Dodge Ram 2500 2010–2019 car dimensions: 6030 mm long, 2010 mm wide and 1974 mm high. Unladen weight is 2,830 kg. Braked towing is 8,156 kg.
The cabin offers manual air conditioning as standard with dual-zone automatic temperature control on higher trims. Cruise control is standard from SLT upward. Touchscreens start as optional 6.5-inch units early on and become available as 5-inch or 8.4-inch systems later, with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto optional from 2018 on the larger screens. Rear parking sensors and a reversing camera are optional or standard depending on trim and year, becoming more common later. Blind-spot monitoring and automatic emergency braking arrive as options in later years of the span.
Crew Cab models provide a choice of 6-foot-4-inch or 8-foot cargo boxes. Rear seats fold for extra in-cab storage space with in-floor bins available.
Maximum braked towing reaches 17,980 lb on properly equipped diesel models in mid-generation years, with payload up to 4,050 lb. Class IV or V hitch receivers are standard along with trailer wiring and available integrated trailer brake controllers. Heavy-duty cooling is included and the 2500 uses a five-link coil rear suspension from 2014 for better loaded ride and handling.
Power Wagon models add locking differentials and a winch for off-road work use. Exhaust brake is standard on diesels to aid downhill control when towing.
Crew Cab feels roomy with solid front leg and head room plus useful rear space and in-floor storage bins. Higher grades bring 10-way power driver seats with memory and lumbar, 6-way power passenger seats, leather, dual-zone automatic climate, and heated ventilated fronts plus heated rears and steering wheel. Power sunroof is optional on Crew Cab. Base trims stay simpler with manual or basic power seats and cloth or vinyl. Cabin gains sound deadening and later acoustic glass on some grades for a quieter ride.
No EPA fuel ratings published for this heavy-duty truck. real-world owner figures commonly sit in the low-to-mid teens mpg depending on engine and load.
Oil-change intervals follow the oil-life monitor. Cummins diesel often listed around 7,500 miles early in the run and up to 15,000 miles later under light duty, HEMI shorter.
NHTSA overall 3 stars for 2010-2012 Crew Cab models (frontal 2 stars). rises to 4 stars overall for 2013-2018.
Standard safety kit includes four-wheel ABS disc brakes, advanced multistage front airbags, supplemental side-curtain airbags, tire-pressure monitoring, and automatic headlights. electronic stability control and trailer-brake controller become more widely standard later.
Fuel use is not rated by EPA on these heavy-duty pickups. Gas HEMI models typically return figures owners report in the low teens combined. the 6.7 Cummins diesel does better, often mid-teens when unladen. Tank size is roughly 31-35 gallons depending on box length. Expect frequent fills when towing or working hard.
Servicing centers on the oil-life indicator. Early Cummins guidance points to 7,500-mile oil and filter changes. later years allow longer intervals up to 15,000 miles or 500 hours under normal use, shorter for severe duty or biodiesel. Fuel filters, air filters, and DEF top-offs (from 2013 diesel) are regular items. Tire rotations and multi-point checks occur with oil services.
Crash results improved mid-run. Early 2010-2012 Crew Cabs scored 3 stars overall with weak frontal ratings. 2013-on models reach 4 stars overall with stronger frontal scores while side remains strong. Standard kit starts with six airbags, ABS discs, TPMS and auto headlights. Trailer brake controller, reverse camera, park assist and later blind-spot or forward-collision aids appear as options or standard on higher grades as the years progress.
Keep the truck by following the oil monitor, changing diesel fuel filters on schedule, and watching DEF levels on post-2012 diesels. Regular brake, suspension and 4x4 inspections matter under heavy loads. Higher-trim leather and power seats need normal care. base vinyl or cloth holds up to work use.
