2025 Dodge RAM 1500 Tungsten - Wild Super Big Pickup Truck!

Global International Auto https://auto.ru/reseller/114579078/all/ Bad Boy: The 2025 Ram 1500 Tungsten 4x4 High Output Goes Hard This Ram’s 540-hp twin-turbo six-cylinder engine yields some impressive results. Pros Big-time engine Class-appropriate braking and handling Interior loaded with features, including Klipsch audio Cons Expensive Better have a solid fuel budget, especially if you’re a lead foot Can’t fully disable stability control You might have read our recent First Test report on the 2025 Ram 1500 Laramie Standard Output pickup truck. If you didn’t, the gist is it impressed us a fair amount in a straight line and less so in our braking and handling tests. We also tested a 2025 Ram with the carryover Pentastar V-6; it was, uh, less impressive. We’ve now put a more potent refreshed Ram through our battery of tests, namely the 2025 Ram 1500 Crew Cab Tungsten 4x4 High Output. More Juice to Squeeze As outlined in our Laramie First Test review—and ignoring for our purposes here the Pentastar E-Torque V-6 models, the all-electric Ram REV, and the upcoming plug-in hybrid Ramcharger—the truck brand has binned the Hemi V-8 and replaced it with a choice of two Hurricane 3.0-liter twin-turbo inline-six engines. Whereas the Laramie we tested employed the “standard output” 420-hp, 469-lb-ft straight-six turbo (SST in Ram parlance), the 2025 Ram 1500 Tungsten boasted the “high-output” SST option, which makes peak power and torque figures of 540 hp and 521 lb-ft. Considering the low-output SST truck posted a 0–60-mph time of 5.0 seconds and covered the quarter mile in 13.7 seconds at 98.3 mph, we were intrigued to see what the top-trim Ram 1500 Tungsten with the top engine is capable of. Does it offer plenty of power and acceleration when you need it for towing, hauling, climbing grades, transporting a full crew, merging on the freeway, and more? The simple answer is yes. Despite weighing 5,960 pounds—a significant 308 pounds more than the well-optioned Ram 1500 Laramie we tested, due to being the top-shelf trim loaded with even more standard equipment—the Ram 1500 Crew Cab Tungsten High Output flew off the line and reached 60 mph in just 4.4 seconds. (The biggest weight-adders are massaging 24-way seats, a sunroof, and the 1,200-watt high-end Klipsch surround-sound audio system.) After bettering its Standard Output sibling in that metric by 0.6 second, it carried on through the quarter mile in 13.0 seconds at 105.0 mph. Looking past the Ram 1500 Laramie’s performance and at the bigger picture, these two results place it eighth on our list of the quickest combustion-powered pickup trucks we’ve ever tested. By comparison, the 2023 Ford F-150 Raptor R is the quickest by virtue of reaching 60 mph in a serious-sports-car-like 3.7 seconds and dispatching the quarter mile in 12.1 seconds at 111.8 mph. But the Ram 1500 Tungsten is the quickest six-cylinder truck we’ve ever tested, followed by the new 2025 Ram Tradesman Crew Cab with the standard-output engine. The latter posted a 4.8-second 0–60 time and 13.5 seconds in the quarter mile at 100.9 mph. The best non-2025 Ram on that list is a twin-turbo V-6-powered 2017 Ford F-150 Raptor SuperCab that reached 60 in 5.2 seconds and dispatched the quarter mile in 13.9 seconds at 97.3 mph. That’s a long way behind the Ram 1500 Tungsten. Read More https://www.motortrend.com/reviews/20... 📌 Instagram ▶   / medcars.tv   📌 Tiktok ▶   / cartvpress
