The 2024 Ram 2500 Big Horn with the 6.7L Cummins Turbo Diesel engine and 4x4 configuration offers a blend of powerful towing and hauling capacity, enhanced off-road traction, and a comfortable, technology-equipped interior that balances work functionality with everyday drivability.
Key Benefits
Exceptional Power & Torque: The available 6.7L Cummins Turbo Diesel I6 engine produces 370 horsepower and a substantial 850 lb-ft of torque, providing robust power for demanding tasks. This allows for a maximum towing capacity of up to 19,990 pounds when properly equipped.
Superior Towing & Hauling Capability: Equipped with the diesel engine, the truck handles heavy loads with ease and is ready for trailers right from the factory, featuring a standard trailer wiring harness, Class V towing equipment (hitch, brake controller, trailer sway control), and available features like trailer reverse guidance.
Enhanced Traction (4x4): The part-time four-wheel drive (4x4) system and electronic transfer case provide improved traction and stability, making the vehicle capable and confident across various terrains and challenging road conditions.
Durable & Reliable Build: Heavy-duty suspension, gas-pressurized shock absorbers, and a solid axle rear suspension with coil springs contribute to its rugged durability. The Cummins engine is known for its long life expectancy, often exceeding 200,000–300,000 miles with proper maintenance.
Comfortable Interior: The Big Horn trim upgrades from the base Tradesman with features like cloth seating, remote keyless entry, power windows and door locks, and an overhead console, making the cabin more comfortable for daily use.
Integrated Technology: Standard and available technology features enhance convenience and safety. These include the Uconnect infotainment system with an 8.4-inch or available 12-inch touchscreen display, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, and an available Wi-Fi hotspot.
Safety and Driver Assistance: Key safety features include a ParkView backup camera, ABS, stability control, hill start assist, and available options like the ParkSense front/rear park assist system and Blind Spot Monitoring.
Considerations
Initial Cost: The diesel engine option typically costs more upfront than the standard 6.4L HEMI V8.
Ride Quality (Unloaded): Like most heavy-duty trucks, the 2500's ride can be a bit bumpy when the truck is unloaded, although the coil-spring rear suspension helps provide one of the better rides in the segment.
Diesel Maintenance: Diesel engines often have higher maintenance costs (e.g., DEF systems, fuel filters) and fuel can be more expensive per gallon in some areas, which should be factored in if the truck isn't consistently used for heavy work where the added torque is essential.
