Used Ram 2500
First Generation, 2011-Current
Comfort: As far as heavy-duty trucks are concerned, the used Ram 2500 provides best-in-class interior comfort. Its cabin is decked in high-quality materials and luxurious offerings like leather upholstery, so you'll enjoy modern style and comfort, no matter how far you wander into off-road territory.
Technology & Convenience: Features like dual-zone automatic climate control are the perfect remedy to a long commute. On some used Rams, you'll also find hard-drive-based navigation, which comes in handy if you need to find your way around a traffic jam or can't locate a construction site. Bluetooth lets you link devices to the central system, and it's easy to stream your favorite Pandora stations from devices.
Safety: These colossal trucks are equipped with anti-lock brakes and trailer stability control - items to help you maintain control over your ride, no matter the weather.
Performance: The Ram 2500 is specially designed for heavy-duty performance. Under the hood, you'll find either a gasoline or diesel-powered engine, the latter of which is the right choice for those who require maximum towing and hauling capabilities. The standard 5.7-liter V8 engine produces 383 horsepower and 400 pound-feet of torque, which is still plenty of output for a heavy-duty performance. With the 6.7-liter inline six-cylinder Cummins turbodiesel engine, however, you can move max loads with 350 horses and up to 800 pound-feet of torque. On the used lot, you'll find both two- and four-wheel drive Ram trucks. The latter will help you move through rugged territory, enhancing traction over soft surfaces like sand, mud, or snow.
What Drivers Love about the Used Ram 2500
This heavy-duty pickup truck is all about power, supplying the kind of world-class towing and hauling capabilities you need to pull heavy farming machinery or a substantial toy hauler. But, more than any other heavy-duty pickup truck out there, the Ram 2500 adds a level of luxury to your ride, thanks to its best-in-class cabin comfort. You'll find high-quality cabin materials and an upscale design in every trim model - including spacious, nicely contoured seating for a snug ride.
What to Look for in Your Used Ram 2500
Since it first appeared for the 2011 model year, the Ram 2500 has undergone only a few tweaks. Beginning in 2012, this heavy-duty truck replaced its five-speed automatic transmission with a more modern six-speed, improving fuel economy at higher speeds. That same year, both the Laramie and Longhorn introduced a standard navigation system, making it easy for drivers to find their way around a traffic jam and get to work on time.
Used Ram 2500 Buyers Beware
The first-generation Ram 2500 debuted for the 2011 model year, when Dodge's parent company Chrysler decided to transform the Ram into its own brand name. The 2011 Ram 2500 was actually just a continuation of the fourth-generation Dodge Ram, which debuted in 2010. Although one has a Dodge in its name and the other doesn't, they're actually part of the same lineage.
