The 2024 Ram 2500 / 3500 Heavy Duty trucks are undisputed leaders in the world of heavy-duty pickups, showcasing unparalleled durability, performance, and innovation. This powerhouse of a vehicle boasts a remarkable combination of extreme towing capacity, cutting-edge technology, and luxurious comfort. Let’s explore the exceptional features that make the 2024 Ram Heavy Duty series a true force to be reckoned with.
In terms of raw power and capability, the 2024 Ram Heavy Duty lineup leaves no room for doubt. The Ram 3500, in particular, sets a new benchmark with an astonishing towing capacity of up to 37,090 pounds, demonstrating its ability to handle the most challenging tasks. The Ram 2500 isn’t far behind, offering an impressive towing capacity of up to 20,000 pounds. Moreover, the payload capacity is equally impressive, with the Ram 3500 boasting the capability to carry up to 7,680 pounds.
Under the hood, these trucks are equipped with a range of formidable engine options. The 6.4-liter (392 cubic-inch) HEMI® V8 engine, known as the Big Gas Engine (BGE), delivers a potent 410 horsepower and 429 lb.-ft. of torque. This engine features variable-valve timing (VVT) with Fuel Saver Technology cylinder deactivation, ensuring an optimal balance of performance and efficiency.
For diesel enthusiasts, the Cummins Turbo Diesel lineup offers two compelling choices. The Standard-Output Turbo Diesel produces 370 horsepower and an impressive 850 lb.-ft. of torque, while the High-Output (H.O.) Turbo Diesel takes it even further with an extraordinary 420 horsepower and an astonishing 1,075 lb.-ft. of torque in the Ram 3500.
The 2024 Ram Heavy Duty doesn’t just excel in power; it also sets high standards for ride comfort and handling. The class-exclusive link-coil rear suspension system in the Ram 2500, complemented by the optional rear air suspension in both the 2500 and 3500 models, ensures a smooth and controlled ride, even when carrying heavy loads. This unique combination of power and finesse distinguishes the Ram Heavy Duty from its competitors.
Ram continues to lead in innovation, and the 2024 models are no exception. The Uconnect 5 infotainment system, featuring a user-friendly 12-inch touchscreen, offers a rich and intuitive interface that keeps drivers connected and in control.
