Both the Ram 2500 and Ram 3500 come with two engine choices that give you plenty of pulling power. The first option is a 6.4-liter V8 HEMI that puts out 405 horsepower. This gasoline engine works well for drivers who want strong performance without diesel fuel. Residents of Rio Rancho looking for a truck that can tow boats, trailers, and heavy equipment will want to consider this option.
For those who want even more capability, the 6.7-liter I-6 Cummins Turbo Diesel engine cranks out 430 horsepower. This turbocharged diesel engine is known for its durability and high torque output. The diesel engine includes features like heavy-duty engine cooling, a diesel exhaust brake, and dual 730-amp maintenance-free batteries. Drivers near Los Lunas who regularly tow large loads will benefit from this powerful drivetrain option on either the Ram 2500 or Ram 3500.
While both trucks have the same engine options, the Ram 3500 is built for even heavier loads than the Ram 2500. The Ram 3500 has a stronger frame and upgraded suspension components that allow it to pull more weight. These features make the Ram 3500 a better choice for drivers who often tow fifth-wheel campers, gooseneck trailers, or heavy construction equipment.
The Ram 2500 still offers plenty of towing power for most jobs. It works well for pulling horse trailers, boat trailers, and utility trailers that many drivers use on a regular basis. Santa Fe drivers who tow on mountain roads will value the towing systems that both trucks offer.
Both engine options come mated to an 8-Speed Automatic transmission. This transmission helps deliver power to the wheels in a way that maximizes towing ability. The Ram 2500 and Ram 3500 are available in both rear-wheel drive (RWD) and part-time 4-wheel drive (4WD) setups, so you can choose what works best for your situation.
Standard towing equipment on both trucks includes Class V towing components with a hitch, brake controller, and trailer sway control. These features help keep your trailer in line when you are pulling heavy loads down the highway. An optional MOPAR 20K Direct Mount 5th Wheel Hitch is also available for maximum towing capability.
The Ram 2500 comes in 11 different trim levels, including the Tradesman, Big Horn, Laramie, Rebel, Limited, and Power Wagon. Each trim offers different features and looks to match what you want in a truck. Body style options include Crew Cab Short Box, Crew Cab Long Box, Regular Cab Long Box, and Mega Cab Short Box on select trims. Drivers in Bernalillo can pick the setup that works best for their towing and cargo situations.
Optional towing technology packages add even more capability to both the Ram 2500 and Ram 3500. The Towing Technology Group includes a surround-view camera system, trailer tire pressure monitoring, and trailer reverse guidance. These systems make backing up with a trailer much less stressful. The Tow Technology Plus Group adds trailer reverse steering control and a digital 3.0 rearview auto-dimming mirror for even better visibility.
Standard safety features include electronic stability control, roll stability control, and a ParkView back-up camera. Both trucks also come with adaptive cruise control and collision mitigation systems on the front. These technologies help you stay safe while pulling heavy loads on long trips.
The Ram 2500 and Ram 3500 give you the power and features that serious truck owners demand. With strong engine options, solid towing equipment, and multiple trim choices, these heavy-duty pickups are ready to work hard.
