2016 Dodge Ram 2500 Heavy Duty: Why This Is The Truck For You

There’s no denying that there are plenty of brilliant trucks out there that we can buy. One specific model that should get you excited is the new 2016 Dodge Ram 2500 Heavy Duty.

It’s a truck for people that want something different to the Ford or GM offerings. Ram is such a popular brand that even folks outside the U.S. import them!

Are you thinking of buying a new truck this year? If so, let me fill you in on why you need to buy the 2016 Dodge Ram 2500 Heavy Duty:

RamBox Cargo Management System

Let’s face it; we all need a toolbox with our trucks. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a pickup truck without one in the back! The thing is; the RamBox isn’t just a fancy name for a toolbox.

It’s a lit, secure and durable storage system. Fitted to the side rails of the truck bed, the RamBox is also drainable. For added convenience, one can lock and unlock it remotely using a key fob button! The RamBox features an extender and divider to make it more versatile.

Back Up Rear Camera

When you’re driving a big pickup truck, you’ll seldom see much of what’s going on behind you. That’s why it makes sense to depend on a robust rear back up camera system. The Dodge Ram 2500 Heavy Duty comes with a “ParkView” system. It’s linked to a color display on the dash, making it easy to reverse into spaces.

UConnect with 8.4-inch color display

So, what is the screen like that the back up camera works with? As standard, your new Dodge Ram 2500 HD comes with an 8.4-inch color display. It features the UConnect system and has Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity as standard.

UConnect also comes with Sirius satellite radio. It’s also got some pretty neat apps, such as ones that offer GPS navigation. Who said the latest Dodge Ram trucks can’t feature the latest tech?

6.7-liter Cummins diesel motor

I don’t know about you, but I’m a big fan of the Cummins diesel engines! If you’ve got the cash, I recommend stretching to the 6.7-liter Cummins diesel motor in the Ram truck.

With 370 horsepower as standard, this engine won’t leave you struggling. What’s more, it also offers excellent tuning potential! There’s a video circulating online of a Cummins that sounds like an absolute beast. Check it out!

50 KSI Hydroformed Steel Frame

When you buy a pickup truck, you expect it to work well for almost any load. It’s a good thing, then, that the 2016 Dodge Ram 2500 Heavy Duty has a 50 KSI hydroformed steel frame!

What does that actually mean? In layman’s terms, it means the truck is pretty damn strong!

Trailer Brake Control

Lugging around a trailer with your pickup? The new Dodge Ram 2500 HD has an optional trailer brake control. It gives you the power to automatically control the power brakes on an equipped trailer. You can also manually control it too.

So, what are you waiting for? Go out and buy one today!
