Why Buy a Ram 2500?

The 2024 Ram 2500 is eligible for two engine options: one gas and one diesel. Standard equipment across the entire lineup is the 6.4L HEMI V8, offering a hefty 410 horsepower and 429 lb-ft of torque. The gas-powered V8 engine offers class-leading standard gas horsepower, with the closest competitor, the Chevy Silverado 2500 HD, coming in at 401 horsepower. Ram 2500 models equipped with the HEMI engine supply drivers with a 17,730-pound towing capacity, along with up to 4,000 pounds of payload capacity. Meanwhile, drivers can opt for the 6.7L Cummins TurboDiesel inline-six engine, delivering 370 horsepower and 850 lb-ft of torque. With the turbodiesel engine and its immense torque output, the Ram 2500 can pull up to 19,990 pounds behind it or 3,150 pounds in the bed.

In addition to the Ram 2500’s impressive towing capacities, it is also available with some of the most advanced towing technologies available to make towing a breeze. While blindspot monitoring is becoming more prominent throughout the automotive industry, the Ram 2500’s available blindspot monitoring system comes with trailer coverage, monitoring the areas surrounding a trailer up to 39.5 feet behind the truck! This is in addition to the visibility provided by the telescopic trailer tow mirrors. Meanwhile, the available 360-degree surround-view camera system with trailer coverage offers an overhead view of the truck, trailer, and surrounding area, using feeds from multiple cameras to safely maneuver narrow spaces with ease. To make it easy to link up a trailer, the Ram 2500’s backup camera comes equipped with trailer hitch zoom, while linking up in the dark is made easier by an LED light that illuminates the trailer hitch. Meanwhile, the available rear air suspension allows you to lower the rear axle to align with a trailer and then raise it back up once the trailer is secure. Additionally, the Ram 2500 is eligible for a digital rearview mirror with tow mode, offering an unobstructed view of the road behind you, your trailer, and both sides of the trailer using three rear-facing cameras with the feed sent to the rearview mirror, which can also revert back to a traditional rearview. Finally, trailer reverse steering control allows you to control the direction of the trailer while focusing on the gas and brakes, while the truck takes control of steering itself.

While the Ram 2500’s towing abilities are a fan-favorite, the lineup features two models focused solely on superior all-terrain prowess. The Ram 2500 Rebel and Power Wagon trim levels offer an array of features that allow drivers to put a heavy-duty spin on rugged terrain. While the trucks look similar, they feature distinct variations. While both feature standard 4×4 with knobby 33-inch Goodyear Wrangler DuraTrac all-terrain tires, the Rebel stands out with an electronic limited-slip rear differential with an E-Locker, while the Power Wagon uses both a front and rear locking differential. The Power Wagon also adds electronic sway bar disconnect, improving wheel articulation by unlinking the front stabilizer bar so the front wheels can rise and drop further. Meanwhile, both trims feature black powder-coated front and rear bumpers, front tow hooks, high-strength steel skid plates, and Bilstein gas-charged monotube shocks. To help itself as well as other vehicles out of a sticky situation, both models are eligible for a WARN Zeon winch with a 12,000-pound capacity and 90-foot cable.
