A visit to your local Ram dealer is sure to turn up all sorts of intriguing options. The best-selling Ram 1500, the wallet-friendly Ram 1500 Classic, and the off-road-focused Ram 1500 TRX are just a few of the popular pickups you’ll find here at Randy Marion Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram, but drivers who are in the market for a truck that puts a real premium on performance need look no further than the Ram 2500. more Modern heavy-duty pickups like the Ram 2500 have come a long way from their humble workaday roots. The segment is now populated by a versatile lineup of models that pack just as many tech, comfort, and convenience features as some luxury vehicles, but in the end, trucks like the Ram 2500 are always going to be judged first and foremost by their performance. The 2024 Ram 2500 certainly doesn’t disappoint when it comes to these key metrics, offering 410 hp, 850 lb-ft of torque, and a maximum towing capacity of almost 20,000 lbs. If you’re looking to move mountains––or simply get your boat to the lake for a weekend of fishing––the Ram 2500 is more than happy to oblige. Join us as we browse some of the highlights of the 2024 model and see why the Ram 2500 is the go-to choice for those who know the value of a hard day’s work. Unparalleled Performance The Ram 2500’s slick, modern design and imposing facade might be the first things that catch your attention, but it’s the truck's unparalleled performance and ride comfort that keep drivers coming back for more. When it comes to performance, the Ram 2500’s standard engine is anything but ordinary, with a 6.4L HEMI V8 providing drivers with all the muscle they’ll need to see the job through. Its 410 hp and 429 lb-ft of torque give the HEMI plenty of low-end power, which is particularly helpful for those investing in the four-wheel drive, off-road-focused Ram 2500 Power Wagon. However, those looking to get the most out of their Ram 2500 will want to test-drive the diesel version. Packed with the sort of power that only a Cummins can provide, the 6.7L inline-six turbo-diesel trades on its torque with 850 lb-ft of pulling power. This sort of torque does come at the cost of horsepower, but most drivers will find the Cummins’ 370 ponies more than adequate for all but the most demanding jobs. Of course, performance is about more than just raw numbers. The Ram 2500 matches its above-average output with a masterfully engineered design that puts an emphasis on handling and responsiveness. The gas-powered pickup allows for some peppy acceleration thanks to its eight-speed automatic transmission, while the diesel––which is paired with a six-speed automatic––is surprisingly smooth through the corners. This is pretty impressive when you consider the extra weight of the diesel engine. Ram has also ensured that all that weight can be safely brought to a stop with a set of overengineered brakes that give the Ram 2500 a solid stopping distance. Powerful Towing and Hauling Full-size trucks like the Ram 1500 might be some of the most popular models on the road, but they can’t match the pure brawn of their heavy-duty cousins. The Ram 2500 and other pickups in the heavy-duty category are designed to handle some of the toughest tasks a driver can throw at them, thanks to their robust frames, beefy engines, and unmatched suspension systems. When optioned with the 6.4L V8, the 2024 Ram 2500 delivers up to 17,730 lbs of towing capacity and an outstanding 4,000 lbs of payload. These numbers put the Ram 2500 towards the top of the heavy-duty pickup class when ranked by their standard gas engines, but those seeking the truck’s most muscular guise should look into the diesel-powered option. The Ram’s 6.7L Cummins turbo-diesel gives the truck 19,990 lbs of towing power and a maximum hauling capacity of 3,150 lbs. The Ram 2500’s towing stats represent a significant improvement over the Ram 1500, which is really noticeable when you start looking at the diesel engine. The 2024 Ram 1500 tops out at 12,750 lbs of towing capacity with its 5.7L HEMI and 2,300 lbs of hauling with its 3.6L V6. While these numbers place the Ram 1500 ahead of full-size rivals like the Toyota Tundra and Nissan Titan, they’re no match for the rugged workhorse that is the Ram 2500. Uncompromised Comfort While other heavy-duty trucks might compromise comfort in the name of performance, Ram has managed to craft a well-balanced pickup that excels in both categories. The Ram 2500 is a clear frontrunner for the title of job site MVP, but the segment has evolved to the point where even heavy-duty trucks need to be able to pull