Strength and Versatility

With this edition of the 2500, you can opt for either a 6.7-liter turbo-diesel I6 or a 6.4-liter HEMI V8, both of which are more than capable of going the extra mile and handling tough tasks. The turbo-diesel engine delivers 370 horsepower alongside 850 pound-feet of torque, providing plenty of strength for hauling heavy loads with its 19,980-pound tow rating and 3,140-pound payload strength.

When nature beckons, you'll be more than ready to answer the call with the available four-wheel-drive system and many available extras, like rear-locking differentials for enhanced traction and gas-charged monotube shocks for smoother rides over tough terrains.

Luxury and Convenience

With both a 40/20/40 bench seat and stylish bucket seats available for the front of the cabin, rear folding seats that can free up space for cargo, and multiple fabrics available from cloth to premium leather, you'll find plenty of comfort and convenience options inside this pickup. The available power sunroof is perfect for enjoying sunny days with a flowing breeze, and regardless of the weather outside, the heating and ventilation settings for the front-row seats will certainly be appreciated.

Outside the truck, you can personalize its appearance to your tastes with both subtle monotone paint colors and head-turning two-tone options available, like Delmonico Red or Olive Green with Diamond Black Crystal. A tri-fold tonneau cover is also available to protect cargo, while the RAMBox Cargo Management System helps you keep everything neat and organized in the bed.

Cutting-Edge Technology

This edition also takes no shortcuts when it comes to its technology and driver-assist features, like the Uconnect 5 NAV infotainment system, which offers TomTom navigation assistance, Bluetooth smartphone compatibility, and a 12-inch touchscreen with pinch-to-zoom technology. The convenient Digital Rearview Mirror provides clear views of the area behind the truck, as well as behind any trailer you're towing.

Cruising highways is made easier with the Adaptive Cruise Control feature, which adjusts speed as needed to always ensure you're safely distanced from the vehicle in front of you. If you drift away from the center of your lane, there's also LaneSense Lane Departure Warning with Lane Keep Assist, which can both notify you of this and help guide you back to where you were.

Blending work-ready muscular strength with modern tech and comfort features, this edition of the 2500 offers something for everyone. Contact us today at Enumclaw Chrysler Jeep Dodge RAM to come and see it in person for yourself, and we'll be happy to schedule a test drive at your convenience.

Towing Capacity: A Ram Dealership Takes a Closer Look at the 2024 Ram 1500

When the going gets tough, the tough get towing. As a leading local Ram dealership, one of the things our customers want to know about is towing capacity, and fortunately, the 2024 Ram 1500 has it in spades. Find out why this model year is a favorite for towing trailers, boats, and more. A Frame Built for Towing Ram built the 1500 for towing from the ground up. The chassis is built around a 98% high-strength steel frame, ensuring that the body can take whatever the engine and cargo can dish out. The available air suspension system can also make hooking up trailers a snap, whether you're using a gooseneck, fifth wheel, or conventional hookup. The multifunction tailgate offers unique advantages in hooking up trailers, too. The tailgate can not only swing down to 90 or 180 degrees as needed, but an available 60/40 split swing-away design allows truck bed access even with a trailer attached, while a multifunction light can make hooking up easy, even after dark. Tow-Oriented Tech Towing features don't stop with the chassis or the suspension, though. Features like Trailer Light Check, Trailer Brake Check, and Tow Specific Navigation are all designed to help you get where you're going safely. Additionally, the available Trailer Reverse Steering Control System makes reversing easy, allowing you to steer the trailer with a separate steering knob as the system pilots the truck itself. Ready to Rev: The 3.6 Liter Pentastar The most modest engine Ram offers on the 1500 is still a towing beast. The 3.6-liter Pentastar engine is paired with eTorque Mild Hybrid Technology to increase both efficiency and performance while adding torque to the V6 and allowing for a towing capacity of 7,730 pounds. Best In Class: The 5.7-Liter HEMI V8 The 5.7-liter HEMI V8 can also be paired with the eTorque system, offering up to 395 horsepower and a whopping 410 lb-ft of torque. This engine wins the Ram 1500 the Best-In-Class Available Max Hybrid Towing Capacity at up to 12,750 pounds. That's an incredible amount of towing capacity. Raw Power: The Supercharged 6.2-Liter HEMI V8 The 6.2-liter HEMI V8 trades the efficiency of the eTorque system for the raw power of a supercharger, pumping out a heart-pounding 702 horsepower and seat-pushing 650 lb-ft of torque. While that doesn't translate into higher towing capacity than the 5.7-liter, it does translate into an exhilarating driving experience, letting the Ram 1500 TRX accelerate from zero to sixty in a hair-raising 4.5 seconds.
