2016 Ram 2500
There are a number of challengers to the Ram these days, but few can match the level of features offered in this powerhouse truck. From varying cabin designs to amazing towing and hauling, the Ram still leads the way.
In terms of technology, the level of features and options is nothing short of mind-boggling. The Ram comes in three cab styles (two-door regular cab, four-door crew cab, and four-door Mega Cab) and seven trim levels.
Tradesman Trim
This basic trim level is available on all three cab styles and delivers automatic headlights as well as six-speaker stereo system inputs for both USB and auxiliary audio. It comes with power windows and locks and power heated mirrors on the crew cab models.
SLT Level
The SLT level of trim is also available for all three cabs and offers all of the Tradesman features plus integrated trailer brakes, power heated mirrors, a power sliding rear window, keyless entry, Bluetooth connectivity, full power accessories, and a 5-inch touchscreen infotainment interface with satellite radio tuners.
Big Horn Trim
This trim level and above is only available with the crew and Mega Cab configurations. It offers the standard features plus fog lights, remote start, a 115-volt power outlet, astounding 10-way power driver seat with lumbar support, and steering wheel-integrated audio controls.
Outdoorsman Trim
Available only on the four-wheel drive crew cab, this trim adds a few features to the Big Horn, including auto-dim and power fold exterior mirrors, puddle lights, an 8.4-inch touchscreen interface with SD card slot, an integrated 7-inch color driver info center instrument cluster, and Uconnect subscription access which offers Wi-Fi, voice-to-text messaging, and emergency roadside assistance.
Laramie
The Laramie trim level again builds on the above by adding projector headlights, LED taillights, parking sensors, a rearview camera, automatic climate control, a six-way power adjust driver seat, driver memory settings, a 10-speaker surround sound audio, heated and ventilated front seats, and the Outdoorsman level infotainment system and exterior mirrors.
Laramie Longhorn
This level adds even more to the Laramie, including remote start, a full center console, power adjust pedals, heated back seats, navigation, and HD radio tuner.
Laramie Limited
Another enhancement to the above, this includes all of the Laramie and Longhorn features but adds automatic high beams and wipers as well as keyless entry and ignition.
Power Wagon Trim
This package is the ultimate off-roading trim level and available only on crew-cab four-wheel drive short-bed V8 configuration. In addition to a rugged physical package, it offers electronically locking differentials, power front winch, hill descent control, and electronic antiroll bar.
Best of all, the majority of the upper level trim features are available at lower levels as individual options, allowing you to build your ideal truck from the ground up.
