In 2019 RAM introduced the all-new RAM heavy duty lineup in Detroit. You can be introduced to the new 2020 RAM 2500 near El Paso TX and discover for yourself how much work RAM has put into its new HD pickups. Extensive use of high strength steel in the truck's framework was the biggest change, which helps deliver industry-leading hauling and towing capabilities. More importantly, the 2020 RAM 2500 offers advanced safety features such as automatic emergency braking, forward collision warning, blind spot warning, and lane keeping assistance, on all versions.
RAM redesigned the heavy-duty line from the ground up to make use of lighter, more proficient materials in their manufacture, which resulted in towing capabilities once reserved only for semi- trucks. The driver gets more capability with more safety and usability at "normal" levels. A truck overbuilt for the job will do the job better than a truck built only just capable of it.
The 2020 RAM 2500 near El Paso TX has three available engines. Standard power in all models comes from a 410-hp 6.4-liter V-8, which makes 429 lb-ft of torque. An excellent 8-speed automatic transmission is paired with it. This is the only engine and transmission offered in the Power Wagon, which is exclusively four-wheel drive. However, every other model is also offered with a 6.7-liter Cummins turbo-diesel inline-six with either rear- or four-wheel drive. Two versions of the diesel are available. The first is available in both 2500 and 3500 models and makes 370 horsepower and 850 lb-ft of torque. The 400-hp HO version, which is only available on the 3500, makes an incredible 1000 lb-ft of torque. Both engines are backed by a 6-speed automatic transmission. At 1060 pounds, the Cummins engine outweighs the V-8 by 490 pounds, so the diesel models don't handle quite as well in town, and they're not quick, but they can haul and tow significantly more weight. Ram has done an outstanding job refining the Cummins. Although it's still noisier than the V-8, it's not annoyingly so.
With the Cummins HO and its 1000 lb-ft of torque, a Ram 3500 has a towing capacity of 35,100 pounds and a maximum payload of 7680 pounds. Ram says these numbers are class leading. When equipped with that engine, the more popular 2500 4x4 Crew Cab model offers a max payload of 2380 pounds and max trailer-weight rating of 19,010 pounds. Those are strong numbers for the class. With the 370-hp version of the Cummins, the 2500 4x4 Crew Cab can haul 3240 pounds and pull 16,870. With the standard V-8, the truck can also handle 3240 pounds, and tow 14,370, which is more than enough for most jobs and weekend expeditions.
Riding on a new high-strength steel platform and available in regular, crew, and "mega" cabs with either a 6-foot-4 or 8-foot bed and single or dual rear wheels, the new Ram HD looks modern, purposeful, and clean while featuring a host of functional improvements. The grille, for instance, is 30 percent larger than before to feed the largest radiator and intercooler ever fit to a heavy-duty Ram, and the aluminum hood helps drop weight. The resulting design is not only the most aerodynamic in its class, but also the prettiest.
Just like with the light-duty 1500, the 2020 Ram 2500 near El Paso TX buyers have a myriad of choices. Each of its six trim levels features a distinctive grille, wheel options, and trims that match the character of the truck, ranging from functional and work-ready in Tradesman models to the adventure-friendly 2500 Power Wagon and completely luxurious 2500 Limited. Although heavy-duty trucks from other companies are also large and lavish inside, the Ram has the best interior in the class, with luxury-car-level detailing, extreme comfort, and a clean, modern design, while the top trim levels offer premium materials. The top Longhorn trim even gets striped wood and gold trim on the dash, doors, and gauges along with the Longhorn logo hand-branded into the wood on the truck's upper glove box door. The cabin's design also features functional controls and a ton of interior cubby storage.
The 2020 RAM 2500 near El Paso TX is packed with in-cabin tech that rivals fancy luxury sedans and SUVs, including the latest infotainment technology. The Ram's system is intuitive, with simple menus and prompts. It also responds quickly to user inputs, and its 8.0-inch touchscreen is large and well placed. Ram also offers a giant 12.0-inch reconfigurable touchscreen, which is the largest in the class and gives the truck's interior a high-tech look and feel. The system also features navigation, a 4G LTE mobile hotspot, and Apple CarPlay®/Android Auto™ integration. For your devices, the truck's interior features five USB ports and up to three 115-volt outlets, which can handle up to 400 watts to run or charge tools quickly. Its multilevel center console can accommodate a laptop with a 15.0-inch screen. Every Ram HD also comes with standard acoustic glass and active noise cancellation tied into the audio system, and the result is a truck that's luxury-car quiet inside-even the diesel models.
