Heavy-duty trucks rely heavily on the engine under the hood, so that is where we'd like to start. Standard equipment for the 2023 Ram 2500 is a 6.4-liter HEMI V8 engine that provides drivers with 410 horsepower and 429 lb-ft of torque. When equipped with Ram's Trailer Tow package, the 2500 is able to tow up to 17,540 pounds behind it. An eight-speed automatic transmission is standard with the HEMI engine, as is rear-wheel drive. However, four-wheel drive is optional for Ram 2500 Tradesman, Big Horn, and Laramie trim levels. Meanwhile, four-wheel drive comes with the Rebel, Power Wagon, and Limited as standard equipment. The Ram 2500's maximum towing capacity is 19,980 pounds. This is provided when the truck is equipped with the 6.7L Cummins TurboDiesel inline-six engine. The turbodiesel engine delivers 370 horsepower and a hefty 850 lb-ft of torque. The engine pairs with a six-speed automatic transmission that is optimized to handle the large amount of torque provided by the engine.

Ram brought out a number of changes to the 2023 Ram 2500. The first update is the available fully digital 12-inch gauge cluster. This gives drivers access to pertinent driving information clearly displayed on a crisp digital screen behind the steering wheel. Information like vehicle speed, fuel economy, turn-by-turn navigation, driver assists, and much more can all be seen on this fully-customizable screen. It can be configured to the driver's preferences, and the layout is memorized using the driver profile settings. This new gauge cluster comes standard with the Limited, Power Wagon, and Rebel trims, while it is optional for the Tradesman, Big Horn, and Laramie. The most notable upgrade for the 2023 Ram 2500 is the all-new Rebel trim. After gaining popularity in the Ram 1500 lineup, the Rebel joins the heavy-duty lineup in the form of the Ram 2500 Rebel to bring drivers superior performance on rugged terrain. It does this using standard 4x4, an electronic locking rear axle, five-link coil independent rear suspension, 33-inch all-terrain tires, gas-charged Bilstein shock absorbers, an electronic limited-slip rear differential, and 11.1 inches of ground clearance. It can be distinguished from the rest of the lineup by its distinctive grille and a Mopar sport performance hood with a functional hood scoop.

The Ram 2500 is an extraordinarily safe heavy-duty truck with all of its standard equipment. The front airbags use adaptive damping to adjust the airbag's deployment rate based on the severity of the impact and size of the occupant. Meanwhile, the Ram 2500 also features seat-mounted side airbags on the front seats and side curtain airbags for both rows of seating. The truck's body sits on a frame made up of 97% high-strength steel to keep impact energy away from the cabin and its occupants. In addition to the standard safety equipment, the Ram 2500 is available with an array of standard driver assistance features. These include blindspot monitoring with rear cross-traffic detection and trailer coverage, lane departure warning, lane keep assist, adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go, forward collision warning, active braking, and more. Also available is a digital rearview mirror that functions as a normal rearview mirror but uses a rear-facing camera to give you an unobstructed view of the road behind you at the push of a button.
