Ram doesn’t stop with the options there either, you also have a choice of six different trim levels. The Tradesman starts things out by being a relentless work truck with vinyl upholstery so no amount of mud from the work site can damage your interior, a locking tailgate, air conditioning, Bluetooth, and a 5-inch touchscreen. Looking for something that sits firmly in the luxurious section of heavy-duty trucks? We suggest the Longhorn model with heated and ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, navigation, wood interior and steering wheel trim, leather upholstery, LED bed lights, and a spray-in bedliner. You can further outfit your Ram 2500 with an optional 12-inch touchscreen, a cargo-view camera, wireless smartphone charging, and a 17-speaker stereo system.
Can you tell me about the two engine options?
It really comes as no surprise that there are two different engine options available for the Ram 2500 considering it comes with so many cab styles, bed lengths, and half a dozen trim levels. The standard engine for the Ram 2500 is a 6.4-liter Hemi V8 engine with a remarkable best-in-class 410 horsepower. The immense amount of horsepower is combined with 429 lb-ft of torque for an impressive towing capacity of 17,470 pounds. The Ram 2500 is also capable of a max payload of 3,840 pounds when paired with the Hemi engine. If you’re looking for increased towing capability you can opt for the 6.7-liter I6 Cummings Turbo Diesel engine. You won’t have a problem towing even your biggest trailer with this engine, considering it has a maximum towing capacity of 19,580 pounds, thanks to the engine’s output of 850 lb-ft of torque.
How is towing in the Ram 2500?
Hooking up your trailer and hauling it from point A to B has never been easier due to the 2019 Ram 2500’s available class-exclusive Rear Auto-Level Air Suspension. The air suspension system automatically adjusts to changes in road camber and shirting loads to making driving with a massive trailer as smooth as can be. When you go to hook up your trailer you can also bring the rear of your Ram 2500 down to it’s lowest point with the Bed Lowering Mode so your truck and trailer hitch are parallel. Ram continues to make hooking up a trailer even easier with the available 360 degrees Surround View Camera with Trailer Reverse Guidance View. The high-tech features lets you view all angles of your truck and trailer so you can line the hitch up just right, every time.
