Unchanged from the previous year, this engine is equipped with variable valve timing to give it the most possible power available.

An optional diesel engine is available for the Ram 2500 regular cab and the Ram 2500 crew cab. The larger engine gives it even more power: the 6.7 liter diesel HEMI inline 6 engine with Common-Rail Direct Injection (this engine is standard in the Ram 3500). This engine kicks in 350 horsepower and a hefty 650 foot pounds of torque. The 2500 comes fitted with a standard 5 speed transmission, but an optional 6 speed transmission is available.
Automotive critics rave about the Dodge Ram 2500. They almost all note the impressive power of its engine, but some, such as Edmunds.com, point out that the 2500 has a fantastic ride and a newly redesigned interior, making it the preferred truck in its class. To give you an idea how good this truck is, the only bad thing about it mentioned by Edmunds is the controls on the radio.
