2022 Ram 2500 Review

Name: 2022 Ram 2500 Review
Brand: Ram

Price Range: $28,000 - $69,590

Ram 2500 Big Horn Crew Cab Pickup Exterior

The 2022 Ram 2500 has plenty of high-tech features, a stout towing capability, and one of the nicest interiors on the market for a heavy-duty truck. There are a couple of minor downsides, such as a suboptimal driving position and a noisy diesel engine. In the end, though, the Ram 2500 is one of our favorite trucks on the market, and we'd absolutely recommend a test drive.

Safety

Our experts like the 2500 models:

Adaptive Forward Lighting System: This available feature turns the LED headlights up to 15 degrees in the direction the driver steers to improve visibility at night.
Digital Rearview Mirror with Tow Mode: Uses a camera to show an unobstructed view of what's behind the truck on the rearview mirror display. When towing, the system uses a camera mounted to the trailer.
Forward Collision Warning with Active Braking: Warns the driver when a collision might occur and, if the driver takes no action, applies the brakes to prevent or mitigate a crash.
