Buying a truck is often about capability. Most drivers are focused on things like horsepower, torque, and trailering. These are all of paramount importance since they're what sets a truck apart from other types of vehicles. This is especially true of heavy-duty trucks—and that's when you'll want to look for a 2024 Ram 2500 for sale.

This heavy-duty version of Ram’s exceptional pickup truck delivers exceptional capability combined with features that put this in a class of its own. In addition, Ram offers this model with so many options that you can easily find one that works best for you.

If you are looking for a 2024 Ram 2500 of your own, the place to go is Ruge’s Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram. We carry the full lineup of Ram trucks, including the 2024 Ram 2500, which allows us to help you get the exact trim, cab, engine, and drivetrain that will suit your lifestyle.

Three Cabs to Choose From

The folks at Ram understand that each driver has their own needs. This is why the 2024 Ram 2500 comes in seven different trims with three different cab styles. These trims give you different levels of features, while the cabs help you design your truck to best serve your needs.

The regular cab has two doors and seating for up to three passengers. This helps give you the most optimal towing and hauling capability, making it an ideal design for commercial purposes. If you are interested in a Ram 2500 with a regular cab, you will have to choose the Tradesman trim, as this is the only one that offers this style.

The Ram 2500 also comes in two different four-door cab styles. The most common is the crew cab, which is available on every trim of the 2024 model. This has seating for up to six passengers if you choose a trim with a front-row bench seat or five passengers with front bucket seats. This has plenty of space, making it a great model for work and personal usage. The crew cab provides 40.9 inches of legroom in the front row and 40.2 inches in the back.

You can also choose a mega cab on the 2024 Ram 2500. This is available on the Limited, Limited Longhorn, and Laramie trims and gives you an incredible amount of passenger space. Just like the crew cab, you can seat up to five passengers with this cab. However, while the front row also has 40.9 inches of legroom, the rear increases to 43.1 inches of legroom; this is perfect for drivers who plan to use their Ram 2500 as a family vehicle, as it allows everyone to stretch out on long trips.

Available Advanced Safety Features

Passenger safety is not just about passive features. While things like airbags will help in the event of a collision, sometimes the best safety is to avoid accidents altogether. Ram helps you accomplish this in the 2024 Ram 2500 with a set of active driver assistance features. Forward Collision Warning with Active Braking will alert you if your truck is getting too close to the vehicle in front of it and activate the emergency brakes so you can take evasive action to avoid a collision.

Sometimes, you may get distracted for even a moment while driving your truck. This momentary lapse of attention may cause your Ram 2500 to drift into an adjacent lane. To prevent this from happening, Ram offers LaneSense Lane Departure Warning. This will sound an alert as you start to drift so you can take corrective action to get back in the lane.

When you are driving late at night, you may enter areas of low light, which requires you to keep turning your high beams on and off. If you choose a Ram 2500 with Adaptive Forward Lighting System, this will take care of the hassle for you. As you enter a poorly lit area, your high beams will turn on automatically. As soon as lighting improves, they will turn off. In fact, if you encounter another motorist, the high beams will also temporarily turn off to avoid distracting the other driver.

Payload Beds Not Just for Hauling

Each trim of the 2024 Ram 2500 comes with a six-foot, four-inch bed that has space for up to 57.5 cu.ft. of cargo. However, on the Big Horn, Tradesman, and Laramie trims, you can also opt for an eight-foot bed that can provide you with 74.7 cu.ft. of cargo space. Whichever you choose, you are getting a heavy-duty truck that can haul mightily. When you choose a 6.4-liter HEMI V8, you can tow up to 4,000 lbs, while models equipped with the 6.7-liter Cummins Turbo-Diesel I-6 have 3,150 lbs of cargo-carrying capability.

Ram offers you so much more in your payload bed, though. For example, you can get an available 115-volt, 400-watt bed outlet that will come in handy if you are on a job site, giving you an auxiliary power source for your tools. It even allows you to convert the tailgate into a workbench or other workspace. This power outlet comes in handy for tailgating and camping as well.

You can also choose to equip your Ram 2500 with a RamBox Cargo Management System, which will allow you to make the most of that expansive space in your truck’s payload box. If you choose this feature, you will get two lockable storage bins that will keep your valuables secure. These are drainable as well, so you can keep them clean without too much work. The bins have LED lighting to make them useful even at night. The RamBox also includes a 115-volt power outlet and remote access from your key fob, so you can gain entry easily.

Uconnect Keeps You Connected

Staying connected and entertained on the road is something that most drivers desire, which is why Ram offers an available Uconnect 5 NAV system on the 2024 Ram 2500. You can choose between an 8.4-inch or 12.0-inch touchscreen, and you can connect your phone using Apple CarPlay and Android Auto so you can make hands-free calls and texts.

The system with the 12.0-inch screen even features wireless connectivity, so you can pair your phone even if you left your charging cables at home, as well as dual-phone connectivity, which allows you and another person to access the system at the same time. You can also stream your favorite music through the Uconnect system, providing you with a personalized soundtrack for your next work or pleasure trip. The built-in turn-by-turn navigation will also help you get there in the most efficient route.

Trailering Made Easy

Ram offers an available 360-degree Trailer Surround View Camera; this will help when you are using the Ram 2500 for trailering. It employs multiple views around and behind your trailer, making it easier to hitch your trailer, especially when using the guidance feature. Once you are on the road, the cameras will make it safer and easier to drive with your trailer hitched. You will be able to see the traffic behind you and make lane changes with ease.

Each 2024 Ram 2500 has a set of Telescopic Trailer Tow Mirrors. These can be extended to give you greater angles of observation when towing and then set back in place when you are driving without a trailer. Ram has included these because it understands that many drivers choose a Ram 2500 for its towing capabilities.

When you equip your truck with a 6.4-liter HEMI V8, you can tow up to 17,730 lbs, while opting for an available 6.7-liter Cummins Turbo-Diesel gives you the power to tow an exceptional 19,990 lbs. With either powertrain, the clout and tech features of the Ram 2500 give you the edge when you're slated for trailering.
