2018 Ram 2500

How can they put this much torque in the hands of civilians? It may be irresponsible. It may be unwise. It may even be ill-advised. But there's no law against it. And you want it, so let's do it! Drive away with a 2018 Ram 2500, hit the gas, feel the engine muster all the power at its disposal, and then feel the unrelenting waves of torque. Watch as the solidly-built 2500 goes zero to 60 in just 8.7 seconds. This is no pickup truck. This is a Ram heavy-duty, built for big jobs and big fun. In this guide to the Ram powerhouse, we take you inside the guts of this heavy-hitter to show you what makes a Ram 2500 the truck of choice for hardworking men and women.

A Truck Made Big Enough to Wrap Around Its Engine

A 2018 Ram 2500 is eighty inches wide. And, believe us, it needs all that girth to wrap sheet metal around its massive engines: a base 383-horsepower 5.7-liter Hemi V8, its 410-horsepower upgraded 6.4-liter V8, or its 370-horsepower turbodiesel 6.7-liter inline-6. Any way you go, you're looking at torque between an impressive 400 to a monumental 800 feet-pounds. What can you do with all that wrenching power?

2018 Ram 2500 Towing

With all that torque at your disposal, it's time to roll up your sleeves and get to work, or knuckle down and play hard. The Ram 2500 can tow up to 18,000 pounds, good for the largest camping trailers, multi-horse trailers, and large boats. If you want to load up the truck bed, it won't call it quits until you've loaded up 4,000 pounds of dirt, rock, or metal. So whether you're headed to the lake, the mountain, the work site, or your own backyard, the 2018 Ram 2500 can take just about anything you can throw at it.

Hard as Nails, Soft as Satin

A lot of people assume that a heavy-duty work truck is as hard on the inside as the work it does on the outside. Not so. For one thing, the Ram 2500 has a surprisingly smooth ride. The cabin is quiet and comfortable, with soft seating and coil-spring suspension to make the drive a breeze. And though you'll definitely hear the powerful engine while accelerating, find a steady pace and the engine just purrs in the background.

2018 Ram 2500 Interior

The cabin is not some bare monolith, but an ergonomic interior with soft-touch metals and cozy seats, making this truck your second home. Sitting in here will help you relax between loads. If you want the ultimate in comfort, consider the top-tier Tungsten Limited trim level, netting you air suspension, heated steering wheel, heated and ventilated front seats, and Uconnect infotainment with 8.4-inch touchscreen, plus Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

With all that power for the work and all that comfort and composed ride for you, the 2018 Ram 2500 is the perfect solution to a hardworking driver who deserves the very best.
