2014 Ram Heavy Duty: Smoother And More Versatile

The V8 is a solid choice for those who don't require the stump-pulling torque of the turbodiesel.

It's hard to imagine a task for which a Ram Heavy Duty pickup wouldn't be well-suited for.

The Ram HD also makes a play for day-to-day commuter, a role that last year would have been much more of a stretch from a comfort perspective.

The 2014 Ram Heavy Duty pickups have made significant strides to taming the beast that is their ultra-stiff platform by introducing an air suspension system.

Unlike the Ram 3500, the Ram 2500 delivers a ride that is much closer to a light duty model.

The Ram 3500 shrugged off the 12,000 kilos sitting just behind its bumper.

There's ample luxury to be found inside high trim levels of the Ram Heavy Duty.

This Cummins turbodiesel engine is an impressive 6.7-liter, six-cylinder unit that for 2014 produces as much as 385 horsepower and up to 850 lb-ft of torque

2014 sees the introduction of a dedicated 6.4-liter V8 for Ram 2500 and 3500 series pickups.

Boasting 410 horses and 429 lb-ft of twist, the motor matches the displacement of the eight-cylinder mills found under the hood of Chrysler's high performance SRT models.

Chrysler brought along two Case International tractors strapped to a single trailer that could be tugged, turned, and reversed around a sufficiently wide course.
