Overview of the Ram 2500
Here's what you need to know about the new Ram 2500:
Powertrain Options
The Ram 2500 offers a choice between a gasoline V8 engine or a turbocharged diesel inline-six, with the exception of the Power Wagon trim, which only features the V8. The 6.4-liter V8 delivers 429 lb-ft torque and 410 horsepower, paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission. The 6.7-liter diesel inline-six produces 370 horsepower and 850 lb-ft torque, offering two transmission choices: an eight-speed automatic or a six-speed auto. It is available with either rear-wheel or four-wheel drive configurations.
Cabin and Interior Features
Despite its heavy-duty stature, the Ram 2500 boasts a comfortable and well-equipped interior, suitable for long trips. Depending on the trim, seating accommodates five or six passengers. The interior features plush seats, strategically placed controls, large door openings, and optional power-deployable steps for easy entry and exit. Rear seats fold down for additional cargo space.
Advanced Technology
The new Ram 2500 introduces modern tech features, including the Uconnect® 5 infotainment system, which is a significant upgrade. Screen sizes range from five to twelve inches based on the trim level. Additional features include premium speakers, Wi-Fi, tow-specific navigation, a 360-degree camera system, and a 220-amp alternator.
Capacity and Towing
The truck handles a maximum payload of up to 4,010 pounds and can tow approximately 15,000 pounds, with the Power Wagon trim slightly lower at 10,520 pounds.
Available Trims
The Ram 2500 line-up includes Tradesman, Big Horn, Lone Star, Power Wagon, Laramie, Longhorn, and Limited. The Power Wagon trim introduces new premium features. The Tradesman is geared toward workhorse utility, while the Big Horn and Lone Star are available in regular cabs. The Laramie comes as a crew or mega cab, and the Longhorn offers upscale features like 18-inch polished wheels and leather accents. For luxury, the Limited edition is available.
Safety Features
The truck comes equipped with driver-assist technology options such as blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, and automatic high beams. It has earned a four-star safety rating from the NHTSA.
As a heavy-duty vehicle, fuel economy is not its primary focus. Designed for a smooth ride and a comfortable cabin, the Ram 2500 offers features comparable to its competitors. Prices vary from $42,775 to $70,710 depending on the selected trim.
