Powerful Ram 2500 Diesel Met Expectations, But Did Not Become a Necessity

Review of the Heavy-Duty Ram 2500 Limited Longhorn 2025

The Ram 2500 is a heavy-duty pickup truck built for serious tasks: hauling cargo, towing, and handling work that ordinary cars cannot manage. In this review, we will look at the version with a 6.7-liter Cummins turbo diesel engine, which produces 430 hp and an impressive 1,455 Nm of torque. This allows the pickup to tow up to 9 tons or carry over 1.2 tons in its bed.

However, the main question is how convenient it is to use on a daily basis. Does it truly make work easier compared to other trucks? And what does the driver feel when the workday is over?

Design and Dimensions

The Ram 2500 is a massive vehicle, with a length exceeding 6 meters and a width of almost 2 meters. It looks massive and powerful, with high fenders and a characteristic grille. The power running boards extend automatically, making entry easier, and the bed is equipped with convenient tie-downs, lighting, and power outlets for tools.

Workspace with Elements of Luxury

The interior of this pickup is impressive in its quality. The Limited Longhorn version features leather seats with a thematic design in a “cowboy” filigree style. The center console is equipped with a 14.4-inch Uconnect touchscreen, a 12-inch digital instrument cluster, and an additional screen for the passenger. A high-quality Harman Kardon audio system with 17 speakers makes journeys comfortable.

Performance and Handling

Despite its large size, the Ram 2500 accelerates dynamically thanks to its powerful engine. However, you can’t cheat physics: braking and maneuvering require extra space. The surround-view cameras help with parking, but in urban conditions, the large dimensions can be inconvenient.

During testing, the average fuel consumption was 15.4 miles per gallon (≈15.3 l/100 km), which is a good indicator for such a large vehicle.

Conclusions

The Ram 2500 Limited Longhorn is an ideal choice for those who need serious payload and towing capacity combined with the comfort of a premium car. However, for everyday use in the city, it may prove too bulky. This is a vehicle for those who truly need its capabilities, not just those who want a big pickup.
