2021 Ram 2500
Unbridled power attached to indisputable durability, the Ram 2500 series has become an established cornerstone in the three-quarter-ton market of heavy-duty pickup trucks. The 2021 Ram 2500 is made available across six different trim variations, ranging from the typical workhorse trim all the way up to a luxury-oriented option for those who want a classy pickup paired with rugged capability.
Performance
The 2021 Ram 2500 establishes its performance and undeniable capability from two well-respected powertrains. This includes a 6.7-liter Cummins turbo-diesel and a 6.4-liter Hemi V8. Both of these engines are fine-tuned to give the Ram the heft it needs to carry out high-performance, heavy-duty tasks, such as high-tonnage trailering and high-payload capacity hauls. With a standard conventional rear differential and available anti-spin differential, you have options in how traction control is utilized for the Ram 2500 series. This makes it ideal for helping the truck maintain control over heavy loads and instilling stability over loads that could very easily get away from other pickups. The added implementation of Tru-Lok front and rear low-pressure differentials on the Ram 2500 Power Wagon also makes it ideal for those who need to take the three-quarter-ton pickup off-road and into territory where traction is limited.
Capability
One of the most popular uses for the Ram 2500 series is carrying out heavy-duty towing tasks or payload hauls. The Ram series of trucks have become renowned for their ability to tow heavy loads and trailer lots of large equipment. This is all thanks to the heavy-duty engines under the hood. With the Ram 2500 series equipped with the 6.7-liter turbo-diesel Cummins, you can expect to tow up to 20,000 pounds worth of material when properly equipped. The 6.7-liter Cummins also enables drivers to max out their payload capacity at 3,160 pounds. This is one of the many reasons why the Ram 2500 is an easy pick for those who need a reliable heavy-duty pickup for towing and trailering.
Technology
Some of the tech is oriented around the work capacities of the Ram 2500, such as available radio, driver seat, mirror, and pedal position memory to make it easy to adjust the ride to your specific comfort levels. An available active noise-control system can also render outside noise canceled within the cabin of the Ram 2500, which is probably a feature well sought after for anyone who regularly has to drive the truck through loud construction sites or noisy industrial zones.
Lots of towing tech is also available for the base trim or standard on the upper trims, such as a rear backup alarm and trailer light checks. The latter feature allows the driver to go through a checklist of standard trailer features to ensure that everything is working well with the hitch and trailer, including brake lights, turn signals, and emergency lights.
