Please keep reading to uncover the strengths and weaknesses of these two Ram heavyweights, and let's see which one comes out on top in the Ram 1500 vs. 2500 showdown!

Does the Ram 1500 Have More Available Engines Than the Ram 2500?

Let's talk engines! The base model Tradesman throws down the gauntlet with a 3.6L Pentastar V6, but don't let its "base" status fool you. This V6 packs a punch, boosted by an eTorque sidekick – an electric motor like a shot of espresso for your engine. Craving more muscle? The class-exclusive 5.7L HEMI V8 engine with the eTorque Mild Hybrid Technology System comes with 410 pound-feet of torque for a best-in-class max hybrid towing capacity of 12,750 pounds. If you're feeling particularly adventurous, there's the TRX with its jaw-dropping 702 horsepower 6.2-liter supercharged Hemi V8. Switch gears to the Ram 2500 with a 6.4L HEMI V8 and a 6.7L Cummins Turbo Diesel I6 engine. The 6.4L HEMI V8 steals the show with best-in-class standard 410 gas horsepower, thanks to variable-cam timing, delivering impressive capability. On the diesel front, the 370 horsepower 6.7L Cummins Turbo Diesel I6 engine brings serious responsiveness and a torque rating of 850 lb-ft, making it a towing powerhouse capable of hauling up to 19,990 pounds without sacrificing efficiency. Talk about engines that pack a punch!

Is the Ram 2500 Power Wagon Better Off-Road than the Ram 1500 Rebel?

Rev up for off-road adventures! If your sights are set on four-wheel drive, consider yourself lucky because it's an option for all Ram trucks. Meet the Ram 1500 Rebel, the undisputed off-road superstar in the 1500 family. With a one-inch lift, monotube dampers, skid plates aplenty, 18-inch aluminum wheels, and rugged 33-inch all-terrain knobby tires, the Rebel is your trusty companion for delivering top-notch performance and comfort on any challenging terrain. Now, shift gears to the 2500 side of things, and you'll find the off-road champ known as the Power Wagon. This bad boy exclusively rocks the 6.4-liter Hemi V-8 under the hood. It's packing all the bells and whistles of the 1500 Rebel but in a bigger and brawnier package. So, whether you're conquering rocky trails in the Rebel or taking on tougher terrain in the Power Wagon, Ram's got your back for some serious off-road fun!

How Does the Ram 1500 Compare to the 2500 in Cargo Storage?

Step inside either the Ram 1500 or 2500 and prepare to be pampered. Imagine a spacious haven draped in available all-leather upholstery and accented with elegant real wood. This truck isn't just a workhorse; it's a luxurious chariot ready to conquer any commute. Craving even more comfort? Heated and ventilated seats and a panoramic sunroof are yours for the taking. Both trucks boast Ram's class-exclusive RamBox Cargo Management System. However, the 1500 throws in a unique party trick with its split tailgate that opens like barn doors for wider access or folds down like a regular tailgate, adapting to your every need. Whether you prioritize ultimate luxury or a practical, spacious bed for your gear, these Ram trucks have you covered.
