Is the 2024 RAM 2500 available with a diesel engine in Canada, and what is its towing capacity?
Yes, the 2024 RAM 2500 is offered in Canada with the 6.7L Cummins turbocharged diesel producing 370 hp and a massive 850 lb-ft of torque — the highest-torque diesel engine in its class. This powertrain allows the RAM 2500 to achieve a maximum conventional towing capacity of 9,979 kg (22,000 lb), or 14,969 kg (33,000 lb) in fifth-wheel configuration. The MSRP for the diesel 2500 starts around $62,295 for the Tradesman 4x4 trim. For Prairie farmers, heavy construction contractors, or Alberta ranch owners who regularly tow agricultural semi-trailers or timber loads, the RAM 2500 Cummins is the benchmark for sheer towing capability. Combined fuel consumption in active towing use is estimated between 15 and 18 L/100 km depending on load, with the 121-litre tank providing adequate practical range.
