What changed for the 2025 Ram 1500
- 2025Mid-cycle refresh: 5.7L HEMI dropped, 3.0L Hurricane SST I6 (SO 420 hp / HO 540 hp incl. RHO) replaces it; 3.6L eTorque continues as base; Tungsten flagship added. (HEMI returns for 2026 after customer backlash.)
Known problems with the 2025 Ram 1500
1 of the 6 issues we track for the 2019–2025 generation is documented against the 2025 model year.
Air suspension leaks and compressor failure
majorAs on the DS, DT trucks with optional air suspension eventually leak, sagging overnight, 'vehicle lowering' warnings, or a compressor running constantly until it burns out. Dealers commonly quote $1,700+ for a compressor and more per air spring; diagnosis matters because a single leaking spring will kill a good compressor.
Typical cost: $1,700–$4,000
5 more issues reported in other 2019–2025 years
- HEMI 'tick', lifter and camshaft failure (5.7L) — 2019–2024 (5.7L)
- eTorque stalling and 48V faults (recalls + investigation) — 2019–2024 (eTorque-equipped)

About the Ram 1500
The Ram 1500 is a full-size half-ton pickup, and the 2012–2025 span covers two long-lived generations plus a naming quirk that trips up parts lookups. 0L EcoDiesel joined in 2014. Crucially, the DS kept selling as the 'Ram 1500 Classic' through 2024 alongside the new truck, so a '2021 Ram 1500' can be either body.
Classic trucks use this page's DS-generation data. 0L Hurricane inline-six (420 or 540 hp). 5-quart oil capacities, Group 65 vs H7 batteries, flooded vs AGM vs 48V packs, and a HEMI lifter/camshaft 'tick' plus air-suspension and EcoDiesel EGR-cooler issues that are well documented in NHTSA data.
