2025 Ram 1500 Current Owners - Discussion, Feedback, and Problems

[KevInSD]

Well I picked my BigHorn up today (traded in my '19 BigHorn) and I'm really liking it so far. I had about an hour drive home and the Hurricane is smooth as silk. This one has the bigger 12" screen which will take a little time to get familiar with but overall I'm happy with the truck. Hopefully that continues to be the case! I put over 40,000 miles a year on so this will get a great test over the next few years.

Here's a quick picture I took when I got home and a picture of what it's replacing.

Really like that new front end! Can't really tell it's a big horn.

Nobody makes a front receiver for the 2025 RAM 1500 unless you want to cut off the front steel bumper.

Will be interesting to see also what octane of fuel is used. I have been running nothing but 93 and so far have not had an issue in 2,800 miles.

I have only used 93 and I have a misfire code in cylinder 2, 4 and 5..1800 miles

Hey all!
Does anyone have a wiring diagram for the tail lights on the 25’s? Trying to install a tailgate light bar and need to hardwire it into the tail light

Yes, from what I'm finding the tow hooks should work. Looking at a couple trucks that had the tow hooks their does not appear to be a separate bezel for the 2025, the cut outs are in the plastic part of the lower grill now with the bezels already kind of built in with the covers behind them. All you should have to do is push the tabs on the back side of the covers to remove. I see mopar sites selling kits for the 2025's with the old bezels, they clearly will not fit and are not needed.

Just pop them out from the front with a screwdriver or the end of a broom handle. They're not screwed in any more. They'll push right out. Good news is, the passenger side tow hook is a cake walk. The driver side, not so much. The passenger side took me 10 minutes at best, the driver side, however, ate up most of an hour. Lots of stuff in the way. This was done laying on my back in the driveway.

The 25 tail lights work in tandem top/bottom with each other, not independently of each other like the 24 on down incandescent versions . The wiring harness is easy, surprisingly old school(ish).

Will the LED Limited Tail lights be plug and play replacements for the non LED's on the Laramie/Big Horn?

Makes me wish I would have went with a Rebel.

wouldnt have any other one, except for the RHO maybe

Just picked up a ‘25 Laramie today. Love it but got a “service trailer brake” pop up during the test drive. Dealer said they will reset it but it popped back on when I drove it off the lot…any known issues with this happening? Taking it back Monday cause they are doing some other stuff I want done and I was gonna have them look into it again but wanted to see if anyone has encountered this issue as well

I have about 1,100 miles on my BigHorn now and so far I'm loving it. The ride quality of a RAM has always been nice but the effortless power of the Hurricane is pretty awesome and the engine is so smooth. I just did a mixed trip of speeds ranging from 55-82 and my computer is showing just over 20mpg.

The only issue I've seen so far is the Lane Assist has been a little temperamental. The warning bells start going off telling me to put my hands on the wheel even when one or both of my hands are on the wheel. A couple of times it did that and then the system shut off.

The other issue I noticed was on a highway where they had just painted lanes, someone must have driven over the fresh paint along the shoulder and drug a line of paint on to the main part of the lane. The camera picked up that stray paint line and jerked me to the left. Thankfully it didn't create an issue but it definitely got my attention.

Outside of that I'm loving this thing so far!

Also, I'd be lying of I said I didn't miss the sound of the Hemi. The hurricane is QUIET! It's almost hard to hear at startup. That's about the only downside so far but everything else has been great.

Will the LED Limited Tail lights be plug and play replacements for the non LED's on the Laramie/Big Horn?

I doubt it, unless you can get the dealer to switch the sales code to the LED option. I got bulbs from Headlight Revolution. It was about $225 for 4 tail light bulbs, and 2 reverse light bulbs. They're 100% no error, but the OBD port will tattle on you when they plug into it. A big banner will flash across the page "Non-Factory Bulbs Installed". They work fine, and they're a LOT brighter than any OEM setup. You have to get the Limited or Tungsten to get the LED tail lights. Dodge really cheaped out on the Laramie. Other than leather seats and a few bobbles, there's really not much difference between the Laramie and Bighorn. You can skin the Bighorn seats with leather, and still come out cheaper. It's ridiculous.
