Heavy-duty jobs that demand unrelenting brute strength call for a RAM 2500 or a RAM 3500. In such instances, the financially smart decision is to invest in a pre-owned RAM heavy-duty truck instead of paying for a brand-new model that offers the same power and durability at a higher price.
Powerful Lineup of Engines
RAM pickup trucks produced during the last two decades feature a range of powerful engines. Fourth-generation models, which were produced between 2009 and 2018, are available with a 5.7L HEMI V8 that produces 383 hp and 400 lb-ft of torque; a 6.4L HEMI V8 that produces 410 hp and 429 lb-ft of torque; and a Cummins 6.7L turbo diesel inline-six that produces 350 hp and up to 900 lb-ft of torque.
Fifth-generation RAM 2500 and 3500 pickup trucks, which debuted in 2019, feature the same engine options as their predecessors. However, the Cummins diesel engine’s output is amped up to 420 hp and 1,075 lb-ft of torque, improving the pickup truck’s overall capabilities.
Extreme Towing and Hauling Capabilities
Used RAM 2500 and 3500 models don’t shy away from heavy-duty work. A fourth-generation RAM 3500 equipped with the diesel engine can tow up to 31,210 lbs. Meanwhile, a used fifth-generation diesel RAM 3500 can deliver a towing capacity of up to 37,090 lbs. The fifth-gen RAM 3500 with its base gas engine also offers a max payload rating of 7,680 lbs.
Excellent Durability
It is not uncommon to see a RAM 2500 or 3500 last several decades with little to no repairs. Most of a RAM truck’s body is constructed using galvanized steel and aluminum to withstand immense stress, and a thermal hydroformed tubular front frame provides an uncompromisingly strong base for heavy-duty towing. Depending on the model year, a used RAM pickup truck can also contain multi-link front suspension and leaf rear suspension to help distribute the weight of a load evenly.
Advanced Trailering Technology
RAM pickup trucks turn your workday into a breeze with advanced trailering technology. Some of the tech features you can expect to find in a used RAM pickup truck include Trailer Reverse Steering Control, a trailer tire pressure monitoring system, and 360-degree surround view cameras.
