunds.com had a chance to drive a Tungsten with the High-Output Hurricane engine. They clocked the 2025 Ram 1500 as configured at 4.7 seconds from 0-60 MPH with a quarter-mile time of 13.0 seconds at 104.7 MPH. They claim that these times are much faster than a HEMI V8-powered Ram 1500.
In comparison, Edmunds.com stated that the timing for the 2025 Ram 1500 Tungsten is as fast as “performance cars like the new Nissan Z and Toyota GR Corolla Morizo Edition.”
Being quick and fast is not exactly how you measure a pickup truck and its driveline. It is flattering, but the true measure of a 2025 Ram 1500 is how it hauls – and tows. Equipped with the High-Output Hurricane engine, it can tow up to 9,920 pounds with a payload of up to 1,520 pounds. It also puts down 521 pound-feet of torque to handle those limits.
The Tungsten trim is new for 2025. It is a higher level of pickup truck luxury that spoils you with fine leather seats, the highest level of technology, safety, and engineering unmatched in any pickup truck in its size class. Add the benefit of the twin-turbocharged Hurricane engine, and you have one exceptional pickup truck!
The High-Output Hurricane engine is also standard on the new off-road conqueror – the RHO. Plus, it also powers the Limited and Limited Longhorn trim levels. Most of the 2025 Ram 1500 models are equipped with the 420-horsepower version of the Hurricane twin-turbocharged engine.
