2024 Ram 2500: Powerhouse Unleashed

Sometimes, a half-ton truck just isn’t enough. That’s when you need a true powerhouse in the form of the 2024 Ram 2500 HD pickup truck.

This three-quarter-ton truck brings heavy-duty towing and hauling ability to the job site, giving you more than enough power and performance to get things done. Whether you need to tow a boat, a travel trailer, or the work trailer, you’ll have all the power you need in this impressive Ram HD truck.

How much power does this Ram truck provide?

The standard engine for the Ram 2500 is a 6.4-liter Hemi V8 that delivers 410 horsepower and 429 lb-ft of torque to the mix. If you want more power, the 6.7-liter Cummins turbodiesel 6-cylinder engine delivers 370 horsepower and 850 lb-ft of torque in this heavy-duty truck.

Although the one-ton Ram 3500 can deliver more power, the three-quarter-ton model is where you’ll find the Rebel and Power Wagon models, which provide significant off-road and performance qualities. Choose from the three cab configurations of Regular, Crew, and Mega cab body styles along with two bed lengths; 8-foot and 6-foot 4-inches, to enjoy the right Ram truck for every job.
