The 2025 Dodge Demon Pickup Truck – yeah, you heard that right. Dodge is bringing back the Demon name, but this time it’s not just a muscle car. It’s a full-on pickup that’s packing heat like nothing else on the road. Is it really the king of power? We’re diving in to see what makes this beast tick, from its roaring engine to the smart tech that keeps it all in check. Buckle up; this one’s a wild ride.
A Engine That Roars Louder Than Thunder
At the heart of the 2025 Demon Pickup is a 6.2-liter supercharged HEMI V8. This isn’t your grandpa’s truck motor – it’s tuned to pump out a mind-blowing 840 horsepower and 770 lb-ft of torque. That’s more grunt than most sports cars, let alone a pickup hauling trailers or dirt bikes. Dodge says it hits 0-60 mph in under 3.5 seconds, which feels insane when you’re behind the wheel of something this big. They threw in drag radials and a beefed-up suspension to handle that power without spinning out. It’s like they took the Challenger Demon’s soul and crammed it into a truck bed. Towing? Up to 12,000 pounds easy, with sway control to keep loads steady. If you’re into off-roading or just want to smoke the competition at a stoplight, this engine delivers.
Smart Tech That Feels Like the Future
Dodge didn’t skimp on the brains here. The cabin’s loaded with a 12-inch touchscreen running Uconnect 5, Dodge’s slick infotainment system. It syncs with your phone for Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, and voice commands make everything hands-free. Safety tech? You’ve got adaptive cruise control that adjusts speed in traffic, blind-spot monitoring with cross-traffic alerts, and a 360-degree camera for tight spots. The Demon Pickup even has over-the-air updates, so your truck gets smarter without a trip to the dealer. Inside, it’s comfy too – leather seats with heating, a quiet ride thanks to active noise cancellation, and enough room for five adults. It’s tough on the outside but feels premium where it counts.
Mileage: Power Comes at a Cost
Let’s be real – with all that muscle, fuel economy isn’t the star of the show. Expect around 14 mpg city and 20 mpg highway on regular gas, dropping to the low teens if you’re towing heavy. Dodge added some efficiency tricks like cylinder deactivation, which shuts off half the engine on cruises to save a bit. It’s not a Prius, but for a supercharged V8 truck, it’s decent. Run it on E85 flex-fuel, and you might squeeze out a tad more power without killing your wallet at the pump. If green living’s your thing, this might not be it, but hey, power like this has a price.
Price Tag: Worth the Hype?
Starting at about $85,000, the base Demon Pickup ain’t cheap, but loaded models with all the bells climb past $100,000. That’s Ford Raptor territory, but Dodge claims better bang for your buck in raw speed. Add-ons like the performance package or fancy wheels push it higher, but early birds might snag deals. Compared to the old Demon cars that resell for double, this truck could hold value like gold.
