• 5.3-liter V8 with 355 horsepower and 383 lb-ft of torque
• 6.2-liter V8 with 420 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque

It's worth noting that the RAM 1500 no longer offers its 5.7-liter V8 engine with 395 horsepower, but the new Hurricane engines not only outperform the former 8-cylinder, but also the various engines offered by the GMC Sierra.

Another new feature for the 2025 RAM 1500 is the standard 4x4 drivetrain across the entire lineup, no longer offering any 2-wheel drive versions.

The GMC Sierra 1500, meanwhile, comes standard with a 4x2 system on certain models, with 4-wheel drive available as an option on those.
