As on its little brother the Ram 1500, the 2500 offers a class-exclusive five-link coil-sprung rear suspension on the 2500 lineup, as opposed to the competition’s more typical leaf springs, and the resulting smooth ride can also be supplemented with an optional air suspension setup (which makes hitching up that trailer all the easier). New for 2023, Ram adds a Heavy Duty Rebel package to the 2500 lineup that comes equipped with a standard gasoline Hemi V8 producing 410 horsepower and 429 pound-feet of torque.Īn available Cummins turbodiesel inline-six with 370 hp and 850 lb-ft significantly boosts the HD Rebel’s appeal as a toy hauler capable of moderate off-roading, though the diesel engine’s weight results in a stiffer suspension setup when the going gets tough. Ram’s 2500 lineup ditches the independent front suspension of most mid-sized and 1500-grade trucks, offering a wide range of potential packages for everything from job site tool chests to toy haulers and fifth-wheel gooseneck trailering. For truck buyers who prioritize towing capacity and off-road articulation, beefy frames and solid front axles make Heavy Duty pickups a must.
