Reviews SummaryRam HD trucks, such as the 2500 and the 3500, may be expensive, but they're invaluable to the owners who need their immense capability. There’s a Ram truck to match the needs of every heavy-duty truck buyer, from off-roaders to camping enthusiasts and those who make their living hauling loads across the country.
