The Ram 2500 as we know it today was originally part of the completely revamped take on the Ram during the second generation in 1994. The overhaul of the Ram did away with the boxy frame from the first generation, opting for a design that was finely acclimated to the sensibilities of what drivers were looking for out of a stylish pickup in the mid-1990s. The Ram 2500 was the heavy-duty variant of that overhaul, which consisted of the all-new chrome-lined cross-grille across a brawny front fascia. This marked the start of an iconic look for the Ram for many years and multiple generations.
The exterior design of the Ram was just one part of what made the truck so popular during its rebirth. What was under the hood was equally cherished. The Ram 2500 had access to some powertrain options not available for the Ram 1500. This included the very capable Magnum V10 and a Cummins turbo-diesel option. These extra-large engines allowed the Ram 2500 to achieve its impressive tow and trailering capabilities.
The third-generation Ram 2500 debuted as a 2003 model year, featuring a more refined array of powertrains, from a 5.7-liter Hemi V8 all the way up to an 8.0-liter Magnum V10. A variety of iterated 5.9-liter Cummins turbo-diesel powertrains were also made available, along with improvements to the exterior design, more interior comfort options, and upgrades to the axles and chassis for better utilitarian function. The third generation was also when the Uconnect infotainment system began making its way into the company's line-up of vehicles.
The fourth generation is where the Ram 2500 saw some of its biggest innovations and variations, including the addition of all-new safety technologies, heavily improved powertrains with all-new horsepower and torque ratings, as well as a lot of infotainment upgrades. Throughout the fourth generation, the Ram 2500 also received a lot of new amenities in the form of 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot support, Apple CarPlay and Android integration, as well as many driver assists. Each new model year also sought to improve the trailering and payload capacities, incrementally upgrading the Ram 2500's capabilities to keep its competitors on their toes in the three-quarter-ton segment.
The 2022 Ram 2500 comes in six different trim formats for the model year, including the base Tradesman, the Big Horn/Lone Star, the Power Wagon, Laramie, Limited Longhorn, and the Limited. With 15 different exterior colors, which include limited dual-coat liveries for the Laramie, Power Wagon, and Limited Longhorn, there is a wealth of ways to outfit the 2022 Ram 2500 to your liking. There are also several different cab configurations available, including the Regular Cab, Crew Cab, and the Mega Cab.
The 2022 Ram 2500 also received several new upgrades for the model year, including the availability of the Uconnect 5, which features a 12-inch HD color touchscreen and the fastest software interface yet. The inclusion of Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and Wi-Fi capability help flesh out the infotainment aspects, while tow-specific navigation and additional trailering technology make the Ram 2500 more than capable of fulfilling the needs of any heavy-duty trucking enthusiast. There are also several other new features added for the model year, including a brand new and unique grille design for the Big Horn and Lone Star models and all new equipment packages for the 2022 Ram Power Wagon that includes special badging and features.
The heart and soul of the Ram 2500 continue to be the powertrain line-up, which consists of the 6.4-liter Hemi V8 that outputs 410 horsepower and 429 pound-feet of torque. The alternate 6.7-liter Cummins turbo-diesel is also available, producing 370 horsepower and up to 850 pound-feet of torque. The engines can be paired with either a 6-speed or 8-speed automatic transmission. The powertrains, in combination with the Ram's high-quality suspension and chassis design, are what enable the heavy-duty truck to achieve a max tow rating of 20,000 pounds and a max payload capacity of 4,010 pounds. No matter which trim or powertrain variation you go with, you're assured the utmost quality when it comes to the Ram 2500's capabilities and its unrivaled combination of style and performance.
