The 2024 RAM 2500: Unleashing Strength and Capability

With car-like handling and swift acceleration, stump-pulling torque, and a commanding presence on the road thanks to its muscular, towering stance, the mighty Ram 2500 effortlessly fulfills every expectation of a heavy-duty rig. It can also dabble as a luxury vehicle or an indestructible off-roader if your heart desires. From pulling boats and trailers to tackling construction sites, hauling tons of material, or towing heavy machinery across rough terrain, this article will discuss all the reasons why you won’t want to wait to make the 2024 RAM 2500 your trusted steed.

What You Need to Know About the 2024 RAM 2500

Packs Plenty of Power

The Ram 2500 ensures that power will be the least of your worries when tackling challenges in the field, thanks to its 6.4-liter Hemi V8 that churns out 410 HP and 429 lb-ft of torque. This is enough muscle to haul a payload of 4,000 pounds and boast a towing capacity of up to 17,730 pounds.

And in case you want to engage in real heavy-duty towing, the available 6.7-liter Cummins six-cylinder turbo diesel steps up to the plate with 370 horsepower and a staggering 850 lb-ft of torque to allow it to tow up to 19,990 pounds! When it comes to transmission, the Hemi is paired with an efficient eight-speed automatic while the Cummins is mated to a robust six-speed automatic to ensure smooth power delivery and optimal performance in any situation.

Graceful Handling

You’d expect this hulking rig to be cumbersome to handle, yet the 2024 Ram 2500 defies all expectations by being surprisingly agile. The Hemi V8 that comes standard on this truck launches it from 0 to 60 in an impressive 8 seconds, ensuring you are not sacrificing agility for strength.

Quickness aside, the 2500 handles like a dream with its power steering and rear coil-spring suspension. The light and accurate steering allows you to maneuver with surprising ease in tight spaces, while the coil spring suspension (a step-away from the leaf springs typically used in this class) efficiently absorbs bumps to ensure a smooth, easy, and confident ride.

Practical to a Fault

The 2024 Ram 2500 anticipates all your needs and comes equipped to meet them. The base model, the regular-cab Tradesman 2500, comes with an 8-foot cargo box with 74.7 cubic feet of cargo space to ensure you can haul whatever you need with ease. You can enhance your truck’s versatility by choosing either a crew cab or mega cab, both with 6’4′′ cargo boxes. There’s an available cargo management system called RAMBOX that comes with two lockable, drainable storage bins with LED lighting and a 115-volt power outlet.

Additionally, the 2500 comes with a host of available practical essentials to make several of your day-to-day tasks a breeze, such as the telescopic trailer tow mirrors that extend and retract to allow you to keep a comfortable eye on your trailer, Auto-Level Rear Air Suspension with kneeling function to make loading and hook-up easy, and Trailer Reverse Steering Control that allows you to use the Trailer Steering Knob to guide the trailer as you back up, while the system handles the steering wheel for you.

Serious Off-Roading Capabilities

The Ram 2500 also caters to those who tend to spend a good chunk of time off-roading, battling rough terrains and elements with the available Rebel and Power Wagon models. As you can imagine, they both come with 4WD as well as sharing some necessities, such as Bilsten Gas-Charged Monoshock tubes, to ensure smooth rides over uneven terrain, electronically locking differentials to maximize grip and limit slippage, and skid plates to protect the 2500’s underside and critical components from damage.

However, the Power Wagon does produce significantly more torque with its 4.10 axle ratio compared to the Rebel’s 3.73. All this means that whether you are tackling steep inclines, navigating rocky trails, or going through muddy terrain, you can rest easy knowing that your 2024 Ram 2500 Power Wagon or Rebel is designed to withstand the rigors of off-roading with ease.

Functional Interior

The Ram 2500 dresses according to the occasion. The Tradesman workhorse comes with highly durable vinyl floors and upholstery, hand-crank windows, and manually adjustable split-bench seats to allow for a seating of three.

And for those who prefer a touch of luxury in their truck, the 2024 Ram 2500 offers the Limited trims, which redefine the concept of opulence within a pickup. These models are essentially luxury SUVs with the capabilities of a heavy-duty pickup truck, coming with deluxe features such as ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, bucket seats, leather-wrapped heated steering wheel, leather upholstery with genuine wood trim, and reclining rear seats. With such creature comforts, it’s easy to forget you’re driving a heavy-duty rig.

Convenient Infotainment System

The Ram 2500 understands that all work and no play will make you a dull boy or girl. That’s why even the base Tradesman comes with Uconnect3 featuring a sharp and responsive 5-inch touchscreen, hands-free profile streaming audio, hands-free calling, voice command, voice text reply, and available SiriusXM. All this is to ensure you stay connected, entertained, and productive on the road.

The higher trims convert the cabin into a theater of sorts with the available Uconnect5 with navigation, 8.4- and 12-inch touchscreens, 7- and 12-inch digital instruments clusters, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity, wireless charging, Wi-Fi hot spot, and music from the premium 17-speaker Harman Kardon stereo system. Again, if someone were to blindfold you and put you inside a top-end 2024 Ram 2500, you would have a difficult time believing that you’re not in a luxury SUV.
