RAM Trucks2500 Regular Cab 2013 - 2016

　　Designed as a heavy-duty pickup contender, the RAM 2500 Regular Cab was, unlike its four-door siblings, the workhorse of the family.

　　RAM introduced the new 2500 lineup in 2013 and placed it between the 1500 and the 3500 lineups. It was a Jack of all trades. Depending on the cabin, it could serve as a family vehicle with a boat attached behind it or as a workhorse. Since the Regular Cab version was the cheapest, naturally, it became a regular tool on construction sites.

　　Like the rest of the range, the Regular Cab was available in a few trim levels. While the lowest version featured black bumpers and front grille, at the other end of the scale was a version fitted with chromed bumpers and grille, alloy wheels, and foglights. The 2013 front fascia featured a new grille layout, with the cross-hair formed by thicker slats that sported the brand's badge. In addition, the quad headlight system featured bi-functional halogen projectors and LEDs for parking lights and turn signals.

　　Inside, RAM installed either a pair of bucket seats or a seat plus a bench seat for two. The middle seat could have been converted by folding down the seatback into a table with three cupholders. On the center stack, the carmaker offered a basic sound system, but that could have been upgraded to an 8.4" infotainment system that could show the image from the rear-view camera mounted on the tailgate's handle. All versions featured column-mounted shifters for the automatic transmission.

　　The 2500's underpinnings featured a newly developed chassis with 8 hydroformed cross-members and high-strength steel. Thus, the RAM 2500 boasted the highest towing capacity. Moreover, the RAM 2500 was offered with a 6.7-liter Cummins turbo-diesel powerplant mated to a six-speed manual. It was the only vehicle in the segment to offer that engine-tranny combo.
