A couple of crossover SUVs (Toyota RAV4 and Tesla Model Y) followed the top five. Therefore, it is not surprising that Ford, GM, and Stellantis are investing heavily to make them more appealing to customers this year. For instance, Blue Oval enthusiasts can already find a brand-new Super Duty and an updated F-150 at dealerships nationwide.
Stellantis, on the other hand, aims to come closer to the Silverado and potentially secure second place. Last year, they took Ram in a new direction with the redesigned and enhanced 2025 Ram 1500 series. This model includes subtle aesthetic modifications, additional onboard features, and advanced technologies, along with a range of new powertrain options. The company has opted for a more streamlined lineup, abandoning the Hemi V8s.
The base model is equipped with a 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 with eTorque mild hybrid technology. Two 3.0-liter Hurricane inline-six turbo options are also available, with standard and high-output variants offering 420 or 540 horsepower. But that’s not all – an all-electric Ram 1500 REV is on the horizon, as well as a potentially disruptive Ramcharger featuring a range-extender EV setup and a staggering 663 horsepower. Many are curious whether these powertrains will be utilized in the upcoming 2025 or 2026 model year refresh of the Ram HD models.
The rumor mill will undoubtedly attempt to uncover more information, while digital car content creators are busy imagining the potential appearance of popular models like the Ram 2500 HD and 3500 HD dually. One such creator is the AutoYa info channel on YouTube, which has a satellite venue called AutoYa Interior. This is where all the (CGI) Ram action takes place, complete with powertrain speculations and a variety of flashy colors created by the resident pixel master.
The pixel master has been hard at work showcasing interior changes, such as a larger infotainment screen, a new steering wheel, and additional trim inserts. They have also presented a preview of the cockpit, along with an array of color options for the exterior of the Ram 2500 HD. Additionally, they have imagined how the larger Ram 3500 HD dually sibling might look, complete with its own CGI paintjobs. So, the question remains – will Ram unveil the refreshed HD lineup later this year, once the excitement surrounding the smaller 1500 versions subsides? And will the HD models adopt the Hurricane, Ramcharger, or even the REV powertrains?
