About This 2024 RAM 2500 Big Horn

2024 RAM 2500 Performance and Engine

The Legendary Cummins 6.7L Turbodiesel

This truck is powered by the engine that built RAM's heavy-duty reputation: the Cummins 6.7L I6 Turbodiesel. In its 2024 configuration, this inline-six diesel produces up to 370 horsepower and a staggering 850 lb-ft of torque — figures that translate directly into real-world capability when you're pulling heavy loads up Highway 99 grades or towing a fifth-wheel trailer across flat Valley farmland. Paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission, power delivery is smooth and linear, and the gearing is well-matched to both highway cruising and low-speed towing situations.

4WD Capability for California Terrain

The 4WD drivetrain gives this RAM 2500 genuine all-terrain versatility. Whether you're navigating muddy ranch access roads east of Chowchilla, venturing into the Sierra Nevada foothills, or managing wet-weather conditions on rural two-lanes throughout Madera County, the four-wheel-drive system provides confidence that a 2WD truck simply can't match. The heavy-duty front and rear axles on the 2500 platform are also rated for significantly higher payload and towing capacity than a half-ton truck, making this the right tool for serious work.

RAM 2500 Features and Interior

Big Horn Trim — The Working Professional's Standard

The Big Horn trim level on the RAM 2500 delivers a well-rounded package that doesn't ask you to sacrifice comfort for capability. Inside the Crew Cab body, four full-sized doors and a spacious rear seating area mean this truck can carry a full crew to the job site without anyone feeling cramped. Expect features including an 8.4-inch Uconnect touchscreen infotainment system, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration, a rear backup camera, Bluetooth connectivity, and RAM's signature rotary gear selector for clean interior design. The Big Horn also includes chrome exterior badging, fog lamps, and RAM's heavy-duty trailer tow package provisions — the practical features working truck owners actually use every day. The Crew Cab configuration is one of the most popular choices among buyers in agricultural and construction industries throughout California's Central Valley. The extra interior room makes long days behind the wheel genuinely comfortable, and the rear seat area can double as a mobile office when needed.

RAM 2500 Reliability and Ownership

The RAM 2500 with the Cummins diesel engine consistently ranks among the most reliable heavy-duty trucks on the market. The Cummins 6.7L powerplant has an outstanding long-term reputation — diesel engines of this type routinely accumulate 300,000 to 500,000 miles with proper maintenance, and the 2500 platform's heavy-duty frame, suspension, and axle components are engineered for years of hard use. RAM's 2024 model year benefits from years of refinement in the third-generation body style, with improved electronics, better NVH (noise, vibration, and harshness) control, and updated safety features. Owners of the RAM 2500 Cummins diesel consistently report strong satisfaction with towing performance, fuel economy relative to horsepower output, and long-term durability. At 15,247 miles, this truck has barely started its working life. Routine maintenance — oil changes with the appropriate diesel-spec oil, fuel filter replacements, and DEF fluid monitoring — is straightforward and widely supported at service centers throughout California.
