The 2025 Ram 1500 trucks are getting a major upgrade under the hood. Instead of the old V-8, they’re now equipped with a new Hurricane I-6 engine, and it’s turning heads for all the right reasons.
This new 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged engine delivers some serious power. Even the basic version pumps out 420 horsepower and 469 lb-ft of torque, beating the old V-8’s numbers.
But it’s the high-output model that steals the show with a whopping 540 horsepower and 521 lb-ft of torque.
Despite the increase in power, these new engines are actually more fuel-efficient. The basic Hurricane I-6 manages 18 mpg city, 25 mpg highway, and 21 mpg combined in two-wheel-drive mode, which is better than the old V-8. Even the high-output version, though slightly less efficient, still offers impressive numbers.
Overall, this new engine marks a big step forward for the Ram 1500. It’s more powerful and more efficient, showing that you don’t always need a big V-8 to get the job done.
