Ram 1500 Gas Mileage
Combining robust performance with impressive fuel economy, this pickup is engineered to handle demanding tasks without compromising on efficiency. While the 2025 Ram 1500 does away with the HEMI V-8 engine option, it now offers the more fuel-efficient Hurricane Twin-Turbo powertrain. That being said, let's dive into the details of the Ram 1500 fuel economy by engine.
For the best 2025 Ram 1500 gas mileage, go with the 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 engine with eTorque. This engine produces up to 305 horsepower and 269 pound-feet of torque. Combining this engine with two-wheel drive (2WD) and an eight-speed automatic transmission results in a powertrain that can deliver an EPA-estimated 20/26 MPG (City/Highway). With four-wheel drive (4WD), this setup gets an EPA-estimated MPG of 19/24 (City/Highway). This engine gives the Ram 1500 a maximum towing capacity of 8,110 pounds when properly equipped.
Next up to the plate is the 3.0-liter Hurricane engine. This engine makes 420 horsepower and 469 pound-feet of torque. A 2WD setup with an eight-speed automatic transmission gives you an EPA-estimated 18/25 MPG (City/Highway). The EPA-estimated MPG becomes 17/24 MPG (City/Highway) with 4WD.
Last but not least is the High-Output 3.0-liter Hurricane engine, which comes standard on the RHO, Limited, Limited Longhorn, and all-new Tungsten trim. It offers incredible power and thrills, with 540 horsepower and 521 pound-feet of torque. This Ram 1500 powertrain only comes with 4WD and uses an eight-speed automatic transmission to get up to an EPA-estimated 15/21 MPG (City/Highway/Combined).
If having the best 2025 Ram 1500 MPG is your top priority, the 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 engine with eTorque is the best option. This engine gets the highest EPA-estimated MPG figures for both 2WD and 4WD models. While it doesn't unlock this truck's maximum towing capacity – that distinction goes to the 3.0-liter Hurricane engine, which is capable of towing 11,550 pounds – it still has enough strength to pull a small boat or a trailer.

The Ram 1500 offers more than fuel efficiency. It is a capable tower and hauler, and it's great for off-roading – especially if you select certain trims and a 4WD drivetrain.
While this truck is built to work hard, that doesn't mean it doesn't have a playful side. Its smooth handling and Uconnect infotainment offerings can help keep your family comfortable and entertained on your journeys, and it can just as easily help you bring along the family camper as it can transport a utility trailer to a job site. When you stop by our dealership for a test drive, you'll be able to feel its power and hear its rumble for yourself.
However, if you discover that this truck is not the right one for you, the rest of our Ram inventory will always be available. The Ram 2500 is a more heavy-duty version of its Ram 1500 sibling – and let's not forget about the Ram 3500, the strongest of them all.