double-duty as reliable family vehicles that prioritize the overall driving experience. A nearly 20,000 lb towing capacity is certainly a nice feature, but it won’t amount to much if a truck’s ride quality, comfort, and convenience aren’t up to par. Ram has kept this fact at the forefront when designing the 2024 Ram 2500. The heavy-duty pickup comes standard with two clever features that go a long way in creating a cozy cabin: acoustic glass and an active noise cancellation system. The acoustic glass in the windshield and front doors isolates you from road noise, turning the Ram 2500’s interior into an oasis of calm on even the busiest street. This feature will come in handy when you’re moving at highway speeds, especially if you’ve upgraded the truck with a set of 35-inch tires. The truck’s active noise cancellation doubles down on this approach, combatting road noise with a high-tech system that uses four microphones to monitor interior sounds and cancel out unwanted frequencies using inverse tones. The Ram 2500’s optional rear air suspension also smooths out all the bumps in the road to provide what many consider to be the best ride quality in the segment. This focus on comfort is an important factor for those considering the Cummins diesel, which outweighs the gas-powered V8. The Ram 2500’s coil-spring rear suspension is more than up to the task, but if you’re in the market for the smoothest ride possible, the air suspension is a must-have addition. Trims for Every Driver With seven trims to choose from, there’s a Ram 2500 out there for every driver and every driving situation. Looking for an economical addition to your fleet of work trucks? The Tradesman is a steal and comes with everything your team will need during a hard day’s work, like an eight-foot bed and Class V receiver hitch. The Big Horn trim is notable for standard conveniences, like power side mirrors, remote keyless entry, and a trailer brake controller, not to mention the Night Edition, which gives the pickup a moody makeover with a blacked-out appearance. The Laramie is where the Ram 2500 starts to show off its luxury credentials. Leather upholstery gives the Laramie an unmistakable premium feel, as do the heated, eight-way adjustable power front seats, auto-dimming rearview mirror, and nine-speaker Alpine audio system. Drivers looking to use their Ram 2500 as an on-the-go office space will appreciate the 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot and 115-volt power outlets that can provide up to 400 watts of juice. The Rebel and Power Wagon are the Ram 2500’s two off-road trims, allowing drivers to confidently navigate even the toughest terrain with the sort of confidence that has made Ram such a popular choice. The Rebel comes standard with all-terrain tires, Hill Descent Control, and an Off-Road Info Pages feature that allows drivers to monitor pitch and roll, traction control, gear shifting, and other data that can make all the difference when exploring the road less traveled. The Power Wagon ups the ante with LED fog lamps, taillamps, and reflector headlamps, but it’s the pickup’s custom off-road suspension, powder-coated bumpers, and locking axles that really make it destined for off-road success. The Ram 2500 Limited Longhorn and Limited pull out all the stops to turn the truck into a true luxury vehicle. Features range from ventilated front seats, rear power-sliding window, upgraded floor console, and 12-inch digital gauge cluster on the Limited Longhorn to 20-inch diamond cut wheels, premium leather upholstery, wood trim, and a specialized grille for the Limited. We’ve Barely Scratched the Surface The 2024 Ram 2500 serves as the ideal showcase for everything there is to love about the heavy-duty pickup segment. The truck’s gas and diesel engines make it a true standout in its class, especially when you consider the towing and hauling possibilities. Ram hasn’t let comfort fall by the wayside when designing the Ram 2500, outfitting the pickup with all sorts of features designed to elevate your daily drive, like acoustic glass, active noise cancellation, and an optional rear air suspension. Seven distinct trims allow drivers to customize the Ram 2500 to fit their unique needs, transforming it from a value-packed work truck to an off-road beast to a sumptuous luxury pickup, depending on which trim you choose. There’s a lot to love about the 2024 Ram 2500, and we’ve barely scratched the surface. If you’re looking to learn more about this one-of-a-kind pickup, stop by Randy Marion Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram today for a test drive.

