What it is

This 2025 Ram 1500 HFE 2WD is a pickup in the EPA's Standard Pickup Trucks 2WD class. It sends power to the rear wheels through an automatic eight-speed transmission.

The powertrain combines a 3.6-liter six-cylinder engine with a gasoline hybrid setup. Its defining EPA figure is 23 MPG combined.

The numbers

The EPA rates it at 20 MPG in city driving and 26 MPG on the highway. The 23 MPG combined figure gives one number for mixed driving, while the separate city and highway ratings show how your route can change results.

Tailpipe carbon dioxide is listed at 394 grams per mile.

What it costs to run

EPA estimates put yearly fuel cost at $2,900. Your actual spending will depend on how much you drive and whether your trips look more like the city or highway test.

How it compares

A 23 MPG combined rating is the figure to line up with other pickups when you compare fuel use.

Who it suits

This truck suits a buyer who wants a Ram pickup with rear-wheel drive and a hybrid gasoline powertrain, while keeping the EPA combined rating at 23 MPG.

It makes the most sense for drivers whose use mixes city and highway travel and who want an annual fuel-cost estimate before choosing a pickup.

Trade-offs

The 26 MPG highway rating is higher than its 20 MPG city rating, so frequent stop-and-go driving is reflected in the lower city number. The EPA annual fuel estimate is $2,900.

Rear-wheel drive and the Standard Pickup Trucks 2WD class define its layout. The 3.6-liter six-cylinder engine, eight-speed automatic, gasoline fuel and hybrid designation complete the powertrain details.

Verdict

Choose the 2025 Ram 1500 HFE 2WD when a rear-driven Ram pickup and a 23 MPG combined EPA rating fit your priorities. Its 20 city and 26 highway figures give a clear expectation for different routes, while the $2,900 annual fuel estimate helps set a running-cost budget. The 394-gram-per-mile tailpipe figure and gasoline-based hybrid setup are part of the ownership picture.
