Most times, the tow rating is why someone considers a heavy duty pickup, but it's the flexibility and the many exclusive features that have them choose the Ram 2500. It does the heavy work while supplying everything a driver could ask for, and that combination makes it the perfect choice for every day of the week.



Built for Work, Designed for Play



Can I get a Ram 2500 with a winch already on it?

Yes, both the Ram 2500 Power Wagon and the Ram 2500 Rebel can be equipped with an integrated front winch straight from the factory. No aftermarket bracket, no bolt-on kit required. It's class-exclusive, too, so self-recovery gear is built into the truck and ready the moment a trail gets messier than expected.

Power with Purpose

The Ram 2500's two engine options kick off with the standard 6.4-liter HEMI® V8 that produces a robust 405 horsepower (HP). It also offers an available High-Output 6.7L Cummins® Turbo Diesel I6 engine that delivers a best-in-class available base of 1,075 lb-ft of torque.2

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 pair with a TorqueFlite® 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 50 gallons (Crew Cab with 8-foot bed) will come in handy, especially if you use your pickup for long hauls.2 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 caliber of the Ram 2500 is its ability to haul heavy loads and tow significant amounts of weight. This Ram proves its mettle with a class-leading towing capacity, 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.3

Engine Payload Towing Capacity
6.4L HEMI® V8 4,580 lbs. 17,750 lbs.
High-Output 6.7L Cummins® Turbo Diesel I6 3,600 lbs. 20,000 lbs.

The Ram 2500's available towing features include Trailer Reverse Steering Control, Fifth-Wheel/Gooseneck Prep Package, Trailer Tow Pages, and a Digital Rearview Mirror with Tow Mode—they all work together in the Ram 2500, which makes light work out of heavy duty.

What trims does the Ram 2500 come in?

The Ram 2500 comes in nine trims. Work-ready choices start with the Tradesman, Black Express, and Big Horn. The Laramie, Limited, and Limited Longhorn add upscale comfort, while the Warlock, Rebel, and Power Wagon are built for off-roading, with the hardware to prove it.

Built to Perform—and Endure

The Ram 2500's rugged exterior has always been bold and muscular. This truck features trim-specific front grilles and fascia, a wide stance bookended by LED headlamps and taillamps, available power side running boards, an available bed step, and more. Additional enhancements include updated wheel designs and a range of exterior paint colors, including ultra-vibrant Hydro Blue and Flame Red.

With any configuration, you can choose from three cabs and two bed sizes to configure the Ram 2500 to suit your needs best.

Cab Bed Size(s)
Regular Cab 8-ft. box
Crew Cab 6-ft-4-in. or 8-ft. box
Mega Cab 6-ft-4-in. box

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.

Standard and available storage abounds here, too, including secure rear-in-floor storage bins and a fold-flat load floor with under-seat storage. Since your truck also serves as your mobile office and command central, you'll benefit from the center console that can store a 15-inch laptop and hanging file folders.

What can I do with Ram Connect?

Ram Connect handles the things you'd otherwise have to be in the truck to do: lock or unlock the doors, start the engine to pre-heat or -cool the cabin, or find where you parked, all from your phone or smartwatch. It also delivers truck health reports, sends destinations to your navigation, and puts an emergency agent one button away.

Infotainment on the Go

When you're on the road, you need a way to remain connected, informed, and entertained. The Ram 2500 makes it easy by providing everything you need to stay connected to the office, your crew, or the folks at home while helping you navigate to the next job site or that remote campsite. Its Uconnect® 5 system serves as your digital hub with its largest-in-class available 14.5-inch screen.*

With its standard Apple CarPlay®/Android Auto™ integration, you'll enjoy hands-free calling, audio streaming, and Voice Command that enables you to adjust settings without taking your hands off the wheel or your eyes off the road. Meanwhile, the available segment-first 10.25-inch front passenger interactive display and class-exclusive dual wireless charging pads will keep your devices and those of your partner fully powered, no matter where you roam.

Safety First, Always

Whether flying solo on the job or with all seats filled during a family road trip, safety is a top priority. The Ram 2500 is well-equipped and ready to serve as your virtual copilot with over 100 standard and available safety and security features, including these:

  • Forward Collision Warning with Active Braking
  • LaneSense® Lane Departure Warning with enhanced Lane Keep Assist
  • Adaptive Cruise Control
  • Rear Seat Reminder Alert
  • Traffic Sign Recognition
  • 360-degree Surround View Camera

They'll help you maneuver through congested streets, busy construction zones, rough terrain, and anything else you may encounter. Available Drowsy Driver Detection maintains a vigilant watch to ensure your alertness behind the wheel. If it senses drowsy or distracted driving, it will send audible and visual warnings so you can decide if it's time to pull over to take a break.
