All heavy duty pickup trucks share a number of qualities, such as impressive towing capabilities, hefty bed dimensions, and even numerous cab configurations. But where the 2010 Dodge Ram 2500 / 3500 HD truck stands out is in all of those areas and much more. As the first new product launched since Chrysler’s alliance with Fiat, the new Ram Heavy Duty makes a great new additional as it’s one of the most comfortable and quietest heavy duty pickups available. It has even won the coveted Truck of the Year award from Motor Trend.
Let’s first discuss why this truck makes a great work truck. the Ram delivers a towing capacity that ranges from 8,150 pounds to as much as 18,500 pounds. Buyers can choose between the 5.7-liter Hemi V8 that produces 383 horsepower and 400 lb.-ft go torque, or a 6.7-liter Cummins inline-six turbo-diesel that produces 350 horsepower and an incredible 650 lb.-ft of torque. In addition to these two engine choices, buyers can choose between a number of cab, wheelbase, and drivetrain options to help make the process of selecting the right truck for the job easy. The optional Cummins turbo-diesel is among the best engines available in a heavy duty pickup, according to Dodge Jeep Dealer Connecticut.
The Ram’s chassis and suspension are stiffer than before and are eager to tackle even the most robust of tasks. Although some drivers among Dodge dealers Tuscaloosa have found the steering response to be a bit slow, one area where drivers surely won’t complain is the cabin’s accommodations. Not only is the interior whisper quiet, but it features ample storage space, comfortable seats for long hauls, and even stylish wood accents and stitching along the dash. The Quad Cab and Mega configurations also provides plenty of room for full-size adults.
Compared to the standard 1500 Ram truck, the heavy-duty Rams have a more chiseled front fascia, a higher, bolder hood, and a clearance lights. The only feature lacking on the heavy duty models is the Ram Box bedside storage areas features on the non-HD Ram.
Pricing for the 2010 Ram 2500 begins at $28,165, with the 3500 beginning around $35K. With several options for cabs, cargo boxes, powertrains, and much more, the Ram Heavy Duty is perhaps the most versatile heavy duty pickup truck. Its comfortable interior also makes this brute of a truck more civilized than before, which is incredibly important. Honda Washington DC has seen shoppers consider at the Ridgeline for its car-like ride and interior comfort. The latest Ram is intended to deliver a similarly “tame” interior, despite its rough and tumble attitude.
