MotorTrend has named the Ram 1500 as its 2025 Truck of the Year award winner.
The truck was chosen on the strength of its value, excellent new powertrain and broad appeal, among other criteria, the publication said. Each MotorTrend Truck of the Year competitor is judged against six key criteria: safety, value, advancement in design, engineering excellence, efficiency and performance of intended function.
The MotorTrend editorial team put three Ram 1500s to the test, including the Warlock, RHO and Tungsten tiers. The expert testing team noted improvements to the truck’s power output, technology and handling, the publication said, noting Ram’s engine update, replacing the Hemi V8 with the new twin-turbocharged Hurricane I-6 engine.
