There’s no doubt about it—RAM trucks are the very best heavy-duty trucks for towing in 2025. And if you’re in Avon Lake, OH, or hauling gear out of Cleveland, this isn’t just about brand loyalty. It’s about cold, hard capability. The kind that pulls a fifth wheel up a mountain without breaking a sweat—or your back. But let’s look closer at why RAM trucks aren’t just competitive in the heavy-duty space—they’re leading it.
Built for the Ones Who Actually Use Their Trucks
RAM didn’t design the 2025 HD lineup for folks who buy a big truck just to park it at the golf course. These rigs were engineered for the “5% customer”—the ones who tow for a living, not just for fun. RAM knows these drivers need torque, control, confidence, and comfort… all day, every day. So, for 2025, they went all in.
Incredible Torque
The star of the show is the updated 6.7L Cummins High-Output Turbo Diesel, now producing:
- 430 horsepower
- 1,075 lb-ft of torque (yes, still best-in-class)
- And that’s standard across the RAM HD lineup
You read that right—that kind of power comes standard. There’s no extra box to check—no trim upgrade required. Combine that with a smooth-shifting 8-speed TorqueFlite automatic, this RAM truck doesn’t just tow—it dominates. Whether you’re pulling 19,000 pounds of farming equipment or a fifth wheel on the backroads of Ohio, it’s absurdly composed.
Column Shifters Are Back—Because Work Trucks Should Feel Like Work Trucks
You asked, and RAM listened. The column shifter returns across the lineup. Why? Because muscle memory matters when you’re working a plow for 15 hours in a snowstorm. Now, every RAM HD—whether you’re managing a fleet or just outfitting your own driveway—is consistent, intuitive, and easy to shift without looking.
Massive Power, Surprisingly Graceful
Let’s talk ride quality. These trucks don’t just roar—they glide. The new transmission doesn’t just offer fuel efficiency. It delivers silky gear changes, especially under load. Add in improved charge cooling, bigger intake valves, and a re-engineered turbo, and you’ve got a truck that’s quieter, faster, and smoother than ever.
Even downhill, it holds steady. You get exhaust braking, smart gear management, and tech that inspires confidence no matter what’s strapped to your hitch.
Inside? It’s Basically a Rolling Lounge
RAM might flex muscle under the hood, but inside? It’s pure comfort. This is truly a job site truck with first-class seating. Here’s what’s inside:
- 5-inch touchscreen with Uconnect 5
- Wireless phone mirroring + dual charging pads
- 5-inch passenger display (yes, shotgun riders get their own screen)
- Seating for six, with leather, wood trim, and real lumbar support
