Ram Trucks just made a bold move that every serious truck owner should pay attention to. In an era where vehicles are lasting longer and buyers are holding onto their investments, Stellantis has announced a major update to Ram’s warranty coverage: a five-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty for its gas-powered 2025 Ram 1500 models. This is more than just a footnote in the automotive world—it’s a statement. And here at Deur-Speet Motors, we know exactly what it means for drivers across Fremont and the surrounding communities.
Key Announcement
- Ram (under Stellantis) has extended its powertrain warranty.
- New coverage: 5 years/100,000 miles for gas-powered 2025 Ram 1500 models.
- Applies to retail customers only, not commercial fleet buyers.
- Warranty is transferable to subsequent owners.
A Warranty Built for the Long Haul
Trucks are no longer just workhorses—they’re long-term assets. Across the country, owners are holding onto their pickups longer than ever before, often surpassing the 10-year mark with pride. And for good reason. Ram trucks, especially, have become synonymous with strength, performance, and durability. The updated warranty reflects this shift, acknowledging that these machines are meant to last.
By extending the powertrain coverage to five years or 100,000 miles—whichever comes first—Ram is answering the call for confidence. This new standard significantly improves upon the previous three-year/60,000-mile coverage for gas engines. For heavy-duty drivers, off-road adventurers, and Michigan families alike, this warranty update is more than welcome. It’s essential.
HEMI Is Back: A Moment of Redemption
Just when we thought the iconic HEMI V8 might ride off into the sunset, Ram pulled a twist worthy of a movie trailer. After years of phasing it out in favor of smaller turbocharged engines, the HEMI is making a comeback in the 2025 Ram 1500. Tim Kuniskis, Ram’s new CEO, didn’t just drop the news—he dropped an apology. In a candid and surprisingly entertaining YouTube video, Kuniskis admitted the company got it wrong. The fans wanted the HEMI, and Ram listened.
That kind of honesty is rare in the automotive world, and at Deur-Speet Motors, we respect it. We operate with the same values—owning mistakes, listening to customers, and doing what’s right, even when it means changing course. The return of the HEMI isn’t just a win for muscle and nostalgia; it’s a victory for customer-first thinking.
What It Means for Drivers in Fremont and Beyond
Located in the heart of Fremont, MI, our dealership has served generations of truck owners who depend on their vehicles not just for transportation, but for life. From farming to construction, from family road trips to snowy commutes, trucks in our area put in serious work. That’s why we’re excited about this warranty. It reinforces what we’ve always told our customers: Ram trucks are built to last—and now they’re backed to last.
This updated warranty is especially meaningful in Michigan, where weather can be tough on drivetrains and road conditions are far from forgiving. The reassurance that comes with an extended powertrain warranty can’t be overstated. It’s peace of mind in a world of rising repair costs.
Who Benefits Most?
This move targets drivers who plan to own and drive their Ram well beyond the average loan term. For truck owners who aren’t trading in every 2–3 years, but instead running their vehicle for a decade or more, this is a tangible financial advantage. The new coverage could save thousands in out-of-pocket expenses over time.
It also boosts resale value. If you’re someone who maintains your vehicle and eventually sells or trades it in, an extended powertrain warranty helps preserve value and instills confidence in future buyers. That’s something we at Deur-Speet Motors constantly emphasize to our customers—smart ownership starts with a smart investment.
The Bigger Picture: Ram’s Commitment to Quality
Ram isn’t making this decision in a vacuum. It’s responding to a broader industry shift and making a strategic play against competitors. As full-size truck prices continue to climb, buyers are becoming more discerning. Ram is stepping up—not only by reviving the beloved HEMI but also by standing behind their engineering with longer protection.
This isn’t just about repair costs. It’s about trust. At a time when many automakers are cutting costs or transitioning to unfamiliar electric platforms, Ram is doubling down on what its loyal drivers actually want: proven power, rugged dependability, and assurance on the road ahead.
