While the Pentastar remains the fuel-efficient choice, here’s how the Hurricane stacks up to the Hemi.
The EPA has published the fuel economy figures for the 2025 Ram 1500 pickups.The 2025 Ram 1500 replaces the Hemi V8 platform with the 3.0-liter Hurricane inline six-cylinder.The 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 carries over with the same fuel-economy ratings.Ram’s latest 1500 pickup ditches the Hemi and swaps in the turbocharged 3.0-liter Hurricane I6. While it makes more power, there were still questions about the straight-six mill.
You can add an extra drive axle, which drags the Hurricane-powered Ram down to 19 mpg combined. However, there’s more to the story than just the numbers.Even though that’s a meager bump in efficiency, there is something to be said for the bump in performance. The standard output Hurricane makes 420 hp and 469 lb-ft of torque. That bests the 5.7-liter Hemi by 25 hp and 59 lb-ft of torque. Again, not world-shifting figures, but more power and slightly better fuel efficiency isn’t a bad formula.
