2018 RAM 2500 Bloomfield Hills MI

What type of power will I get with the 2018 RAM 2500

To be put simply the 2018 RAM 2500 has a choice of three engines. First, there is a 5.7-liter V8 that will give you 383 horsepower at 5,600 rpm and 400 lb.-ft. of torque. A feature for this engine is variable-valve timing (VVT), which offers greater efficiency and performance. Next up is a 6.4-liter V8 that puts out 410 horsepower at 5,600 rpm and 429 lb.-ft. of torque at 4,000 rpm. The larger V8 also features VVT, but additionally comes with Fuel Saver Technology cylinder deactivation. And then there is the 6.7-liter Cummins High-Output Turbo Diesel. It produces up to 385 horsepower at 2,800 rpm and 900 lb.-ft. of torque depending on the application. There is a choice between two-wheel drive or 4-wheel drive for all models. In terms of transmissions, the gasoline-powered RAM 2500s are all paired to a 6-speed automatic. Diesel truck owners can choose between that or a segment-exclusive 6-speed manual transmission. Diesel models also come with exhaust braking, which gives extra stopping power. Towing numbers for the 5.7-liter Hemi V8 come in at 13,900 pounds. The larger 6.4-liter V8 bumps it up to a class-leading 16,320 pounds of towing power. The diesel may be the model to get if you are doing some serious towing - it offers up to 17,980 pounds of towing capacity.

What are some of the exterior design features?

There are four exterior configurations for the 2018 RAM HD - the Regular Cab 8-ft. bed, the Crew Cab 6-ft., 4-in. bed, the Crew Cab 8-ft. bed, and the Mega Cab 6-ft., 4 in. bed. The RAM HD comes with some nifty features such as a remote exterior switch in the truck bed to activate LED bed lights. All models also now come standard with a backup camera. The look of the RAM 2500 is big and bold and features an aggressive front grill. It shares styling cues with its smaller RAM1 500 sibling, but compared to the 1500, appears more muscular.

Does the RAM 2500 offer advanced cabin technologies?

Absolutely! New for this model year is an 8.4-inch radio with 4G LTE, HD Radio, Android Auto/Apple Car Play, USB Flip, pinch to zoom and improved resolution. You can get Sirius Guardian, a service that comes with SOS, Assist, Remote Services, Send and Go. and Vehicle Finder. The cabin of the RAM HD goes beyond what you might imagine a basic work truck to be like. It is modern, and features high-quality materials and just about any technology features you would want. The higher-end Laramie and Limited models take it to the level of luxurious. In fact, the Ram Limited offers a cabin with real wood, real leather and 12-inch Uconnect touchscreen. Climate-controlled seats, a heated steering wheel, a long and deep center console, and additional storage behind the reclining rear seats are just a few of the many other features.
