Ram Heavy Duty FAQs
Why do towing and payload numbers vary so much?
Ratings change based on cab/bed, axle ratio, drivetrain, wheels/tires, and equipment. Some max tow figures assume a 2WD regular cab configuration and may be based on gooseneck/5th-wheel setups rather than conventional bumper-pull towing.
Cummins diesel vs. 6.4L HEMI gas: which is better?
Cummins® is the go-to for sustained heavy towing and long-haul torque. The 6.4L HEMI® can offer strong payload value in many real-world builds, making it a great fit for service bodies and bed payload needs.
Can I buy a Ram 3500 dually from out of state?
Yes — we specialize in out-of-state sales. We can help coordinate title/registration and offer free Spokane (GEG) airport shuttles so you can fly in and drive your new truck home.
What is the link-coil rear suspension on the Ram 2500?
The Ram 2500's rear suspension design improves ride quality and handling compared to traditional setups when unloaded, while still supporting heavy towing when properly equipped.
