2018 Ram 2500 Review
If you live and work in the Franklin, Greenwood, and New Whiteland areas, you've probably seen a lot of powerful pickup trucks around. Many drivers have already seen the benefits of these automotive beasts, but do you think you're ready to upgrade? If you are, then you have quite a few to choose from.
One of the best options is the new 2018 Ram 2500. This incredible truck has a lot to offer, whether you need it for work or just want to take the family out on the best vacation of their lives. Learn more about the 2018 Ram 2500 and all its impressive new features in our detailed review from the team at Fletcher CDJR.
Performance
When you buy a truck, you should expect rugged performance you can count on. No matter what trim level of Ram 2500 you opt for, you'll get exactly that. There are three engine options with the 1500, all of which are powerful.
The first engine is the 5.7L HEMI® V8. This powerhouse produces 383 horsepower, and that's just the start. The upgraded 6.4L HEMI® V8 offers an incredible 410 horsepower, the best in its class.1 However, the most impressive engine is the legendary 6.7L Cummins® Turbo Diesel I6 engine. While horsepower maxes out at 370, its torque is an incredible 800 lb-ft-that's double of the 5.7L engine's torque output.
Capability
A truck wouldn't be useful if it didn't have sufficient capability. With the 2018 Ram 2500, you have more than enough. With the 6.7L engine, you can enjoy a max towing capacity of 17,980 pounds.
This is made possible in part due to the Class-Exclusive Rear Auto-Level Air Suspension. With this innovative piece of engineering, you can select from two smart ride height selections to better match whatever kind of trailer you're hauling. You'll never have to worry about keeping a level load again.
Durability
Your truck needs to be tough, and the 2018 Ram 2500 can withstand a lot. Whether you're driving freely on the road or traversing rough off-road terrain, the 2500 will keep going. The frame is created from hydroformed steel with extra crossmembers for extra strength. With a strong frame to mount suspension components and other important parts, you can be sure your foundation is solid.
Plus, there's also the smart diesel exhaust engine braking technology for the 6.7L engine. With this enhanced component, you can more expertly control the descent of the Ram 2500 on a downward slope. By using a variable nozzle on the diesel's turbo to maintain smooth braking, you'll have improved stability and grip, ensuring a safe ride.
