Ask Merriam-Webster to explain the word “truck” and you’ll find this: “a wheeled vehicle for moving heavy articles, such as a strong horse-drawn or automotive vehicle for hauling.” Trucks are, by definition, made for work. However, that doesn’t mean they can’t be luxurious inside or improve their fuel efficiency, or even go with an all-electric powertrain. Truck builder Ram is checking all those boxes with its newest iteration of its Ram 1500 pickup as a 2025 model.
“We had the straight-six turbo in development and worked on making it more refined, giving it more power, better emissions, and better fuel economy,” Killian explains. “We don’t just launch a truck and then stop; we’re constantly thinking about what’s next.” Ram's newest 1500 looks nearly the same as it has since the 2019 model, but the new turbo inline-six engine under the hood is a big update.
