2025 Ram 1500: The Future of Ute Performance with the Hurricane Six-Cylinder Engine
The 2025 Ram 1500 is ready to redefine the Australian ute market with impressive new performance and cutting-edge technology. If you’ve been a fan of the iconic Hemi V8, you might have mixed feelings, but don’t worry – the new Hurricane inline six-cylinder engine more than makes up for it with increased power and efficiency. Let's dive into the key updates and what to expect from this exciting new release, available soon at Tynan Ram!
Hemi V8 Out, Hurricane Inline Six In
One of the most significant changes for the 2025 Ram 1500 is the replacement of the Hemi V8 engine with the new Hurricane inline six-cylinder engine. This change brings increased power and better fuel efficiency, giving the Ram 1500 a performance boost that will appeal to those looking for both power and practicality.
Ram 1500 Laramie Sport
The Laramie Sport version of the Ram 1500 will be powered by the Standard Output (SO) twin-turbo 3.0-litre inline-six, producing a mighty 313kW of power and 635Nm of torque. This is a 22kW and 79Nm increase over the old Hemi V8, making this version of the ute more powerful and efficient. The Laramie Sport can tow up to 4500kg, and while its payload capacity is not as high as some of its rivals like the Ford Ranger, it still offers 863kg of carrying capacity.
Ram 1500 Limited
For those who want even more performance, the MY25 1500 Limited comes with the High Output (HO) version of the Hurricane engine, producing 403kW and 707Nm. This gives it more power than the standard Laramie Sport, and it can tow up to 4200kg. The payload capacity of the Limited version is 783kg, and with the extra power comes a host of luxury features.
Updated Styling and Tech
The 2025 Ram 1500 gets a significant facelift, with a fresh new look that includes a redesigned front grille, LED headlights, and new alloy wheels. But it’s not just about looks – the new tech inside will make every drive more comfortable and connected.

- 14.4-inch infotainment system
- 10.25-inch touchscreen for the passenger

The Hurricane Engine Revolution
According to Jeff Barber, Ram Trucks Australia’s local boss, the Hurricane engine will become a standout feature for Aussie buyers. “We know a lot of people love the sound of the Hemi V8, but we think the Hurricane engines will become iconic in their own right,” he said. With more power and torque than the previous Hemi V8, the Hurricane engines take the Ram 1500 – and US pick-ups – to an entirely new level of performance.
