2021 RAM 2500 Tradesman

The 2021 Ram 2500 is a heavy-duty pickup built for serious towing and hauling, with a choice of gas or diesel power. It squares off against the Ford F-250 and Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD in the heavy-duty truck segment. The 2500 rides with a firm, truck-like feel that is the price of its heavy-duty capability, but steering is direct and braking is strong. Crew cabs offer generous rear-seat space, and higher trims bring leather, wood trim, and a large touchscreen. The Tradesman is the work-oriented base trim, skipping the chrome and leather of the Laramie and Big Horn in favor of a vinyl floor and steel wheels. The manual shift-on-the-fly transfer case gives you full control over four-wheel drive engagement, a feature higher trims often replace with a knob.
