Ram 2500 Trim Levels

Choose among these seven trim levels:
- Tradesman®
- Big Horn®
- Laramie®
- Rebel
- Power Wagon®
- Limited Longhorn™
- Limited
Opt for the base trim, the Tradesman®, for a model with a 6.4-liter V-8 engine capable of 410 horsepower and 850 pound-feet of torque. You can expect standard features like 17-inch steel wheels, vinyl bench seats, and an attractive black grille and rear bumper that matches.
However, other factors may come at an additional cost, like an 8.4-inch navigation display and a 360-degree camera view.
Choosing the highest trim level, the Limited, will net you the most standard features and allow you to customize your vehicle with other, more advanced features. For example, you can expect a standard 8.4-inch navigation system or upgrade to the available 12-inch display for an additional cost.
Enjoy a standard 12-inch digital cluster, leather seating with real wood and aluminum accents, and blind-spot monitoring - all standard on the Limited trim.
Opt for an upgrade for other features like available deployable running boards, rearview mirror and side camera integration, and a 17-speaker sound system. Ask our specialists in Silver Spring, MD, for a tour of the interior features so you can discover what you want most from your truck.
Ram 2500 Specs
Your 2023 Ram 2500 is a beast of a truck with rugged capability. You can choose among two different engine types: a 6.7-liter Cummins® Turbo Diesel I-6 engine offering 370 horsepower and a 6.4-liter HEMI® V-8 engine capable of 410 horsepower. Most trims will include the 6.4-liter engine standard, but opting for a trim level with the 6.7-liter engine will offer you better towing capacity.
For example, you can get up to 850 pound-feet of torque using the diesel engine - more than the HEMI® engine. Although the HEMI® engine will give you about 40 more horsepower, it'll only offer 429 pound-feet of torque. The HEMI® engine, while capable, will also reduce your maximum towing capacity, but you'll gain more maximum payload capacity.
Ram 2500 Towing Capacity & Payload
The Ram 2500 towing capacity is impressive, no matter which trim level or engine type you use. However, the 2023 Ram 2500 diesel engine will give the best performance and specifications, although it uses diesel fuel.
The HEMI® engine will allow you to tow up to 17,730 pounds when properly equipped. However, if you opt for the unique diesel engine, you can tow a maximum of 19,980 pounds when properly equipped - an amount that can help you transport heavy items and increase your productivity.
