The Ram 2500 Engine Options: HEMI Gas vs Cummins Turbo Diesel

When it comes to the new Ram 2500, it's all about power. This dynamic truck boasts excellent performance and pulls no punches. You can choose from two different engine options.

The Ram 2500 HEMI V8 Gas Engine

The standard 6.4L HEMI V8 produces 405 horsepower and 429 lb-ft of torque. It's mated with a smooth, eight-speed automatic transmission and delivers responsive gas power without the added cost of a diesel. When properly equipped, the Ram 2500 boasts a max towing capacity of 17,750 pounds and a max payload of 3,930 pounds.

The Ram 2500 High-Output 6.7L Cummins Turbo Diesel

The available High-Output 6.7L Cummins Turbo Diesel I6 is a renowned powertrain that delivers Best-in-Class performance:

  1. 430 horsepower
  2. Best-in-Class 1,075 lb-ft of torque
  3. 20,000 maximum towing capacity
  4. 3,600-lb max payload

It works with the TorqueFlite HD eight-speed automatic transmission for enhanced durability, minimal noise, low vibration, and intuitive software for seamless shifting.

Towing & Payload Deepdive: Best-in-Class Heavy Duty Numbers

​Capability is more than the engine. Ram offers an available Fifth-Wheel and Gooseneck Prep Package with factory-integrated mounting hardware. Available Trailer Reverse Steering Control lets you direct the trailer with a dedicated knob while the truck manages steering input.

The Ram 2500's Trailer Tire Pressure Monitoring can display readings for multiple trailers in the 12-inch Digital Cluster Display. It utilizes the 360-Degree Surround View Camera and 360-Degree Trailer Surround View Camera to help you understand the area around the truck and trailer. A wired Tow Mode Camera can provide a live view behind the trailer through the Digital Rearview Mirror.

​In addition, the Ram 2500 utilizes Auto-Level Rear Air Suspension to help level the truck under loads and includes Bed Lowering Mode to make trailer connection easier. These innovative features morph the Ram 2500's impressive capacity into a calmer towing experience.

Interior Comfort: Built Tough, Finished Right

Everyone has different needs, which is why the Ram 2500 is available in a plethora of trims and configurations.

The Ram 2500's Trims

The Tradesman is durable and ready for work, while Big Horn and Lone Star add welcome convenience. Laramie layers in richer materials and comfort. Limited Longhorn brings distinctive Western-inspired craftsmanship, and Limited creates a sophisticated cabin with premium seating and polished finishes. Crew Cab and Mega Cab configurations provide generous passenger room, while smart storage helps keep the cab from becoming a rolling toolbox.

Georgia weather can shift from sweltering summer heat to chilly mornings, so the available heated and ventilated front seats help you settle in comfortably before you even leave the driveway. Once you are on the road, the expansive 14.5-inch Uconnect 5 touchscreen keeps navigation, entertainment, trailer information, and vehicle settings easy to see and access without cluttering the cabin.

Your front passenger can get in on the action, too! With the available 10.25-inch Front Passenger Interactive Display, they can manage navigation, select entertainment, and help plan the next stop without interrupting what you are viewing on the central touchscreen. It creates a more connected and convenient experience for everyone up front.

Technology & Work-Focused Features of Ram 2500

Whether you are powering tools at a rural job site, setting up equipment at the campground, or tackling a project away from a traditional power source, the available 2.4-kilowatt onboard power system helps you stay productive. Its three 110-volt outlets give you convenient access to electricity without hauling a separate generator.

Towing and off-road driving can also put more information on your plate. Trailer Tow Pages and Off-Road Pages bring important details together, including trailer light status, brake information, pitch, roll, traction, and vehicle dynamics. Instead of digging through menus or relying on guesswork, you can quickly see how your truck and trailer are performing.

Long workdays and highway trips demand your full attention, but the right technology can provide valuable additional support. Adaptive Cruise Control can help maintain your selected following distance, while Forward Collision Warning with Active Braking watches for potential hazards ahead. Blind Spot Monitoring with trailer coverage and LaneSense Lane Departure Warning can also help you stay more aware of the areas around your truck and trailer.

The Power Wagon: Purpose-Built Off-Road Heavy Duty

​The Ram 2500 Power Wagon is not an appearance package. Instead, it's a rough-and-ready experience that helps rethink heavy-duty capability. The Power Wagon offers a plethora of features that raise the bar on heavy-duty performance:

  1. Two-inch factory lift and 33-inch all-terrain tires
  2. Bilstein gas-charged monotube shocks
  3. Front and rear electronic locking differentials
  4. Articulink front suspension
  5. Electronic front sway-bar disconnect
  6. An available factory-installed 12,000-pound winch

​Gas Power Wagon models can tow up to 10,530 pounds and carry up to 1,570 pounds, depending on configuration. For 2026, an available Cummins diesel option expands the Power Wagon story for buyers who want off-road hardware with towering diesel torque.
