Are you in the market for a full-size pickup that can handle all of the hard jobs? The new 2020 Ram 2500 Tradesman is a perfect choice! With two powertrains to pick from, you can find the ideal match to suit your needs.
Â
The first engine that you’ll see grumbling under the hood is a 6.4 L HEMI V8 that uses variable valve timing and multi-displacement technology. Equipped with an 8-speed automatic transmission and either RWD or 4WD, it generates 410 hp and 429 lb-ft of torque.
Â
If you prefer an alternative to gasoline, then the available 6.7 L Cummins I-6 turbodiesel motor may be better for you. Fitted with a 6-speed and the same drivetrain options, this unit produces 400 hp and 1,000 lb-ft (best-in-class). The maximum towing limit is capped at 6,822 kg (15,040 lbs) for both.
Â
Finally, heavy-duty front/rear shock absorbers and a coil spring suspension system provide a much smoother ride. You will barely feel any bumps in the road.
