Under the Hood of the Dodge Ram 2500
The Ram 2500 offers both a 2 wheel drive and 4 wheel drive configuration.  There are two engines available for the 2500.  They include the standard 5.7 liter V8 that creates 345 horsepower and 375 lb ft of torque.  This engine is quite capable for practically all drivers.  However, if you are heavy tower or hauler, you might look into the exceptional 5.9 liter Cummins turbodiesel which produces a massive 325 horses and 610 lb ft of torque.  This engine is matched with a 4 speed automatic.

The Interior of the Dodge Ram 2500
The Ram 2500 comes in plenty of configurations including a regular cab, super cab and mega cab.  It should be noted that the mega cab gives you a condo like interior, but takes a way a few inches of the bed.  Regarding the quality of the interior, inside you will find a very comfortable, roomy area with a nicely designed dash and many of the amenities that you will find in a passenger car.  Included are quite a few amenities that make working off site more manageable- as many now use their truck as a second office once on the road.
