2025 Ram 2500 Crew Cab Trims Comparison
Trim level differences
The 2025 Ram 2500 is a heavy-duty pickup available in regular cab, crew cab and Mega Cab (a larger crew cab with reclining rear seats) body styles. While the crew cab can be had in every trim level (Tradesman, Big Horn, Laramie, Rebel, Power Wagon, Limited and Limited Longhorn), the regular cab is limited to the Tradesman and Big Horn, while the Mega Cab is Laramie, Limited and Limited Longhorn only. An 8-foot bed is standard with the regular cab and available with the crew cab. A 6-foot-4-inch bed is standard on the crew cab and mandatory with the Mega Cab.
Which 2500 trim does Edmunds recommend?
Ram says that 70% of 2500 buyers opt for the diesel engine, so it seems reasonable to conclude that the truck's maximum capability is important. We also know that high-dollar luxury trim levels tend to be more popular with heavy-duty pickup buyers than in other vehicle segments. As such, we would recommend the Laramie crew cab or Mega Cab with the Cummins diesel option. There aren't many features from the Limited above it that you can't add as options, making for a more customizable truck. (Why pay for stuff you don't want or need?)
