Ram 2500 Heavy Duty Performance Overview
Ram 2500 Heavy Duty performance, across 18 independently verified tests spanning 2012 to 2025, centers on heavy-duty gasoline and diesel pickups balancing mass, gearing, and torque. Early DJ-era results were slower on average, with the 2012 Laramie Longhorn 6.7L Mega Cab running 0-60 in 8.5 seconds before the 2014 Big Horn 6.4L Crew Cab cut that to 7.9. By 2017, the Laramie 6.4L Crew Cab reached 7.7 seconds, reflecting the period’s mix of naturally aspirated 6.4-liter Hemi gasoline V8 and Cummins 6.7-liter turbo-diesel inline-six power, with output in the 350-410 hp range.
The DT generation, launched for 2019, moved the model into a quicker phase, averaging 7.5 seconds to 60 mph versus 8.3 for DJ. The 2019 Tradesman 6.7L Regular Cab set a new mark at 7.2 seconds, and current testing shows the broadest spread of configurations, from Power Wagon and Rebel gasoline models to multiple Cummins diesel Laramie and Limited trims. Today, the quickest recorded Ram 2500 Heavy Duty is the 2025 Laramie 6.7L Crew Cab at 6.6 seconds to 60 mph, while the fastest quarter-mile is the 2025 Limited 6.7L Crew Cab at 15.0 seconds and 90.8 mph. In current form, the line spans gasoline and diesel powertrains with 370-430 hp in tested DT examples.

How we verify Ram 2500 Heavy Duty performance data
Records and averages on this page cover verified production runs only; modified and prototype results are listed by year but never folded into them. We include only independently published road-test results from automotive publications. Manufacturer-claimed 0–60 times are excluded unless clearly labeled. When multiple publications test the same Ram 2500 Heavy Duty trim, each run is listed separately — weather, tires, surface, rollout, and instrumentation all affect results.
