The Limited Longhorn equips the premium Alpine system and adds GPS navigation and HD Radio. The Power Wagon keeps the upgraded Uconnect 5 system and large screen, but only has a total of six speakers. The Laramie gains a ten-speaker Alpine sound system featuring a subwoofer. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are also standard from this trim, as are SiriusXM, Wi-Fi capability, and various subscriptions to radio, traffic, and travel interfaces. This year, all trims from the Big Horn and up offer a larger 8.4-inch display with the new Uconnect 5 software it looks less dwarfed in the massive cabin of the Ram 2500. This is paired to a four-speaker sound system on the Regular Cab (six speakers on other body styles), and comes standard with integrated voice commands, Bluetooth, two USB ports and an auxiliary jack input up front, and a few more USB charging ports in the rear. Standard fare in terms of infotainment on the entry-spec Tradesman is also quite basic, with a five-inch touchscreen display off which the Uconnect 3 system runs. These useful, lockable cubbies are also drainable and feature LED lighting, a 115-volt outlet, and even remote access, enhancing the utility of the Ram 2500 even further. The RamBox Cargo Management System is also available, which consists of dual storage bins inside the length of the load bed. The center console bin is large and can hold your files, notebook computer, or lunchbox, and Mega Cab models provide two additional boxes behind the rear seats for safe storage of larger items. The Ram's commodious cabin is not just about spacious head and legroom, offering considerate nooks and crannies for small items throughout. Depending on power- and drive-train, as well as your chosen body style, the Ram 2500 can carry up to 4,380 pounds worth of payload on the back. On the eight-foot box, the length is 98.3 inches, providing a grand total of 74.7 cubes for cargo. The shorter 6'4" bed's specs include a length of 76.3 inches and a width of 66.4 inches, and, at a hair's breadth over 20 inches in depth, translates to a total of 57.5 cubic feet of cargo-carrying capacity.

And, with numerous available configurations, there's a whole range of figures to pay attention to.

As the crux of the matter with trucks pertains to their ability to haul your goods around, load box size and cargo space is paramount.
