Keeping the 6.4 Hemi, good choice. When I do decide to replace our current 1500 Classic a 2500 is high up on the list. "Heavy Duty" trucks aren't counted in CAFE numbers so soon enough they'll be the only thing consumers can still get a gas V8 in.

NEW = REFRESH I guess.

I like the looks of it better than the current 5th gens. The HP/TQ bump on the Cummins is nice too (but honestly isn't needed).

 

[04fxdwgi]

Look of "hood not closed" is a design feature? Do better folks.

 

[Fatbob Frank]

Right- the lack of refresh is hurting sales...
Ever consider the MSRP on new trucks might have something to do with it?

I saw photos of the inside, could not see any change’s.
I look forward to seeing them on the lot to get a better view.

Most changes are on the cummins. External injectors. Made it easier for maintence. one version of the cummins which is now a 12k option rather then a 9k - 12k option between SO and HO. They made adaptive cruise control standard and a few other things. New trans. they did some stuff to the 6.7L line. oh and added a passenger screen in the dash. what ever that does. New 10 vein turbo. back to iron block. different lifters.

One of the reviews also said standard column shifter as they got rid of the dial knob on all HD trucks. The video I watched had a 2025 HD Cummins with the column shift and Powerline ZF.

 

[oledirteh]

mainly for the plow truck drivers. trying to hold a controller + dial shift is a major hassle.

 

[nlambert182]

Was the dial knob just a thing in the gassers? None of my Cummins trucks have ever had the dial. My Hemi did, though. It sucked.

yes. the gassers have them.

I was sad when i didnt have a floor shifter for the 4x4 in my HO.

That shift dial is one of the dumbest things they ever came up with. It is too close in size and position to the audio and HVAC controls and the knob is the same texture. I shouldn't have to take my eyes off the road to make sure I'm adjusting the fan speed and not putting it in reverse while moving.

The reported direction stelantis is going with a bunch of hooky stuff most truck guys could care less on, I say be more weary of when these things change. People wanting change be careful what you ask for.

I totally agree! I live on top of a hill with a 20ft raise in the driveway over 220ft. I can tell halfway up on snow if I need to switch to 4wd... Nothing like tuning the stereo up and sliding backwards down the hill!

A shower and clean underwear needed after that, I'm sure!!!

 

[Andrew Austin]

I don’t have any issues with the dial shifter, but Insure love pulling the floor lever for the 4wd in the Power Wagon!

Ditto...

 

[oledirteh]

i was sad when my truck came with a button for 4wd. i wanted the floor shifter. but i guess thats what i get with having a place to sit my phone and console storage

The main reason I decided not to get a 75th anniversary Power Wagon when I ordered mine was I wanted the floor shifter...
