2010 Dodge Ram Heavy Duty Pickup Trucks

Dodge redesigned its heavy duty Ram pickup truck for the 2010 model year. Engine choices remain the same, the standard 5.7L HEMI V-8 and an optional 6.7L Cummins Turbo Diesel, but nearly all of the truck's systems have been updated.

Heavy duty Ram towing capability has increased to 17,600 pounds (a Class IV receiver hitch is standard), with a maximum payload of 5,150. Dodge says the truck's ride has improved, no matter whether it is empty or loaded.

Five trim levels are available, and prices start at $28,165 for the 2500 regular cab ST 4x2 with an 8-foot bed (about $2,000 less than last year's model).
