Looking for a truck that can work as hard as you do around your jobsite? Whether you need the incredible maximum towing capacity for horses and large RVs, or you prefer a lighter-duty truck for daily tasks and tough weekend work, the new RAM lineup has you covered. Read on for a closer look at the 2020 RAM 1500 vs. RAM 2500 comparison with our experts to find out which pickup has the performance and features you need.
The new RAM 1500 introduces an improved EcoDiesel engine for 2020, while the new RAM 2500 has dispensed with the 5.7L V8 HEMI in favor of the 6.4L HEMI V8 and the 6.7L Cummins Turbodiesel as its star engine, capable of 850 lb-ft of torque, among other high-capacity improvements. Here’s what you can expect from the RAM 1500 or 2500 engine options:

Rear-wheel drive is standard on both models, with all-wheel drive 4×4 capability available on higher trims if your job requires extra torque and traction. With the 4×2 option your curb weight will be lower, which will translate to heightened towing and payload capacity.
Certain jobs simply require more power than others. When you need the maximum towing capacity available when you’re working with heavy supply loads or hauling large equipment, the RAM lineup is a go-to for drivers everywhere. Higher towing and payload capacity mean you’ll spend less time transporting with more time getting the job done. Take a look at the specs:

Looking for the highest capability for the lowest price? The 1500 and 2500 price range may help you make the call:
While the RAM 2500 prioritizes power, the 1500 is a bit more well-rounded for everyday driving. For instance, you’ll need to jump up several trim levels in the 2500 to obtain seating for more than 3 passengers. By comparison, the 1500 base trim has space for 5 passengers. Both trucks offer niceties like Uconnect infotainment and RamBox cargo management. Contact your local parts center to find the upgrades and accessories you want for that perfect fit.
