Performance
In terms of horsepower, the Ram 2500 packs quite a punch and will knock the typical truck down a few rungs. On the other hand, keep in mind that high horsepower engines often command higher insurance premiums.

Handling
With their similar turning circles, the average truck and the Dodge Ram 2500 quite certainly handle almost the same into and out of tight spots.

Drivetrain
The Dodge Ram 2500's engine is significantly more sizeable than the typical truck's. Keep in mind that larger engines may use more gas than smaller ones. Torque is the force that lets you accelerate quickly, and in this respect, the Dodge Ram 2500 is considerably more powerful than the average truck. The average truck could learn a lesson or two from the Dodge Ram 2500 with respect to torque.

Utility
There's no clear winner between the Dodge Ram 2500 and the typical truck when it comes to transporting cargo. The Dodge Ram 2500 will quite certainly prove friendlier than the average truck for those of you with frequent kid-cargo. The Ram 2500 is a better choice than the typical truck regarding transporting cargo, especially if you often need to carry a lot of luggage or sizeable dogs. Towing is considerably more the Dodge Ram 2500's forte than it is the average truck's.

Comfort
While the front cabin in the Dodge Ram 2500 offers a bit more head room than the typical truck, there frankly isn't much of a difference. The Dodge Ram 2500 offers more head- and leg-room to your passengers than the average truck does.

Dimensions
The Dodge Ram 2500 is significantly heavier than the typical truck. Your wallet will hurt more every time you fill up the Dodge Ram 2500 than the average truck because of its larger tank. The average truck and the Dodge Ram 2500 compete for the same parking spaces. The Ram 2500's longer wheelbase will result in a smoother, more stable ride; however, the average truck may give a nimbler feel in daily traffic.

Cost
The destination charge is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle from its point of origin to the dealer. It costs roughly the same to get the typical truck to the dealership as the Ram 2500. When it comes to MSRP, the typical truck costs considerably less than the Dodge Ram 2500.

Warranty
Although the basic after-sale protection that comes with the typical truck is somewhat longer than the Ram 2500's, the difference isn't too considerable.
