Beyond Brute Strength: Eight Ways the Ram 2500 Is the Ultimate Work Partner

What do you expect from your truck? Do you use it to haul mulch and rocks for landscaping projects around the house? Do you rely on it to handle your weekday commute and weekend adventures? Whatever the case, trucks are integral to the American landscape and serve as the embodiment of the American dream that if you can dream it, you can do it. 

As a premier Ram dealer, we know from experience that trucks like the Ram 2500 live up to and exceed expectations. Ram is renowned for building long-lasting trucks with potent heartbeats that offer exceptional capability. The Ram 2500 is no exception, with the 2024 model offering a best-in-class 410 hp with its 6.4L HEMI V8 heartbeat and a towing capacity of 17,730 lbs. The 6.7L Cummins is even more impressive, taking the Ram 2500 to a towing maximum of 19,990 lbs as the diesel produces 850 lb-ft of torque. Yet, there's more to the Ram 2500 than what's under the hood.

The Ram 2500 is versatile and functional, with Ram keenly aware of and responding to driver needs. The truck isn't just a powerhouse on four wheels that can tow a trailer without breaking a sweat. It's a work partner that makes every job, outing, and adventure more comfortable and manageable. Here's how Ram accomplishes this feat, from the Ram 2500's class-leading fuel tank to its trailering tech and beyond. 

#8. Go the Distance With Fewer Stops: A Class-Leading Fuel Tank

Ram's keen awareness of driver needs and efforts to improve your experience are apparent in even the smallest details. The 2024 Ram 2500 boasts a class-leading fuel tank of 50 gallons on the Tradesman Crew Cab with an eight-foot bed. The larger tank keeps the Ram 2500 on the road longer, allowing you to go further with fewer stops with or without a trailer in tow. 

#7. Unmatched Accessibility: Auto-Leveling Rear Air Suspension 

Opting for a 2024 Ram 2500 with four-wheel drive means greater accessibility when hauling a trailer. While four-wheel drive is outstanding for optimizing traction in any condition, Ram goes above and beyond to outfit its four-wheel-drive road warrior with a class-exclusive auto-leveling rear air suspension. The air suspension features a Bed Lowering Mode that lowers the rear suspension to make hooking up to a trailer easier and more accessible. 

#6. Trailer Navigation Made Easy: Trailer Reverse Steering Control 

The Ram 2500's high towing capacity ensures it can tow everything from a trailer to a camper, boat, and RV. However, this capacity doesn't automatically make you a pro at navigating a trailer in reverse. Fortunately, Ram thinks of everything with Trailer Reverse Steering Control. The feature lessens the learning curve of backing up a trailer with the simple turn of a knob. You can control the direction of the trailer via the knob while the truck steers itself.

#5. Next-Level Cargo Management: The Class-Exclusive RamBox 

Ram redefines functionality and versatility with its class-exclusive RamBox Cargo Management System. Trucks like the 2024 Ram 2500 are expected to make your job easier and double as your work partner. It needs to haul cargo in the bed, tow a trailer, and keep your essentials, like tools and other gear, organized and secure. The RamBox answers that need by outfitting the Ram 2500 with two lockable and drainable storage bins above the wheel wells. 

The unique position of the RamBox uses the otherwise wasted space above the wheels to improve how you use the truck. Since the boxes are drainable, the options for using them are plentiful, from filling them with ice to keep drinks cool during a tailgate party or weekend camping trip to relying on the integrated 115-volt power outlet to power small tools and other equipment. There's also integrated LED lighting that guarantees you can see your cargo in any condition. 

#4. Configurable and Upscale: A Cabin That Prioritizes Comfort 

The Ram 2500's functionality takes center stage in the truck's upscale cabin. Ram spares no expense and prioritizes your comfort by outfitting the truck with premium materials, plush seating, and hand-crafted details. Moreover, this opulence is standard in every configuration, guaranteeing you never have to compromise your comfort. 

You can opt for the Ram 2500 with a front bench seat that increases the truck's seating capacity or enjoy the spaciousness of two bucket seats with a center console that offers more room for items like your smartphone, charging cables, etc. The rear seat is also incredibly versatile with its 40/20/40 split-folding design. You can seat passengers three across, fold the single rear seat to haul cargo or fold two of the three seats to accommodate larger items. 

#3. Bring All the Necessities: Functional Design and Storage 

The RamBox Cargo Management System often gets most of the attention, but Ram does an excellent job of adding functional design and storage elements throughout the 2500's cabin. You can confidently bring all the necessities, keeping them organized and out of sight wherever the road takes you. For example, the Ram 2500's center console is spacious and reconfigurable, capable of charging up to five smartphones and storing a 15-inch laptop. 

Moving to the back of the truck, you'll find the Ram 2500 has a flat-folding load floor with under-seat storage. When you lift the rear seat cushions and fold out the load floor, it extends the truck's cargo capacity. You can also add integrated storage bins in the floor, a class-exclusive feature that offers covered storage and enough room to fit a four-inch hitch. Cleaning the bins is easy because they're lined and made from durable materials. 

#2. See Your Surroundings With a Virtual Spotter: Telescopic Trailering Mirrors

Situational awareness is critical when you're in the driver's seat, especially when towing a trailer. Heavy-duty trucks typically offer trailering mirrors, but this can hinder the truck's maneuverability in tight spaces and make your job harder behind the wheel. Ram offers a solution with the Ram 2500's telescopic trailer tow mirrors that provide greater flexibility by extending and retracting with the touch of a button. 

Extending the mirrors gives you a clear view of your surroundings while retracting them makes navigating tight parking spots or congested areas easier. The mirrors also work with additional visibility and trailering tools. For example, the forward and reverse spotter outfits the Ram 2500 with a virtual spotter. The Mirror-Mounted Camera System extends your visibility and complements in-cabin technology like the Digital Rearview Mirror, which integrates a side camera to display a real-time stream from the truck's rear-facing camera and along the left and right of the truck. 

#1. Technology at Your Fingertips: Expansive Digital Displays

The 2024 Ram 2500 lives up to the adage to "work smarter, not harder" by putting all the information you need and more at your fingertips. The truck boasts a modern cockpit framed by extensive digital displays, starting with a 12-inch Driver Information Digital Cluster Display that offers a gauge summary, vehicle diagnostics, vehicle dynamics, trailer tire pressure monitoring, and turn-by-turn navigation. You'll also find Trailer Tow Pages and, depending on the trim, Off-Road Pages that give you insight into the truck's pitch, roll, traction control, and gear. 

Moving to the center, you'll find a 12-inch Uconnect 5 NAV touchscreen that offers five customizable driver profiles. The Uconnect system is a hub of information and entertainment, offering tow-specific navigational tools and the truck's extensive 360-degree camera system. You'll also enjoy seamless smartphone integration with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The system's personalization makes it incredibly intuitive and complements the user-friendliness of other tools like the Ram App with Ram Connect Services. The Ram App offers remote navigational tools with a send-and-go feature, a vehicle finder, remote start, remote lock and unlock, and a WiFi hotspot to keep you connected and engaged wherever the road and the Ram 2500 take you.
