New 2010 Dodge Ram 2500

When a full-size pickup truck just won’t get the job done, it’s time to go heavy duty, and the freshly redesigned 2010 Dodge Ram 2500 is the truck for the job.

Stump-pulling power starts with the lauded 383-horsepower, 5.7-liter HEMI V-8, which produces 400 lb-ft of torque. That 383-horsepower rating is superior to anything offered on the Ford F-250 or Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD. When you need to bring down an empire, you will need the grunt of the 350-horsepower, 6.7-liter Cummins turbo-diesel inline-six and its 650 pound-feet of torque. Transmission options include a six-speed manual and a six-speed automatic transmission.

Drivetrain configurations include two-and four-wheel drive. Payload reaches a weighty 3,220 pounds, and towing capacity hits 13,400 pounds. To handle those loads, the Ram rides on a fully boxed frame. To soften the ride, the cab’s C-pillar rides on vibration-dampening liquid-filled mounts.

For 2010, the Dodge Ram 2500 is now available in a Crew Cab variation, as well as Regular Cab and Mega Cab. The Mega Cab dominates the full-size truck class with 72.2 cubic feet of interior volume and 7.7 cubic feet of cargo room behind the rear seats. Interior functionality is bolstered by under-floor storage, and for dessert the rear seats can recline for optimal passenger comfort. Those cab options pair with a six-foot-four bed and an eight-foot bed.

The 2010 Dodge Ram 2500 is available in five trim levels: ST, SLT, TRX, Laramie, and Power Wagon. The ST is not wont for power features, while the SLT and SXT open up great options like a sunroof, a TV with DVD entertainment system and a navigation system. The Laramie trim adds leather, and the Power Wagon caters to the off-road, high-ridin’ enthusiast with its 32-inch tires and Bilstein shocks. Heated and ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, SIRIUS Backseat TV with three channels and a 10-speaker surround-sound system are options that make this truck rock. Also available is the Uconnect multimedia system, which allows wireless device connectivity and internet access.

The 2010 Dodge Ram 2500 is built to tackle impacts head on, but you and your passengers will still need the dual front and optional side curtain airbags.

Tons of horsepower and torque work with multiple cab and bed configurations to make the 2010 Dodge Ram 2500 a heavy duty pickup truck force.
