Ram is America's truck specialist and that helps explain why Ram is the most honored brand in full-size and heavy-duty trucks over the last five years. Ram is the only lineup of trucks that gives you such an amazing combination of power, performance and comfort. The Ram 1500 is one of the three most popular full-size trucks in the country while the Ram 2500 is a heavy-duty truck that can deliver an even higher level of capability. To help you decide which Ram truck is right for you, let's compare these two powerful trucks that are both available at Troncalli Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram in Cumming, GA.
Ram 1500 engine and performance options

With the 2025 model year, the new Ram 1500 offers a pair of twin turbocharged six-cylinder Hurricane engines that can deliver either 420 or 540 horsepower. The legendary HEMI® V8 engine isn't available in Ram 1500 models, but you can still get a HEMI® V8 with a 2024 Ram 1500 as well as a Cummins turbodiesel and we have 2024 Ram 1500 models available as well.

The other option is a 6.7-liter Cummins turbodiesel that can generate 370 horsepower, 850 pound-feet of torque and an impressive 19,980 pounds of maximum towing capacity.
