Which 2500 is the Best?
If you're considering buying a heavy-duty pickup, you're undoubtedly motivated by the need to tow or haul a heavy load, and the 2020 Ram Heavy Duty is more than capable of handling the needs of the average heavy-duty truck buyer. While its powertrains are on par with the offerings of Ford and GM, Ram has carved out a niche for itself by offering upscale designs inside and out, with a variety of attractive exterior bits and interiors deserving of the luxury truck designation, especially in the upper trim levels. Whether or not you're loyal to a specific brand, as most full-size truck buyers are, the new Ram is worth a look. Find a Ram 2500 for sale or Find a Ram 3500 for sale
