10 Upgrades You'll Appreciate In The 2025 Ram Heavy Duty

The 2025 Ram Heavy Duty trucks feature substantial improvements across the board. From powertrain enhancements to cutting-edge technology, these trucks deliver more capability, comfort, and convenience than ever before. The latest generation of Ram's hardest-working pickups brings thoughtful upgrades that directly address the needs of Canadian truck owners.

Whether you use your truck for serious work applications or demanding recreational activities, the 2025 Ram 2500 and 3500 Heavy Duty models offer meaningful advancements that transform the ownership experience. Here are ten upgrades you'll immediately appreciate behind the wheel.

High-Output Cummins Diesel in All Variants

The legendary 6.7-litre Cummins Turbo Diesel now comes in High-Output form across all 2025 Ram Heavy Duty variants. This upgraded engine delivers an impressive 430 horsepower and best-in-class standard 1,075 lb-ft of torque – a 70% increase in torque delivery compared to the previous generation 2500. The redesigned block and head, robust heavy-duty pistons, new performance intake manifold, larger intake/exhaust valves, and higher-pressure fuel system combine to enhance both durability and efficiency. You'll feel the difference immediately, especially when towing heavy loads or accelerating with trailers.

New TorqueFlite HD Eight-Speed Transmission

Every 2025 Ram Heavy Duty now features the TorqueFlite HD eight-speed automatic transmission as standard equipment, regardless of engine choice. This sophisticated transmission offers wide gear ratios that enable a more fuel-efficient 3.42 rear axle ratio without compromising towing capability. The system intelligently recognizes if your truck is loaded or unloaded, allowing for smooth second-gear starts when running empty. You'll appreciate the seamless shifts, improved fuel economy, and enhanced performance on graded roads this transmission delivers in daily driving.

Improved Acceleration and Performance

The 2025 Ram 2500 accelerates from 0 to 96 km/h in just 6.9 seconds – a substantial improvement over the previous model's 8.0-second time. This increase in responsiveness transforms the driving experience, making merging onto highways and overtaking other vehicles significantly easier and more confidence-inspiring. The quicker acceleration also translates to improved quarter-mile times, giving you better overall performance whether you're hauling heavy loads or driving unloaded.

Enhanced Towing Capabilities with Better Efficiency

The combination of the High-Output Cummins engine and new eight-speed transmission enables an impressive maximum towing capacity of 16,606 kilograms (36,610 pounds) with a more fuel-efficient 3.42 rear axle ratio. Previously, this level of towing capacity required a less efficient 4.10 axle ratio. The Ram 3500 Heavy Duty now offers maximum gooseneck and conventional hitch trailer weight ratings of 16,606 kilograms and 10,433 kilograms respectively. You'll tow more while spending less at the pump – a win-win for your productivity and operating costs.

Advanced Uconnect 5 System with Larger Screens

The 2025 Ram Heavy Duty features the most advanced Uconnect system ever, with an improved 12-inch or new 14.5-inch touchscreen display. The interface is intuitive and responsive, with touchscreen operation in as little as 0.05 seconds. A segment-first available 10.25-inch passenger screen adds functionality for your front passenger, with co-pilot features, entertainment options, and camera viewing capabilities. The systems operate five times faster than the previous generation, creating a more seamless technological experience that enhances both work and leisure activities.

On-Board Power System

An available on-board power inverter provides up to 2.4 kilowatts of electricity through two covered outlets located inside the bed. Simply activate the system via the touchscreen or a convenient switch, and your 2025 Ram Heavy Duty becomes a mobile power station for tools, equipment, or campsite needs. This feature eliminates the need to transport a separate generator to job sites or recreational areas, saving valuable cargo space and simplifying your setup process wherever you work or play.

Expanded Safety Features

The 2025 Ram Heavy Duty includes more standard safety technology than ever before. Adaptive cruise control, Forward Collision Warning-Plus, and ParkSense front/rear park assist now come standard on Big Horn models and above. New available features include Drowsy Driver Detection, Traffic Sign Recognition, and Active Lane Management. The enhanced Lane Keep Assist leverages blind spot sensors to provide additional steering corrections for better lane centering. You'll drive with greater confidence knowing these advanced systems are actively working to protect you and your passengers.

Improved Trailer Assistance Technology

Towing gets easier with the 2025 Ram Heavy Duty's advanced trailer assistance features. The available 360-degree surround-view camera with trailer reverse guidance view provides a single display screen showing both sides of your trailer simultaneously. Available trailer reverse steering control allows you to simply turn a dial in the direction you want your trailer to go while the system manages the steering wheel. An auxiliary exterior camera can be positioned according to your specific needs. These features significantly reduce the stress associated with trailering operations, especially in tight spaces.

Updated Exterior Design

The 2025 Ram Heavy Duty features updated grilles with unique designs based on trim level, giving each model a distinctive appearance. LED headlamps now come standard across the lineup, with premium twin bi-functional projector LEDs available for enhanced visibility. New wheels cater to varied preferences with unique interpretations for different models. The available premium LED taillamps include Blind-spot Monitoring capabilities. These exterior updates not only improve functionality but also give your truck a bold, heroic presence that stands out from the crowd.

Premium Interior Features

Inside, the 2025 Ram Heavy Duty offers thoughtful upgrades that enhance comfort and convenience. An available fully digital rearview mirror with tow mode provides an unobstructed rear view that improves safety and visibility, particularly while towing. Class-exclusive dual wireless phone charging enhances functionality for front passengers. The available 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster offers nearly two dozen different information menus, including driver-assist technologies status. These premium features transform the cabin into a more comfortable and capable workspace that reduces fatigue during long days behind the wheel.
