Established in 2009, the Ram Truck brand has consistently been a pioneer in its field. Its unique combination of unrivaled performance, rugged durability, supreme comfort, and cutting-edge technology sets the Ram Heavy Duty apart, as it enters its fifteenth year of leaving its competitors in the dust. As new details about the 2024 Heavy Duty models begin to surface, our anticipation for the future of Ram has only intensified.
Firing On All Cylinders
The introduction of the new Heavy Duty Rebel in 2023 marked the arrival of a standard Power Wagon that boasted remarkable capacity for towing and payload-hauling. The Rebel was able to maximize the potential of its Cummins Turbo Diesel engine, which returns as a choice for the 2024 Ram Heavy Duty. All engine options include:
- 6.4-liter HEMI V-8 delivers 410 horsepower at 5,600 rpm and 429 lb.-ft. of torque at 4,000 rpm – and features variable-valve timing (VVT) with Fuel Saver Technology cylinder deactivation
- 6.7-liter Cummins Standard-Output Turbo Diesel produces 370 horsepower and 850 lb.-ft. of torque (Ram 2500 and 3500)
- 6.7-liter Cummins High-Output Turbo Diesel produces 420 horsepower and 1,075 lb.-ft. of torque (Ram 3500)
The Heavy Lifter
Year after year, the Heavy Duty’s capacity for managing increasingly substantial towing and payload capacities exhibits consistent growth. The latest update from Ram lists the projected capability metrics for the 2024 Heavy Duty models as follows:
- Towing – Up to a 37,090 pounds with Ram 3500
- Towing – Up to 20,000 pounds with Ram 2500
- Payload – Up to 7,680 pounds with Ram 3500
- Power – 410 horsepower and 429 lb.-ft. of torque with 6.4-liter HEMI® V-8 engine
It’s remarkable to observe the continually exceptional off-road performance of the Ram Heavy Duty – especially the off-road-focused Rebel – given its uplift in towing and hauling capabilities. The presence of a 12-inch infotainment touchscreen at the heart of the dashboard acts as an exceptional navigation aid and off-road companion.
The Ram 2500 also offers two unique rear suspensions: a five-link coil system and an air suspension system. Meanwhile, the 3500 boasts a unique additional air suspension system.
A Variety of Options
From the luxurious Laramie to the powerful Big Horn, the Ram Heavy Duty line has successfully responded to the diverse needs of its drivers. The 2024 Ram Heavy Duty will come available in seven unique trims, including the aforementioned Rebel. Those seven trims are:
- Big Horn/Lone Star
- Laramie
- Limited
- Limited Longhorn

- Rebel
- Tradesman
