Anyone getting a 2025 with the I6 Hurricane?

I hope your wrong, I need my truck by the end of June at the latest. Otherwise Mark Dodge is going to keep my deposit for my Tungsten. I'll just move over to a Raptor at that point.
A tungsten to a raptor, talk about apples to oranges lol.
 
Sorry…you’ll need to “show your work” to receive credit for this answer. Otherwise, it’s an unsubstantiated claim that fails to demonstrate any engineering knowledge of the engine’s design. One could even label this as trolling…
The material spec alone on the new engine is off the charts for any engine. From my experience, it is built like a drag car engine. but with production/cost issues in mind, as it should be. Yes it's small and high pressure, but It is not a passenger car engine.

Looks like my local dealer has three 2025 Bighorn's and four Laramie's on the lot now. Already marked down about $3000 off MSRP. I'm pretty surprised by that, especially with a lot full of 24’s and even a few 23’s.😲

The Night Edition taillights look much better than the taillights on the other packages.

Music is annoying at the end. Think they wanted to cover up the exhaust sound.😆
 
Did a general search for 25s on cars.com and it looks like the ones showing up at dealers are starting to get listed:

- Laramie - https://www.cars.com/vehicledetail/a2f61ddd-fced-4526-9347-4a600d5dc330/
- Bighorn - https://www.cars.com/vehicledetail/4e2295c7-629b-40e4-89cd-e48228990dc0/
- Bighorn -https://www.cars.com/vehicledetail/87926804-ca0e-45d6-bbe3-914885154aa7/
- Bighorn -https://www.cars.com/vehicledetail/527c3d3f-4d0b-49e2-9b79-bd7d1dd9c212/
- Bighorn - https://www.cars.com/vehicledetail/af78a8dd-0176-4759-b0ab-9d834f60bbdc/

There are more listed but you guys get the idea.

The RAM on the back doesn't look as bad as I thought (especially after reading thread comments lol). I would much rather have the logo too, but they're just copying what every other truck (Tundra, Ford, etc) have already been doing. I do not like the rear bumper though.

This one is pretty much what I ordered:

I like the RAM logo on the tailgate in black...the chrome version looks like a billboard. I ordered tailgate with the barn doors to remove that logo.

That was a good choice. I was never a fan of the MFTG but now it sure looks much better without the big letters.

That looks so much better than the non NE tails. But I still like the '19-'24 tail lights better. The more of I see of the '25's the less I like them. Which is the opposite of what normally happens for me when a redesign comes out, for any truck brand.

I agree, the more blacked out color just looks better. I looked at a NE Big horn at my dealer, looks pretty good. Not sure I'm sold on the new Big Horn NE wheels though, flat black plastic clad. I can see why they use clad wheels for chrome, but if you have a colored wheel, why not just paint the wheel instead of painting a plastic cover to sick on it.
 
The chrome tailgate letters are hideous. Way better in black. On the NE's, what's up with the raised white letter tires? I would have them reversed before I drive it off the lot.
 
Just checked out a few 25’s that came in this week. Both were Bighorn’s. Other than the SST on the hood and a few very minor cosmetic changes on the exterior they look pretty much the same especially the interior. I was pretty underwhelmed.

Hopefully the upper trim levels are a bit more exciting. Very happy I’m not in the market for a new truck for at least a few more years.

Breaks up the all black. Without the raised white letters the wheels start looking like this black donut spares cars come with 🤣.
 
Not a big fan of the black tailgate letters, the chrome letters are hideous. I originally tried a red overlay on the letters but they clashed a bit with the flame red. Tried these red outlines and like them much better.

Kinda nice, maybe someone will make a black overlay to go with billet silver.
 
Probably why NASCAR goes with the big white letters although provably for advertising as well
