Ram 2500: Two High-Powered Engine Options

Every great truck is powered by a robust engine and with the Ram 2500 model you’ll have two robust powertrains to choose from. Standard with this truck is a 6.4L HEMI® V8 engine with 410 horsepower and 429 lb-ft of torque.

If you really need some extra muscle though, you’ll want to upgrade to the available 6.7L Cummins Turbo Diesel I-6 engine. Using this powertrain, you’ll be able to generate up to 370 horsepower and 850 lb-ft of torque.

All in all, the Ram 2500 is capable of towing up to 19,780 pounds when properly equipped. That’s plenty of muscle to tow a large horse trailer or a boat with absolute ease.

Advanced Towing Equipment

In order to provide the most effective towing experience possible, the Ram 2500 offers optional features that help to enhance your ability to tow. These features include an available Trailer Brake Control system that helps to enhance the handling of your trailer while you brake. Any swaying or lurching from the trailer will be limited, so you can drive your truck in comfort.

In addition to this, drivers have the option to equip their truck with available Trailer-Tow Mirrors. These mirrors help you get a good view of the side of your trailer, so you can pay attention to where vehicles are in relation to your trailer.

Finally, in order to enhance your handling while moving downhill, this vehicle provides an available Hill Descent Control system. You won’t feel like your vehicle is gaining speed from its weight when moving down an incline, so you can remain in better control at all times.

Robust Transmission Design

In order to make a vehicle achieve much higher towing, engineers built this truck with a robust 8-Speed automatic transmission. By using a tough transmission system, this vehicle is able to handle much higher loads without buckling to the demands of the driver.

The key to the system is in the number of gears. With eight available gears to work with, the truck has more shifts to transfer power through. You’ll even enjoy much smoother acceleration giving ways to more responsive driving dynamics.
