Ram Heavy Duty Truck

Ram provides the truck configurations that businesses need most.  Whether it’s the largest bed or the largest cabin, there’s plenty of room for everything and everyone. 

While Bright White or Pearl White may be enough for some, the brand is offering exciting colors for its 2024 heavy duty trucks. This includes metallics in Billet Silver and Granite Crystal. There are pearls in Delmonico Red, Diamond Black Crystal, and Patriot Blue. Other exciting Ram exterior colors include Flame Red, Hydro Blue, and Olive Green.

Since this is a Ram 2500 review, it’s important to mention the off-roaders. The Ram 2500 Rebel and Ram Power Wagon offer distinctive exteriors and the best off-roading equipment.  Rebels boast 11.1 inches of ground clearance. However, Power Wagons win the day with 14.2 inches of clearance.

The 2024 Ram 3500 and Ram 2500 come equipped with more standards at the entry level. Higher trim levels have new tech tools and more opulent materials. High-quality upholstery and stylish finishes provide a sophisticated and inviting atmosphere.

Furthermore, mega cabs offer ample legroom and headroom. Passengers can stretch out and relax, ensuring a comfortable ride even on long journeys. Brand engineers optimized every inch of space, allowing passengers to enjoy a sense of freedom and luxury.

One of the standout features is the infotainment system, which boasts an available 12-inch touch screen. It provides entertainment options and navigation tools. Drivers can use it to control important cabin functions.

Heavy Duty Ram trucks pack the strength and equipment to handle challenging tasks. This exceptional capability is evident in the range of engines available. Its HEMI V8 delivers an impressive 410 horsepower and 429 lb-ft of torque.

With this high-powered gas engine, towing and hauling is easy.  The air suspension and advanced tow package help with everything from safety to fuel economy.

Demonstrating greater strength, the Cummins turbo diesel engine offers 370 horsepower and a remarkable 850 lb-ft of torque.  Equipped with this engine, the affordable 2024 Ram 2500 Tradesman tows trailers weighing up to 20,000 pounds.

Ram was the first truck manufacturer to reach the milestone of 1,000 lb.-ft. of torque with the High Output Cummins I-6 Turbo Diesel. Even better, the 2024 Turbo Diesel churns out an impressive 1,075 lb-ft of torque. 

Maximum tow ratings demonstrate just how ready these trucks are to work hard. Depending on its engine, the truck offers 17,549 or 20,000 pounds of towing capacity Ram 2500. The Ram 3500 towing capacity is 37,090 pounds with the diesel truck. A trailer brake controller ensures safer stops. 

Payload capability is equally good. With the gas HEMI V8, the 2024 Ram 2500 can carry a maximum payload of 4,010 pounds. The beefiest Ram heavy duty truck can handle an incredible 7,680 pounds.

Exciting technologies assist with towing, parking, and driving duties. Blind spot coverage expands to include the trailer. Ram navigation creates routes based on the size and height of what you are towing. Trailer reverse guidance takes the worry out of difficult slow maneuvers.

A range of camera systems offer standard and adaptable views. One favorite is the cargo view camera. You can use it to see what’s happening in the bed. Another available camera can be placed where you need it, such as inside a livestock trailer.

Regardless of which model you choose, you should know that Ram trucks excel at utility in all its forms. For instance, the Mega Cab 2nd row becomes a large cargo hold when you fold the seats and create a flat floor. Even if you fold a single seat or two seats, you still have a flat place to store your gear.

In another example, a deployable step can help workers in and out of the bed. There’s also a multifunction tailgate and a whole range of Mopar accessories.

The RamBox Cargo Management System is one of the most useful on the market. Developed for the Ram 1500, the RamBox is offered for the 2500 and 3500 as well. This system includes:

This Ram truck is as safe as any Ram has ever been. It offers a forward collision warning with active braking. This system works to keep the driver out of harm’s way.  Available adaptive cruise control can take over some of the driving duties, even slowing and going with traffic.

Available lane assistance warns the driver if the truck is straying too close to the lane lines. It can even help correct the truck’s trajectory.  A rear cross traffic alert can help reduce dangers when parking.

A surround view camera is the perfect option for a truck this big. It can show you the entire perimeter of the truck.  When traveling, the available digital rearview mirror helps eliminate the driver’s blind spot. It reduces the chances of hitting another vehicle when you are changing lanes.

The 2024 Ram 2500 and 3500 have competition from Chevy and Ford. However, no heavy duty truck can compete with Ram’s standard of excellence. Each truck is made to exacting standards with premium materials. The ride quality is better with plenty of noise reduction techniques and the unique rear suspension.

The heavy duty vehicle's superior ride and handling are achieved through its unique rear suspension system. Plus Ram’s optional rear air suspension can adjust itself to the load. 

In addition, you can lower it for loading and then raise it when you are done. This feature provides more ground clearance if the truck strays onto dirt roads or rough trails. 

Honors continue to go to the Ram brand. It has maintained top rankings in the Initial Quality Studies and the APEAL Studies by JD Power.  In 2023, for the fourth year in a row, US News and World Report proclaimed Ram as the Best Truck Brand.

Leading in customer retention, the Ram heavy duty trucks scored the Automotive Loyalty Award from IHS Markit in 2022. Car and Driver named the Ram Heavy Duty lineup to its Editors Choice list in 2023.

The 2024 RAM 2500 and 3500 Heavy Duty trucks are excellent choices for individuals and businesses. We encourage you to see for yourself. Schedule a test drive.
