What the Critics Say
“As you'd expect from a truck such as the Ram 2500, towing and hauling capability is massive. The available rear air suspension's exclusive kneeling function makes loading and trailer hookups easy. The Ram's maximum payload and towing capacities are impressive even among the admittedly strong competition.” — Edmunds
“Ram also managed to turn its heavy-duty pickup into a pretty, almost elegant machine. The 2500 boasts a better interior than its competition, too, with high-quality materials, clever and useful design, and a level of modern technology that leads the segment. Excellent ride quality and supreme interior comfort make the big Ram a great road trip companion, too, whether you have a 15,000-pound boat in tow or not.” — MotorTrend
What's New for 2023
The biggest update to the Ram HD family of trucks for 2023 is the arrival of an all-new Rebel trim level. Available exclusively as a 2500 model, the new Rebel trim can be optioned with either the gas or diesel engine. You’ll also receive plenty of off-road-focused equipment like an elevated suspension, skid plate protection, and an electronically locking rear differential. Elsewhere, shoppers can now opt for an available 12.0-inch digital gauge cluster, digital rearview mirror, or a new Trailer Reverse Steering control function on 2023 Ram HD models.