Keeping your new or used CDJR vehicle in great shape requires maintenance, and each season can cause unnecessary wear and tear on your car, truck, or SUV. As your local CDJR dealer, we want to tell you about some of the seasonal maintenance that will keep your car performing at its best year-round. more Spring Maintenance Now the weather is warming up, it's a good time to check your brakes. When you drive in winter, snow and ice will be thrown up from the road surface. As they melt, they'll leave water behind, and this water can rust parts of the braking system, like the calipers and rotors. A brake service will ensure your brakes are ready for the year ahead. It's also a good idea to service your AC. While spring isn't very hot, a serviced AC will keep you chilled and comfortable if a summer day just feels too hot. Summer Maintenance Summer is here, so it's time to make sure your engine cooling system is working at its best. Your engine operates at a high temperature of between 180 F and 230 F, and on a hot summer day, the temperature under the hood can easily rise over 300 F. Our technicians will check the radiator and other cooling system components, so your engine will breeze through the hot days ahead. Another important item on this season's maintenance checklist is to ensure all your car's fluids are topped up. We'll perform a fluid check, where we draw samples of your CDJR model's essential fluids like coolant, oil, transmission fluid, and others to check their condition. Our technicians will top up any low fluid levels they find. Fall Maintenance In spring, we check your AC, and now fall has arrived, it is time to test and service the heating system so you're ready for winter. This system won't have been used for several months, so it must be ready to keep you warm when you need it. We also recommend checking your tires. Friction with the surface when you drive and the sun's rays in summer can cause extra wear on the tires. Winter Maintenance The most important winter check is to test your battery. A car battery has a relatively limited life of three to five years and then will need replacement. As a battery ages, it becomes less efficient as its electricity storage capacity shrinks. Cold weather can easily cause a weak battery to fail. If your battery passes the test, it's ready for winter. If it fails, we can install a new one for you. These are just a few ways you can prepare your Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, or Ram so you can drive with peace of mind regardless of the season. If you'd like to know more about maintenance, visit us today at Randy Marion CDJR in Wilkesboro, NC.

Engine problems can seem scary, but they can be fixed. As your CDJR dealer in Wilkesboro, NC, we can quickly and efficiently repair any possible problem. These are a few signs that you may need to visit us for a repair. more Engine Blockages The oil in your engine performs a variety of tasks. It lubricates all the engine components, helps to reduce the engine temperature, prevents rust, and breaks down engine deposits. Oil needs to be changed regularly, as it gradually becomes slower and thicker. It also accumulates dirt and other debris, and the old oil can cause blockages. Engine blockages can cause several issues in your engine, including decreased fuel economy, misfiring, and poor acceleration. In addition, problems in the engine will cause your check engine light to illuminate. Our technicians can flush your engine to remove any blockages by adding chemicals to the oil and allowing the chemicals to break down the engine deposits. Once your engine is clean, we'll drain the oil and refill it with new oil. Leaking Radiator A radiator leak can cause major engine trouble, as the radiator is the part of your engine responsible for removing engine heat. Liquid coolant absorbs heat radiating from the engine and transports it to the radiator. Inside the radiator, the heat is removed via heat exchange. Over time, the heat and high pressure in the cooling system can cause wear and tear on the cooling system components. The two radiator hoses, for example, will become less flexible and crack. Rust can develop on the radiator and gradually eat through the metal until coolant leaks out. Cooling system components like the water pump or the thermostat can also fail and prevent the cooling system from working. Our Mopar technicians can easily identify any of these problems and swiftly repair them for you. Poor Acceleration When you step on the gas, your engine should immediately respond. If you experience a delay between hitting the gas and your engine responding, you have a problem with your engine. Delayed engine response can be caused by several different issues, including a blocked fuel filter, a damaged oxygen sensor, or a transmission problem. Sensors in your engine will identify the cause of the problem and report it to your car's computer. The computer will then log the problem and illuminate the check engine light. We'll connect your car's computer to our diagnostic machine, and it will identify the source of the problem.
