2019 Ram 2500

The 2019 Ram Heavy Duty is the most powerful, most capable pickup in the segment with a towing capacity of 35,100 pounds and a payload capacity of 7,680 pounds.

The new Ram Heavy Duty also sets benchmarks in ride and handling, luxury, materials, innovation and technology extending well past any competitive offerings.

With a long list of upgrades, the new Cummins 6.7-liter I-6, high-output Turbo Diesel delivers up to 1,000 lb.-ft. of torque at 1,800 rpm and 400 horsepower at 2,800 rpm. The new Cummins Turbo Diesel weighs more than 60 pounds less than the previous-generation engine, yet delivers more power and torque.

The second variant of the Cummins Turbo Diesel also gets a performance boost with 370 horsepower at 2,800 rpm and 850 lb.-ft. of torque at 1,700 rpm.

The standard engine in the 2019 Ram 2500 and 3500 Heavy Duty is upgraded to the proven and potent 6.4-liter HEMI V-8, delivering class-leading 410 horsepower at 5,600 rpm and 429 lb.-ft. of torque at 4,000 rpm to handle the payload and towing requirements of the heavy-duty truck user.

Heavy Duty trucks generally have a suspension equipped for constant, heavy payloads. This leads to a harsher ride when unloaded. The 2019 Ram Heavy Duty includes Frequency Response Damping (FRD) shocks on all four corners. The valves of an FRD shock automatically adjust for the type of vertical wheel input, allowing the Ram Heavy Duty to have sports-car-like suspension for handling and a supple suspension on rough terrain.

A new braking system upgrades the calipers, booster and master cylinder. Combined with a larger-ratio pedal swing, the 2019 Ram Heavy Duty delivers a more powerful execution with little effort from the driver. The reengineered system also offers shorter stopping distances and braking to match the highest capability.
