2015 RAM 2500

The RAM 2500 has been a powerful workhorse in the pickup truck segment since it first rolled off the assembly line. Previously sold under the Dodge name, Chrysler dropped the brand name from its pickup trucks in 2006, and it has been sold as simply the RAM 2500 ever since. 

The mid-tier 2500 has seen various revisions and overhauls in the past five years, culminating with the current 2015 model year. Truck enthusiasts will be pleased with the range of trim levels offered in the 2015 RAM 2500, packed with enough power and amenities to fit into any lifestyle and budget.

The most notable trim level package, the Power Wagon, sets itself apart from all other RAM 2500 models, featuring numerous unique standard features. Drivers can get back to the root of the pickup truck with the Cummins diesel engine, which offers more power than the standard HEMI V8. 

Regardless of trim level, engine type, or standard features, the 2015 RAM 2500 is a pickup truck that lives to perform, and impress.
