2016 RAM 2500 Tradesman

The Ram 2500 is the heavy-duty half of Ram's pickup range, built for serious towing and hauling duty. It drives with a planted, confident feel, and the steering is direct enough that you always know where the front wheels are. The ride is firm when unladen, which is the trade-off for the payload capacity, but the cabin stays quiet on the highway. Inside, you get a roomy cabin with a straightforward dashboard, and the available crew cab offers generous rear legroom. The Tradesman is the work-spec Ram 2500, with a vinyl floor, manual mirrors, and a 40/20/40 split bench seat that skips the frills of the Big Horn or Laramie. Under the hood is the 5.7L I8 paired with an automatic transmission, and with rear-wheel drive it's the kind of powertrain that'll pull a heavy trailer all day without complaint. It comes with a Class V receiver hitch and trailer wiring standard, so you can hook up a trailer right away without adding any packages.
