The 2024 RAM 2500 continues to set the bar high for heavy-duty trucks, balancing raw power with modern refinement. Built for drivers who need serious towing capacity without sacrificing comfort, the RAM 2500 delivers with engine upgrades and innovative driving technology.
Performance and Engine Options
The RAM 2500 offers two robust engine choices:
- 6.4L HEMI® V8: Standard on most trims, this engine generates 410 horsepower and 429 lb-ft of torque, providing impressive acceleration even when loaded with cargo.
- 6.7L Cummins® Turbo Diesel I6: For those seeking extreme towing power, the diesel engine offers 370 horsepower and an incredible 850 lb-ft of torque. Its low-end torque ensures smooth towing of heavy loads, making it a favorite among RV owners and construction workers.
Towing and Payload Capabilities
- Max Towing Capacity: Up to 20,000 lbs with the diesel configuration.
- Payload Capacity: The HEMI-equipped models can handle up to 4,010 lbs of payload.
RAM’s Fifth-Wheel/Gooseneck Prep Package makes connecting trailers easier, and an available auto-level rear air suspension ensures a smooth ride even with uneven loads.
Driving Technology
The Trailer Reverse Steering Control System simplifies backing up trailers, while Active Forward Collision Warning with Automatic Emergency Braking adds an extra layer of safety for heavy-duty tasks. Optional adaptive cruise control helps drivers maintain a steady speed, even on the highway with trailers in tow.
