2014 RAM 2500 Tradesman

The 2500 is Ram's heavy-duty pickup, the one you step up to when you need serious towing and payload capacity beyond what a half-ton provides. It drives with the authority you expect from a heavy-duty truck, feeling planted and confident whether you're hauling a trailer or just cruising empty. The ride is firm when unladen, which is the trade-off for the stiff springs and heavy-duty suspension that let it handle big loads. Inside, the cabin is roomy and well-built, with comfortable seats and a straightforward layout that makes long drives easy. The Tradesman is the work-ready base trim, skipping chrome and leather for vinyl floors and a rubberized bedliner that make cleanup easy after a day on the job. Its 6.7L I6 makes 383 horsepower and 400 lb-ft of torque, paired with a six-speed automatic and four-wheel drive, giving you the muscle to pull heavy trailers without breaking a sweat.
