Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2025 4500.
The 2025 Ram 4500 is evaluated here within a complaint history that stretches across model years 2008 through 2026, a long observation span that lets researchers compare the current truck against more than fifteen years of documented owner feedback. Across that entire window, reported complaints peak at just eight for the 2014 model year and bottom out at one for 2009, indicating a comparatively restrained grievance pattern rather than a sustained problem surge. Because the 2025 model lands near the end of this tracked range, it can be read against a backdrop of modest complaint volume, though the low counts mean any single report carries extra weight when judging year-to-year consistency.
