Which Ram truck is enough for you? The new Ram 1500 and Ram 2500 are two of our most popular options at Port Jeff CDJR. We'll give you a quick rundown of each option so you can compare the models and decide which truck is best for you. Let the games begin.
Power and Towing Capability

Ram 1500
Your light-duty Ram 1500 is true to its name. With a trio of engine options and a variety of trims, you'll have plenty of combinations to choose from. When properly equipped, you'll have a max towing capacity of 11,580 pounds and payload support of up to 2,300 pounds. That's enough power to pull a four-wheeler, carry mulch/landscaping equipment, pull a stalled vehicle to a repair garage in Patchogue, and more.
Engine Options
- 3.6-liter Pentastar® V6 with Hybrid system with 305 horsepower
- Hurricane Twin-Turbo I6 with 420 horsepower
- High Output Twin-Turbo I6 with 540 horsepower
Ram 2500
When you need more than typical, you go for atypical-the Ram 2500 offers more towing power and payload capabilities for your business needs. When properly equipped with the Diesel engine, the Ram 2500 can pull up to 20,000 pounds. However, if you want more payload support, the gas-powered model delivers 4,420 pounds of payload support in Smithtown.
Engine Options
- 6.4-liter HEMI® V8 with 17,150 Pounds Max Towing
- High-Output 6.7-liter Cummins® Turbo Diesel I6 with 20,000 Pounds Max Towing

Off-Road Features

Ram 1500
The Ram 1500 is built to go off-road. The available Black Hawk® e2 Shock System, improved suspension, front and rear tow hooks, and selectable drive modes are unlocked with the RHO.

Ram 2500
Ram HD trucks come with heavy-duty four-wheel disc antilock brakes for max stopping power. That's key, especially when you're pulling tons of weight around the city. The class-exclusive Link Coil rear suspension will smooth out your ride, and the available fifth-wheel/Gooseneck towing package allows you to maximize your towing prowess. The Power Wagon trim features Bilstein® gas-charged Monotube Shocks, a rear locking differential, a class-exclusive electronic locking front differential, a front sway bar disconnect, and an available WARN® ZEON-12 Winch.
