Bye, bye Chrysler Hemi.

The 2025 Ram 1500 pickup is dropping the Hemi V8 from its order sheet and replacing it with a 3.0-liter turbocharged Hurricane inline six-cylinder.
Ram will still offer the 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 with the eTorque mild hybrid system as its base powertrain.
Ram will offer two Hurricane variants for 2025, with the standard Hurricane making 420 hp and 469 lb-ft of torque, and the Hurricane High
Output Straight-Six Turbo making 540 hp and 521 lb-ft of torque.

Wayne, quite a difference in looks. The new engine will last longer, require less maintenance, get better fuel mileage, and more horsepower. But when something goes wrong, oh boy, then it will be hard for a backyard mechanic to repair!
