Why it stands out

The 2017 RAM 2500 stands out as a heavy-duty truck that had already moved well beyond its workhorse roots by this point. In its fourth generation, it gained luxurious interiors and upmarket trims, along with more bright chrome, larger headlamps, and bigger bumpers. It also introduced technology such as the Uconnect infotainment system, cruise control, available keyless entry, and an optional 10-speaker premium Alpine sound system, while still offering Regular-, Quad- and Mega-cab configurations with 2WD and 4WD drivetrains.

What makes the 2017 model especially appealing is how much capability it paired with that added comfort. The generation’s engine range included the 5.7-litre Hemi V8, the 6.4-litre Hemi V8, and the 6.7-litre Cummins turbodiesel, and the Ram 2500 retained its manual transmission option throughout this generation. It also offered a maximum towing capacity that ranged from 6,660 kilograms to 7,800 kilograms across the generation, which helps explain why it remained attractive to buyers who wanted serious utility without giving up refinement.

For 2017 specifically, the Ram 2500 received a new Off-Road Package with bed-side graphics, off-road suspension, front tow hooks, and the protection package. This was also the year the Ram 2500 Power Wagon returned, adding extra appeal for buyers who wanted a more rugged, trail-ready version of the truck. At the same time, the model’s size and step-up height could make it difficult to enter and exit, and the column shifter was described as feeling flimsy, so its strengths were not without a few compromises.
