You see these three numbers in a Dodge Ram model frequently: 1500, 2500, and 3500. Maybe you can say that these are some sort of power levels, but these are actually the three variants of the Ram. In plain sight, there are only a few distinctions, so what’s up with the numbers?

Think of these variants as the Three Bears: Ram 1500 is the little bear, Ram 2500 is the mother bear, and Ram 3500 is the big papa bear. Car enthusiasts say the main difference lies within its ability to carry cargo, with the 3500 excelling in the field the best. Dodge divvies the Ram into 3 variants for car buyers to get only the variant they need. Here is a closer look at the features of the members of the Ram family.

Ram 1500: The most basic of the three, the Ram 1500 is designed for normal cargo like bags and vacation gear. This 1/4-ton pickup truck can carry or tow loads of as much as 4,750 kg or more than five short tons. In other words, you can carry a Class IV trailer weighing less than 5 tons and still have room for other gear.

Ram 2500: Towing and cargo capacity steps up with the half-ton Ram 2500 pickup truck. With a towing capacity of 7,031 kg or nearly eight short tons, the Ram 2500 is ideal for utility and other hardware companies. Ladders, machines, and some heavy equipment can be carried or towed by the Ram 2500.

Ram 3500: The Edmonton Dodge Ram 3500 takes it up a serious notch with its towing capacity of 10,319 kg or a little over 11 short tons. In fact, its vast towing capacity required an extra pair of rear wheels to be installed, making the Ram 3500 a six-wheeled pickup. Some of them have been modified to carry a utility basket instead of a small flatbed, notably medical crews. Think of the Ram 3500 more as a gun tractor than a one-ton pickup truck.

Regardless of the things you have to carry, the Edmonton Ram 1500, 2500, and 3500 can take the sheer weight. The difference in power among the three Ram variants lets the pickup truck adapt to various situations. It’s the multipurpose ram any person or firm will need.
