Which 2500 Trim Is Right for You?
Tradesman and Big Horn are the workhorse trims, ready for job sites and farm work. The Black Express and Warlock add distinctive styling at a reasonable price.
Laramie, Limited and Longhorn bring luxury to heavy-duty towing, ideal for pulling a large camper or horse trailer in comfort. The Rebel and Power Wagon are the off-road heavy-duty options.
The biggest decision is gas versus diesel. If you tow heavy loads often, the Cummins is worth the investment. Our team can walk you through the numbers.
Choosing an engine is the biggest decision. The gas 6.4L HEMI is the lower-cost option and is plenty for many owners, while the Cummins diesel is the choice for frequent heavy towing, with up to 20,000 pounds when properly equipped. With 20 Ram 2500s in the Oct 31 crawl, we can usually show you both side by side.
