Diesel Rams employ a Ram Active Air intake system that draws more cool air from the front of the truck for more power in hot temperatures or at high altitude. The high output engine jumps to 400 horsepower and an astonishing 1075 lb-feet of torque. The Cummins is rated at 370 horsepower and 850 lb-feet of torque at just 1,700 rpm.
The 6.4L Hemi V8 makes 410 horsepower and 429 lb-feet of torque. A 6-speed HD automatic is also available in the 3500 paired with the high output version of the diesel engine.
All gasoline engines are mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission, while a 6-speed automatic handles the additional torque of the diesels. Across the HD range, buyers can choose between a gasoline-fueled 6.4L Hemi V8 and two iterations of a 6.7L Cummins inline 6-cylinder diesel. Although the 2022 models have not yet been run through acceleration tests, the 2019 model in Regular Cab Tradesman configuration with the turbodiesel engine managed the 0-60 mph trial in 7.2 seconds - marginally better performance than its Ford Super Duty rival.Ram's powerful 25 Heavy-Duty trucks return for 2022 with more to like than ever before. Even the default powertrain can manage in excess of 17,500 lbs. Towing up to 20,000 pounds is possible with the turbodiesel engine and the correct towing attachments, besting the GMC Sierra 2500 HD, but not quite managing the 22,800 lbs of the Ford F-250. As such, the Ram 2500 is pretty damn good. Trucks are hardly expected to offer smooth engines that purr in refinement, and heavy-duty haulers such as this are designed to be efficient, functional and hard-working, with the capability to perform - not in terms of acceleration, but in terms of powerful hauling and carrying. Buyers can choose between 4x2 and 4x4 for most trims - only the Power Wagon is 4x4 exclusively as is any trim optioned with the Mega Cab body. The engine options from last year carry over for this model year, namely a 6.4-liter V8 with outputs of 410 horsepower and 429 lb-ft of torque as standard, or a 6.7-liter Cummins turbodiesel inline-six with 370 hp and 850 lb-ft.
