New 2017 RAM 2500 at Kernersville Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram for Kernersville, NC

The RAM 2500 is one of the most respected trucks on the road, and customers have a lot to look forward to with the 2017 model. One of the reasons why truck drivers have come to love the 2500 is because of its comfortable ride, which is not often prioritized within the heavy-duty segment. The sophisticated ride is due to the innovative suspension and powertrain construction, but RAM has also prioritized power by offering plenty of power options, including a legendary HEMI engine. The 2017 model has received a number of exciting updates, and two new options for off-road enthusiasts. A 4x4 Off-road Package will equip a number of great features, including Bilstein shocks and tow hooks. Fans will also be excited to see the return of the iconic Power Wagon trim, which not only has an aggressive style but can take on many off-road terrains.
