Whether you prefer conventional gasoline or an alternative, the new 2021 Ram 2500 lineup offers both. Producing extraordinary power, these full-size, heavy-duty trucks will not disappoint.
Â
The standard 6.4 litre HEMI V8 functions with Variable valve Timing (VVT) and a Multi-Displacement System (MDS). Together, this unit pushes out 410 hp (best in class) and 429 lb-ft of torque. Partnered with the 8-speed automatic transmission, it can haul up to 7,956 kg (17,540 lbs) while also managing a payload of 1,818 kg (4,010 lbs). That is strong enough to navigate a construction site with ease.

Next is the turbo diesel motor. This one is a 6.7 litre Inline-6 made by Cummins. Thanks to the multi-range, electronically controlled 6-speed automatic transmission, it is remarkably responsive. Generating 370 hp and a staggering 850 lb-ft of torque, you can haul up to 9,070 kg (20,000 lbs) without breaking a sweat. Meanwhile, the maximum payload is capped at 1,433 kg (3,160 lbs). It is also surprisingly quiet with very little vibration for a more comfortable experience from inside the cabin.
