Keep reading to explore the 2025 RAM 2500 Cummins specs and how more powerful this engine is compared to the HEMI® V8. From the 2025 RAM 2500 horsepower to the 0-60 times, let’s examine the diesel specs with its gas-powered counterpart.

2025 RAM 2500 Diesel Specs: The 6.7L Cummins High-Output Turbo Diesel I6
Boasting 1,075 lb-ft of torque, the 2025 RAM 2500 Cummins specs will take you further on the Paradis roads. See how the inline 6 engine compares to the 6.4L HEMI® V8 in terms of the 2025 RAM 2500 horsepower specs and more:
- Horsepower: 430 hp @ 2,800 rpm
- Torque: 1,075 lb-ft of torque @ 1,800 rpm

While the new 6.7L Cummins engine only improves on the 2025 RAM 2500 horsepower specs of the 6.4L HEMI® by about 25 ponies, the former is a diesel-powered engine and achieves this with far lower engine speeds (5,600 rpm for the HEMI® versus 2,800 rpm for the Cummins). Therefore, the 6.7L Cummins is more powerful than the HEMI® V8, especially when dealing with intense projects around Hahnville.
The latest Cummins diesel engine also improves the RAM 2500 0-60 times, pushing it down to 6.9 seconds from 8.0 seconds in the 2024 model year.
As you can see, the 6.7L Cummins provides huge towing power with the RAM 2500 and quickens pickup.
