The 2018 RAM 2500 Regular cab is a prominent contender in the fullsize pickup truck segment, competing primarily with the Ford F-250 SuperDuty Regular cab, the Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD Regular cab, and the GMC Sierra 2500 Regular Cab. Prices start off at MSRP $32,545 with the base Tradesmen trim and reach all the way to the top SLT trim carrying an MSRP of $39,545, for a total of 2 trims being offered. With multiple powertrain and cab options available across multiple trims, there is a RAM 2500 for everyone. The 2500 Regular cab offers 3 exciting powertrains, each offered as rear-wheel drive and a 4-wheel drive. The base engine is a 5.7L V8 Gas/CNG mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission, capable of making 383 horsepower and 400 lb-ft of torque.
