Does the Ram 2500 or Ram 3500 have air suspension?

Ram 2500 and Ram 3500 trucks can be equipped with an exclusive Auto-Level Rear Air Suspension system for easy trailer connection or bed loading. When used correctly, drivers can help balance weight to improve stability and steering response with a heavy load.

Do diesel truck engines last longer?

Depending on usage and maintenance, diesel truck engines can last longer due to their durable design that is meant to withstand high cylinder pressure. With diesel fuel also acting as a lubricant, these engines can remain cool and minimize friction while working hard, with some Cummins^® engines reaching far beyond 400,000 miles.

Are diesel trucks more fuel efficient?

Diesel trucks can be more fuel efficient at highway speeds due to their high compression ratio, turbocharged induction system, and ability to operate at low engine speeds to improve efficiency on the highway. Actual fuel economy ratings may vary depending on vehicle size, operating conditions, and driver habits.

Do diesel trucks have more torque and towing power?

Diesel trucks can produce more torque than their gasoline counterparts, allowing them to pull heavier loads with less mechanical stress. As an example, the 2023 Ram 3500 can only tow up to 18,210 pounds with the standard 6.4-liter HEMI^® V8 engine, while the optional 6.7-liter Cummins Turbo Diesel is capable of towing up to 22,660 pounds.

When did Dodge Ram become Ram?

In 2009, Chrysler, the parent company of Dodge and Ram (which is part of Stellantis) split off Ram from the Dodge brand. The move was made to separate these trucks as a standalone brand because trucks like the Ram 2500 and Ram 3500 deserved to have their own spotlight. Ram was always the brand synonymous with toughness, durability, and dependability, and making that its own brand has proven to be the right move as many still look to the brand to provide them with tough, heavy-duty trucks like the Ram 2500 and Ram 3500 to get the job done at the work site.

What's the difference between a Cummins diesel engine and other diesel engines?

Cummins diesel engines, which are equipped on Ram 2500 and Ram 3500 options here at our Wasilla Ram dealership, stand out in various ways over other engines on rival truck brands. As an engine that uses common rail direct fuel injection and a turbocharger, it helps optimize fuel delivery with your automatic transmission for a powerful and responsive ride. Cummins diesel engines are also lauded because they have a simple design that often means fewer repairs. These also possess class-leading torque as the maximum option can reach over 1,000 pound-feet of torque while offering standout fuel economy and comparably lower noise levels.
