Pick Your Power Plant
With two big-block motors on offer, there’s plenty of horsepower and torque in any Ram 2500 on the market. Gasoline-driven 2500s are driven by the 6.4-liter HEMI V8 engine, offering 410 horsepower and 429 lb-ft of torque to not only get the job done, but to do it in style. HEMI-driven capability maxes out with a towing capacity of 17,730 pounds and a maximum payload of 4,000 pounds when properly configured, making this one mighty motor.
But hold on to your horsepower because that isn’t the only engine on offer. Step up to diesel and reap the rewards; the 6.7-liter Cummins Turbo Diesel offers even more capability. With up to 370 horsepower and 850 lb-ft of torque, the Cummins motor has the muscle to move up to 3,150 pounds of payload or a staggering 19,990 pounds of trailer when properly equipped. Offering both gas and diesel options lets the 2500 integrate seamlessly into almost any commercial fleet.
Good and Quiet
Just because the Ram 2500 is fully capable of roaring down the road with tons in tow doesn’t mean you should have to hear it in the cabin. The Interior Active Noise Cancellation System helps you tune out the world outside so you can focus on the tunes you choose to cruise to. And with the available 17-speaker, 900-watt Harman Kardon Premium Audio System, you can turn those tunes up pretty loud indeed.
In fact, the interior is one of the high points of the Ram 2500 regardless of which trim you choose. The vinyl seats in the entry-level Tradesman are comfortable and adjustable, with plenty of legroom in both rows in the crew cab configuration. But upgrading to higher trims has its rewards, with full leather seating and genuine wood trim available at the upper end of the range, and SuperCab configurations offer even more legroom for back-row crew members.
With so much in the way of capability and a comfortable interior that can almost make you forget you’re on the job, there’s a lot to love about the Ram 2500. But perhaps the most important thing can only be had in person: the feeling of raw power when the motor kicks in and the 2500 revs to life. So schedule your test drive today at Freedom Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram in Durant, OK, and experience it for yourself.
