The Ram 2500 is available with two engine options — one gas and one turbo diesel. Overall, the gas HEMI engine provides the best gas horsepower among 250/2500 pickups — and more payload capacity than the Cummins — but the turbo diesel outperforms it with mountains of torque and more maximum towing capacity. The Ram 2500 diesel powertrain also comes with additional miles of limited powertrain warranty coverage.
Your toughest jobs don’t stand a chance with the 6.4L HEMI V8 gas engine under the hood. The eight-cylinder HEMI is standard on each 2021 Ram 2500, and it delivers great towing and payload capabilities. Variable valve timing delivers the power you need through a wide torque band, and the multi-displacement system (MDS) with fuel saver technology helps increase highway efficiency.
Maximize your workday with the legendary Cummins turbo diesel engine. Choose the 6.7L turbo diesel engine for the best towing and torque numbers available in a Ram 2500. The Cummins diesel engine sports two fewer cylinders than the HEMI gas engine, but makes up for it with responsive turbocharged performance, low vibration levels, and exceptional capability. The turbo diesel engine costs $9,400 to add to most Ram 2500 trims.
Whether you’re looking to tow or haul, the 2021 Ram 2500 gas and diesel engines have the power to get it done. See the key performance specs for both engines in the following table.
