Tremendous Capability

Whether you are towing horses from one farm to another or going off-roading, this heavy-duty truck is prepared for anything you may encounter.

There are two engines available for the 2023 Ram 2500: the standard 6.4L Hemi V8 engine and the available 6.7L Cummins Turbo Diesel engine.

If you regularly tow very heavy loads, the 6.7L Cummins Turbo Diesel engine would be the pick for you. It has remarkable responsiveness and great torque ratings for outstanding towing capability but doesn’t lose efficiency. It has a sophisticated, electronically controlled six-speed automatic transmission, with optimized gear ratios for the engine. It also has very responsive performance and low noise and vibration. The 6.7L Cummins Turbo Diesel engine has a 19,980 lb. maximum towing capacity, a minimum payload of 3,140 lb., a maximum horsepower of 370, and 850 lb.-ft of maximum torque.

The standard 6.4L Hemi V8 engine also delivers impressive capability. It features impressive fully electronic operation, on-the-fly shift mapping, and an eight-speed transmission. The 6.4L Hemi V8 engine has a maximum torque of 429 lb.-ft, a 17,730 lb. towing capacity, a 4,000 lb. payload, and a booming 410 maximum horsepower.

In addition to the choice between two powerful engines, you also get advanced towing technology in the 2023 Ram 2500.

You’ll be able to tow like a pro using the available Trailer Reverse Steering Control. This feature lets you use the Trailer Steering knob to easily control your trailer’s direction as you back up, while the system controls the Ram’s steering wheel. The Ram 2500 also has an available class-exclusive auto-level rear air suspension, which includes a bed-lowering mode. This brings the rear suspension to its lowest position for easy trailer hook-up.

While towing, you can easily check the trailer tire pressure through the tire pressure monitoring system on the 12-inch Driver Information Digital Cluster Display. There’s also a factory-installed rear-axle structural cross member, which features integrated mounting hardware for the available Fifth Wheel/Gooseneck Prep Package.

With the largest-in-class available fuel tank capacity of 50 gallons, you can go long distances without having to stop.

If you’re an off-roading enthusiast, the 2023 Ram 2500 has incredible off-roading features. The Power Wagon features a WARN ZEON-12 Winch, a lightweight and synthetic line that boasts a 12,000 lb. rating. It also has Bilstein Gas-Charged Monotube Shocks, front and rear locking differentials, and an electronic front sway bar.

The 2023 Ram 2500 Rebel also has some amazing off-roading features, with gas and diesel options, Bilstein Gas-Charged Monotube Shocks, skid plates, 33-inch off-road tires, a 16,780 lb. maximum gas towing capacity, and 3,140 lb. maximum gas payload. To learn more about the 2500 Rebel, click here.

As you can see, the 2023 Ram 2500 has the tremendous capability, from towing to off-roading features. But that’s not where the Ram’s amazing features end.

A Rugged but Luxurious Exterior

You can ride in style in the 2023 Ram 2500, while not sacrificing utility. The RamBox cargo management offers two lockable, drainable storage bins with LED lighting for all your tools and equipment.

The 2500 also has available 115-volt/400-watt bed outlets in the rear of the truck bed. These outlets are essential when you need to power tools or equipment and can be easily accessed with the flip of a switch. You will be able to use your truck bed at any time of the day or night, thanks to the LED lights integrated into the cargo lamp and bed.

If you love a sportier look, you’ll want to opt for the Ram 2500 Rebel, Power Wagon, Laramie Night, Laramie Sport, or Limited Night models – all of which have the Mopar Sport Performance hood.

If access is of utmost importance to you, the 2023 Ram 2500 prioritizes access. There are power running boards, which deploy automatically when a door opens, allowing you to step up and load your belongings into the truck with ease. There is also a kick-out bed step, which helps you get a firm foothold while loading, unloading, and accessing the truck bed. It comes out of the bumper with an easy kick. Finally, there is a dampened tailgate and power release, which allows for easy opening and closing and the ability to open the tailgate without leaving the cabin.

Quality, High-Tech Interior

The stylish, accessible features continue into the interior. Ram put quality and convenience first, equipping the interior with comfortable seating, cargo capabilities, and available luxury amenities.

The interior features a digital rearview mirror with tow mode. This mirror has an LCD monitor that, when you turn it on, provides a real-time video stream from a rear-facing camera. When you pair it with the newly available Tow Mode, the mirror also provides a view of the area behind the trailer or upfit from a mounted camera.

You will never have to worry about breathing in bad air in the Ram 2500. The new standard Air Filtration system comes standard and filters 95% of air particulates, such as dust, smoke, droplets, and aerosols, resulting in the cleanest cabin air ever in a Ram.

While you go off-roading, you can easily stay informed about what’s going on without looking up from the road or exiting the cabin by looking at the full-color 3-D graphics on your infotainment center’s off-road pages.

The available advanced Uconnect 5C system features a massive touchscreen and offers complete personalization with up to five user profiles, a customizable home screen, and simultaneous dual-phone connectivity. It also includes updated user interfaces, two-specific navigation, and various infotainment and connected services updates.

Imagine this: you step into your truck after hooking up your boat to your Ram and are excited about what lies at the end of your drive – the lake. Wouldn’t you want music to accompany your journey? You can have a world-class experience listening to the music you love in your Ram with the available 17 Harman-Kardon 900-watt speakers.

You and your passengers will have all the storage that you need inside your Ram. Your passengers can easily put smaller items in the center console rear cubby bin. Just below the bin, there is also a 115-volt outlet.

The Ram 2500 also has an available fold-flat load floor with under-seat storage, made to maximize cargo-carrying options by allowing you to lift the bottom part of the rear seats and fold out a flat load floor for rear storage. The Crew Cab models offer spacious, secure in-floor covered storage bins, which can accommodate a four-inch drop hitch and come equipped with removable liners. They also have a 15-inch molder-in ruler and two tie-downs.

There is also an available reconfigurable center console and charging station, which allows you to charge up to five phones and has enough room for a 15-inch laptop, a bin for hanging file folders, and Type-C USB ports.

Features to Keep You and Your Passengers Safe

Safety is at the forefront of the Ram 2500’s design. To help you see in bad driving conditions, the 2023 Ram 2500 features an available forward lighting system with crisp LED lighting, helping to provide you with visibility. The headlights also turn 15 degrees, helping you to navigate dark roads and tough terrain.

To help prevent emergencies, the Ram has a rear seat reminder, which alerts you to check the back seat before you leave your truck. It also has driver and front passenger airbags with adaptive venting technology. There are six airbags and a high-strength steel frame to protect you in the case of a crash.

There is also a plethora of moving and stopping safety and security features. These include:

• Forward collision warning with active braking: This warns the driver when an accident is imminent and can apply the brakes and bring the vehicle to a complete stop, if needed, even with a trailer attached.
• LaneSense lane departure warning: If this feature detects lane drift, it provides a visual alert to the driver and corrects the Ram’s position in the lane.
• Adaptive cruise control with stop: This system maintains a selected distance from your Ram to the car in front of you. If it detects slower traffic, it will automatically slow the Ram down, even with a trailer attached.
• ParkSense front and rear park assist: This feature integrates available sensors within the front bumper and rear lower valance and displays a graphic in the instrument cluster to notify the driver of nearby objects.
