To earn the heavy-duty designation, pickup truck models must be able to haul more than 3,000 pounds and tow trailers that exceed 10,000 pounds of gross vehicle weight. While this sounds like the activities mostly associated with work trucks, heavy-duty models such as the Ram 2500 allow drivers in Mishawaka, IN to do much more. When the Ram 2500 made its debut as a Dodge brand in the mid-1990s, it was mostly designed as a heavy-duty pickup truck for work; these days, however, the fifth generation of this vehicle family features seven trim levels that offer more than just capacity.

The Ram 2500 truck family can adjust to various lifestyles in Granger. Let's go over the trim levels currently available from Michiana Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram FIAT:

Tradesman

Here's your basic and fully capable work truck; it comes with a regular cab in a 4x2 configuration and an 8-ft bed. The 6.4L HEMI V8 powertrain generates 410 horsepower and 850 pound-feet of torque, thus providing enough capacity for hauling payloads up to 4,000 pounds and towing trailers as heavy as 20,000 pounds. A surround-view towing camera and telescoping mirrors for towing operations are optional.

Big Horn

If your daily driving around Niles and Michigan City involves passenger transportation, the Ram 2500 Big Horn comes in a crew cab 4x4 configuration with a 6.4-ft bed. The interior cabin offers seating for up to six adult passengers, and there are additional amenities such as a larger infotainment touchscreen, extra USB charging ports, and more.

Laramie

This Ram 2500 trim level has upscale features for a more luxurious truck experience. The significant interior upgrades include premium upholstery, advanced technology features, exterior cosmetic details, and additional functions such as digital rearview mirrors that incorporate side views, remote tailgate operation, and a towing system.

Rebel

With this trim, the Ram 2500 is given off-road capability with a distinctive look. The Rebel caters to drivers who want a truck that can handle challenging road surface conditions; some of its off-road features include increased ground clearance, rear limited slip differential with electronic locking, a tuned suspension system, and all-terrain tires. The 6.7L Cummins Turbo Diesel I6 power plant makes the Ram 2500 Rebel a more capable off-road driving machine.

Power Wagon

This is the most capable off-road Ram 2500 you can drive; it is the kind of truck with which you can enter the Baja 1000 endurance challenge. All the powertrain, driveline, and suspension features of the Rebel are in the Power Wagon, but you also get off-road performance enhancements such as a winch, skid plates, special axles, and superior ground clearance. The Power Wagon is a 4x4 crew cab with a 6.4-ft bed and 33-inch Goodyear Wrangler DuraTrac tires.

Limited Longhorn

If you look at the Ram 2500 Laramie and wonder if things could get more luxurious and refined, you need to check out the Limited Longhorn, a stylish pickup truck to elevate your driving experience from South Bend to Elkhart, IN. While this trim shares the same chassis platform as the other Ram 2500 levels, the exterior frame and interior configuration are designed in the Southwestern style for maximum aesthetics.

Limited

This is the collector's edition trim level of the current Ram 2500 generation. What you get with this truck is a perfect balance of luxury and capability. All the heavy-duty performance upgrades available for the Ram 2500 family are packed into the Limited trim; plus, all the upscale options, such as the 12-inch Uconnect touchscreen with integrated navigation and the 17-speaker Harman Kardon audio system, are also included.
