Even when cruising at a low speed, riding in the cabin is comfortable, and the suspension works at a whisper. You'll barely notice bumps and potholes in the road, and the body roll isn't too bad around corners. The independent front and rear multi-link suspension comes with a leaf spring solid axle rear setup and outdoes most competitors, ensuring a smooth ride at high speeds. For an even more level drive, you can opt for the auto-leveling air suspension for the rear. more Safety RAM 2500s are equipped with many driver-assist technologies. If you like to get rowdy, you can rest at ease knowing this truck received 4 stars in the NHTSA crash test. You can choose to add the Safety Group package to any of the models in this range.

Store items in the large center console and the roomy under-armrest or use the wide pockets in the doors. RAM has done an excellent job on the seating; we loved the upholstered leather chairs that keep you feeling comfortable and supported even on long drives.

If you'd like to stick to something a little more modest, the base-level Tradesman package has a 5-inch screen. Depending on the trim level, you can opt for 6-17 speakers, a 360-degree camera, a 220-amp alternator, and a towing camera.
