2025 Ram 2500 vs Grand Cherokee 4xe: Choosing What Fits Your Life
Many drivers who visit our dealership are torn between the rugged strength of a truck and the clean efficiency of a modern SUV. The 2025 Ram 2500 and 2025 Grand Cherokee 4xe offer two very different experiences. One is made for serious towing and hauling, while the other blends electric driving with premium comfort. If you’re unsure which direction to go, let’s walk through what each one offers so you can feel confident in your choice.
Strong Pull or Electric Power
Ram 2500 comes with a 6.4-litre HEMI V8 engine that delivers 410 horsepower and 429 lb-ft of torque. Towing capacity reaches up to 17,740 lbs. This makes it ideal for pulling trailers, boats, or work equipment. Fuel tank capacity is a massive 189 litres, helping you go farther between stops. Grand Cherokee 4xe is powered by a 2.0-litre turbocharged plug-in hybrid setup with 375 horsepower and 470 lb-ft of torque. Towing capacity is rated at 6,000 lbs, and it gives an estimated 4.2 Le/100 km with an electric driving range of 42 km. Drivers needing raw towing strength will benefit more from the Ram 2500. The 4xe works better for those who focus on daily fuel savings with occasional towing needs.
Room to Haul or Room to Pack
Cargo space makes a big difference, depending on your lifestyle. The Ram 2500 is built to move serious loads. Its cargo bed offers an enormous 11,893 litres of space, ready for building materials, equipment, or just about anything else. Seating depends on cab style, with options for up to six people. Inside materials range from durable cloth to premium leather, depending on trim. Grand Cherokee 4xe offers 1,067 litres of space behind the second row and 2,005 litres when the seats are folded down. This is plenty for weekend bags, camping gear, or groceries. Seating is for five, and the cabin design focuses more on comfort and quiet. If your day involves work and hauling, the Ram’s large bed wins this round. For personal use and smart storage, the 4xe is a great fit.
Tech That Works with You
Ram 2500 now features the Uconnect 5 system as standard across all trims. Screen sizes range from 8.4-inches to 12.0-inches, with a new 14.4-inch touchscreen available. Wireless Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and an optional 10-speaker Alpine sound system make it feel smart and functional. The Grand Cherokee 4xe offers a 10.1-inch touchscreen, wireless charging, and an available 19-speaker McIntosh audio system. Features like ventilated seats, heated windows, and keyless entry are available in both. While the 4xe offers more high-end finishes, the Ram provides more screen size choices and a system that’s easy to use while working.
Safety with Support
Ram 2500 offers essential safety features like forward collision warning, blind spot monitoring, and an optional 360-degree surround view camera. These help greatly with towing and navigating tight job sites. Grand Cherokee 4xe includes advanced safety systems such as adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist, driver attention alerts, and rear cross path detection—all standard. Drivers who prioritize safety tech without having to upgrade trims will find more built-in protection with the 4xe.
