The 2025 Ram 1500 MPG rating is split across three excellent engines:

3.6-Liter Pentastar V-6 w/ eTorque

Mild hybrid capabilities and refined reliability let this 305-horsepower engine deliver the highest Ram 1500 MPG ratings.

  • 2WD (Tradesman HFE): EPA-estimated 20/26/23 MPG (City/Highway/Combined)1
  • 2WD: EPA-estimated 20/25/22 MPG (City/Highway/Combined)2
  • 4WD: EPA-estimated 19/24/21 MPG (City/Highway/Combined)3

3.0-Liter Hurricane Twin-Turbo I-6

Brand new for the redesigned new Ram 1500 trucks, this 420-horsepower engine exceeds the Ram 1500 MPG V-8 options could deliver.

  • 2WD: EPA-estimated 18/25/21 MPG (City/Highway/Combined)4
  • 4WD: EPA-estimated 17/24/19 MPG (City/Highway/Combined)5

High-Output 3.0-Liter Hurricane Twin-Turbo I-6

Motivating the upper-tier Ram 1500 trim levels and blasting the new Ram 1500 RHO across any terrain, this engine makes 540 horsepower and only pairs with 4WD.

  • 4WD: EPA-estimated 15/21/17 MPG (City/Highway/Combined)6
  • 4WD (RHO): EPA-estimated 14/16/15 MPG (City/Highway/Combined)7
How Far Can a Ram 1500 Go on One Tank of Gas?

How Far Can a Ram 1500 Go on One Tank of Gas?

Using the highest Ram 1500 fuel economy rating (from the Tradesman HFE) and multiplying it by the 23-gallon V-6 Ram 1500 fuel tank size for that trim, we can estimate a combined range of 529 miles1 on a full tank. The Hurricane engine pairs with a 26-gallon fuel tank, delivering up to a 546-mile combined range with 2WD.4 The V-6 engine can also combine with this tank size when configured with a Crew Cab layout. The High-Output Hurricane engine has a 33-gallon tank, which delivers up to a 561-mile combined range.6

Does the Ram 1500 Fuel Economy Vary by Trim?

Yes, but the most important factor in determining fuel economy when browsing all new Ram inventory will be the engine and drivetrain combination. The Tradesman HFE, though, is the most significant trim-based difference, as it delivers the highest Ram 1500 MPG rating.

The 2WD Ram 1500 Big Horn MPG rating will be the same as in the 2WD Tradesman trim, as they share the 3.6-liter V-6 engine. The Hurricane-powered Ram 1500 Laramie 4WD and Rebel (which is only available in 4WD) also share close ratings. See more details below:
