Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2025 4500.
The 2025 Ram 4500 lands as the most recent model year in a lineage that NHTSA complaint records have tracked without interruption from 2008 through 2026, giving researchers nearly two decades of continuous data to draw on. Across that span, 2014 stands as the noisiest year on file with eight logged complaints, while 2009 marks the floor with a single filing, a range that frames just how muted the truck's overall complaint footprint has been. Positioned well past those early- and mid-cycle fluctuations, the 2025 model enters the market on a reliability record researchers can evaluate against a long, consistent baseline rather than a sudden shift in consumer experience.
Condensed service procedures for routine maintenance. Procedures that require dealer diagnostic equipment are identified and summarized only.
