The 2017 RAM 2500 Crew Cab is a prominent contender in the fullsize pickup truck segment, competing primarily with the Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD Crew Cab, the Ford F-250 SuperDuty Crew Cab, and the GMC Sierra 2500HD Crew Cab. Prices start off at an MSRP of $35,945 with the base Tradesman trim and reach all the way to the top Limited trim carrying an MSRP of $61,275, for a total of 7 trims being offered. With multiple powertrain and cab options available across multiple trims, there is a RAM 2500 for everyone. The RAM 2500 Crew Cab offers 3 exciting powertrains, each offered as both a rear-wheel drive and a 4-wheel drive. The base engine is a 5.7L V8 capable of making 383 horsepower and 400 lb-ft of torque. This engine is rated for a towing capacity of 13,520 pounds.
