Earlier this month, Ram hit reverse to appease its customers by bringing back the beloved Hemi V8 to its 1500 full-size pickup. Now, it’s pushing forward with something the company has never offered before: a 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty across its lineup of trucks and vans. Ram’s current powertrain warranty for 2025 gas-powered vehicles lasts for five years or 60,000 miles, while diesel vehicles are covered by a five-year/100,000-mile warranty.
