Pricing and specs revealed for updated 2025 Ram 2500 and 3500

Ram Trucks Australia has released prices and specifications for the MY25 Ram 2500 and 3500 Heavy Duty pick-ups ahead of showroom deliveries in November. Prices remain unchanged from the outgoing models: $172,950 plus on-road costs for the 2500 and $177,950 for the 3500.

At the heart of the MY25 Ram 2500 and 3500 is a revised 6.7-litre in-line six-cylinder Cummins turbo-diesel engine producing 313kW and 1458Nm – 13 per cent more power and 26 per cent more torque than the previous model. Changes include a redesigned engine block and head, heavy-duty pistons, a new turbocharger, larger intake and exhaust valves, and improved intake port geometry. A new eight-speed ZF TorqueFlite automatic replaces the old six-speed transmission, and a revised final drive ratio lowers revs at highway speeds. 

“We want people to make sure they have the right vehicle for their intended purpose,” said Jeff Barber, the General Manager of Ram Trucks Australia. “In many cases, that means stepping up to a Ram 2500. The MY25 Ram 2500 and 3500 Heavy Duty has more technology, more creature comforts and more luxury than ever before. It’s the most luxurious version of the 2500 and 3500 we have introduced in Australia. And that is a reflection of changing customer preferences.”

The MY25 range comes standard in Australia with the Black Pack, which is an optional package in the United States. It includes a black grille, wheels, side mirrors, side steps and the ‘Sport Hood’ power bulge bonnet. Inside, a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster sits alongside a 12.0-inch infotainment screen.

Dual wireless phone chargers, a nine-speaker Alpine audio system, and a five-seat layout with a multi-layer centre console are standard. Front leather seats are heated and cooled with eight-way power adjustment, and brake and accelerator pedals are electronically height-adjustable. Rear seats offer under-seat storage with a fold-out platform.

Safety features include lane-keeping assist, speed-sign recognition, driver fatigue monitoring, autonomous emergency braking with pedestrian and cyclist detection, and a side-view monitor that activates when signalling. All four mirrors are electronically adjustable and extend automatically for towing.

Towing capacities are 3500kg (50mm tow ball), 4500kg (70mm tow ball), and 8000 kg (fifth wheel or gooseneck). The 2500 has a payload of 785kg and a maximum Gross Combination Mass of 12,750kg; while the 3500 offers a payload of 1652kg and a Gross Combination Mass of 14,433kg. The vehicle launches in second gear by default, automatically switching to first when towing or hauling heavy loads. Exhaust brakes assist with long descents, and the column shifter is electronically controlled.
