- Ram’s facelifted 2025 Heavy Duty lineup will feature new front-end styling and upgraded technology.
- The company released pictures early as prototypes will soon be testing undisguised to ensure their cooling systems are up to snuff.
- We can expect to learn more later this year, but Ram CEO Chris Feuell has previously confirmed an “improved” Cummins engine.
Testing of the 2025 Ram Heavy Duty lineup is entering the final phase and that means prototypes will soon be running on public roads without camouflage. This has pushed the company to give us an early look at the facelifted pickup truck as it’s better than some “badly lit snapshot out the window at 70 miles per hour.”
It’s hard to argue with that and the pictures reveal the 2500 and 3500 will adopt a new front end with a revised grille that is flanked by split lighting units. We can also see a new ram air hood as well as updated mirrors and taillights. Additional changes are limited, but it looks like we’ll get an updated third brake light that could incorporate some new cameras or sensors.

While Ram isn’t saying much about the Heavy Duty lineup, CEO Chris Feuell has previously revealed the pickup will incorporate the latest technology from the refreshed Ram 1500. This suggests the model could have an improved 12-inch infotainment system as well as a newly available 14.5-inch display.
The trucks may also be offered with a dual wireless smartphone charger and a newly available 10.25-inch front passenger display. We also wouldn’t be surprised to see a Tungsten trim or the addition of Hands-Free Driving Assist.
More interestingly, Feuell has previously confirmed an “improved powertrain, thanks to our friends at Cummins.” The current model boasts a 6.7-liter Cummins turbodiesel inline-six engine that delivers 370 hp (276 kW / 375 PS) and 850 lb-ft (1,151 Nm) of torque, alongside a higher-output version offering 420 hp (313 kW / 426 PS) and 1,075 lb-ft (1,456 Nm).
Rumors have suggested the diesel lineup could be streamlined to include a single powertrain that is paired to a new eight-speed automatic transmission. While that remains to be seen, it’s pretty clear the Cummins powertrain is set to steal the spotlight in this upcoming lineup.
