Testing of the 2025 Ram Heavy Duty lineup is entering the final phase and that means prototypes will soon be running on public roads without camouflage. This has pushed the company to give us an early look at the facelifted pickup truck as it’s better than some “badly lit snapshot out the window at 70 miles per hour.” It’s hard to argue with that and the pictures reveal the 2500 and 3500 will adopt a new front end with a revised grille that is flanked by split lighting units. We can also see a new ram air hood as well as updated mirrors and taillights. Additional changes are limited, but it looks like we’ll get an updated third brake light that could incorporate some new cameras or sensors.
While Ram isn’t saying much about the
Heavy Duty lineup, CEO Chris Feuell has previously revealed the pickup will
incorporate the latest technology from the refreshed Ram 1500. This suggests
the model could have an improved 12-inch infotainment system as well as a newly
available 14.5-inch display.
The trucks may also be offered with a dual
wireless smartphone charger and a newly available 10.25-inch front passenger
display. We also wouldn’t be surprised to see a Tungsten trim or the addition
of Hands-Free Driving Assist. More interestingly, Feuell has previously
confirmed an “improved powertrain, thanks to our friends at Cummins.” The
current model boasts a 6.7-liter Cummins turbodiesel inline-six engine that
delivers 370 hp and 1,151 Nm of torque, alongside
a higher-output version offering 420 hp and 1,456 Nm.
Rumors have suggested the diesel lineup
could be streamlined to include a single powertrain that is paired to a new
eight-speed automatic transmission. While that remains to be seen, it’s pretty
clear the Cummins powertrain is set to steal the spotlight in this upcoming
lineup.
