What the Critics Say
As you'd expect from a truck such as the Ram 2500, towing and hauling capability is massive. The available rear air suspension's exclusive kneeling function makes loading and trailer hookups easy. The Ram's maximum payload and towing capacities are impressive even among the admittedly strong competition.” — Edmunds
Ram also managed to turn its heavy-duty pickup into a pretty, almost elegant machine. The 2500 boasts a better interior than its competition, too, with high-quality materials, clever and useful design, and a level of modern technology that leads the segment. Excellent ride quality and supreme interior comfort make the big Ram a great road trip companion, too, whether you have a 15,000-pound boat in tow or not.” — MotorTrend
