CAPABILITY

Ram 2500

With its gas or enhanced diesel powertrain, the Ram 2500 delivers raw power for your toughest jobs and is poised to exceed your expectations more than ever before. Thanks to its hearty payload and towing capacities, the Ram 2500 expands your opportunities for both work and play.

Power With Purpose

With the Ram 2500, there's a performance option for all types of drivers. The latest model year includes two engine options. This heavy-duty truck kicks off with the standard 6.4-liter HEMI® V8, or upgrade to the available High-Output 6.7L Cummins® Turbo Diesel I6 engine. No matter which option you choose, you get the raw Ram power you expect from the brand.

Will you choose the classic HEMI® engine or best-in-class base diesel torque with the high-output configuration?*

Engine
Horsepower
Torque
6.4L HEMI® V8 405 HP 429 lb-ft
High-Output 6.7L Cummins® Turbo Diesel I6 430 HP 1,075 lb-ft

Both engines are mated with a TorqueFlite® HD 8-speed automatic transmission, which plays a vital role in expanding your capabilities with the Ram 2500. You can also choose from two drivetrains: rear-wheel and available 4-wheel drive.

While you might not choose a truck primarily based on fuel efficiency, the Ram 2500's largest-in-class available fuel tank capacity of 189.3 litres (50 gallons) will come in handy, especially if you use your pickup for long hauls.* You'll appreciate the time savings, keeping you on the road longer with fewer stops at the pump.

Heavy-Duty Workhorse

One of the main reasons to drive a truck of the calibre of the Ram 2500 is its ability to haul heavy loads and tow significant amounts of weight. This Ram proves its mettle with its impressive capacities, so hitch up a trailer or boat for your next outdoor getaway or load up the durable, high-capacity bed with tools and materials for the job site or supplies and gear for the campsite.

Engine
Payload
Towing Capacity
6.4L HEMI® V8 2,005 kg (4,420 lbs.) 8,051 kg (17,750 lbs.)
High-Output 6.7L Cummins® Turbo Diesel I6 1,243 kg (2,740 lbs.) 9,071 kg (20,000 lbs.)

The Ram 2500's available towing features include Trailer Reverse Steering Control, Fifth-Wheel/Gooseneck Prep Package, Telescopic Trailer Tow Mirrors, and Trailer Steering knob--they all work together in the Ram 2500, which makes light work out of heavy duty.

DURABILITY

Ram 2500

The Ram 2500 is outfitted inside and out to handle your daily routine, wherever it may lead. Built to help you tackle your toughest jobs yet spacious and comfortable enough to take your family, this Ram is where form meets function in the most thrilling ways. It not only has the goods but also the good looks that will turn heads while turning every drive into a joyride.

Built to Perform--and Endure

The Ram 2500's rugged exterior has always been bold and muscular. The latest model year ups the ante with one of three grille designs a wide stance bookended by LED headlamps and taillamps, available power side running boards, an available bed step, and more.

Want to make a lasting impression? Upgrade your Ram to include the available Mopar® Sport Performance Hood and one of the highly pigmented colour options, like Molten Red, Hydro Blue, or Granite Crystal.

Trailering to a remote camping spot or traversing crushed gravel work sites are made more comfortable with the available Bilstein® shocks. These specialty shocks bring additional prowess to help you navigate off-road paths as easily as the asphalt.

Meanwhile, the available class-exclusive RamBox® Cargo Management System offers convenient, weatherproof storage for all your tools and gear. You'll have easy access to its lockable, drainable compartments, LED bed lighting, 115-volt power outlet for charging devices, and more, further expanding your Ram's utility.

Flexible and Functional Cabin

Just because you drive a rugged pickup doesn't mean you have to rough it. Inside the cabin of the Ram 2500, you'll enjoy high-quality materials and spacious seating. This space can flex as needed, adjusting to your changing passenger-to-cargo ratios. Choose a 40/20/40 split-folding bench seat or available bucket seats in front and versatile 60/40 split-folding rear seats, depending on the configuration you choose.

The Ram 2500 epitomizes functional luxury with available premium amenities like leather upholstery, genuine wood trim, and aluminum accents. Optional heated front seats enhance the ride, helping you quickly warm up after a day working outdoors or soothe tense muscles after a strenuous workout at the gym.

Standard and available storage abounds here, too, including:

  • Rear cubby bin
  • Flat-load floor
  • Under-seat storage
  • In-Floor Ram Bins

Since your truck also serves as your mobile office and command central, you'll benefit from the centre console that can store a 38-centimetre (15-inch) laptop and hanging file folders.
