2022 RAM 2500 Snipped

When looking for a rugged truck to get the job done, there are factors, like tow capability, payload, and torque to consider. Another important factor to consider is MPG. You’ll want to be sure your truck is tough enough to handle the job and has enough fuel to complete it.

For drivers in Tunkhannock, Dallas, Harveys Lake, and Kingston, PA, who are curious about the Ram 2500, our team at Tunkhannock Auto Mart has put together a look into the Ram 2500 MPG. We’ve also taken a look at its engine choices and provided steps you can take to maximize your truck’s MPG.

Come on Strong

The Ram 2500 is a workhorse and provides an EPA-estimated 12 city and 18 highway MPG across two beastly engines.

First is the 6.4L HEMI® V8 engine, which comes standard on the Ram 2500. It’s paired with an 8-speed transmission and uses Variable-Cam Timing (VCT) to provide 410 horsepower and 429 lb-ft of torque. With a max towing capacity of 17,540 pounds and a 4,010 payload when properly equipped, this engine has plenty of power to get it done.

Also available on the Ram 2500 is the 6.7L Cummins® Turbo Diesel I6 engine. This powerhouse of an engine is paired with a Corporate 6-speed automatic transmission and delivers 370 horsepower with a stunning 850 lb-ft of torque. It also boasts a max towing capacity of 20,000 pounds and a payload rating of 3,160 pounds when properly configured. It’s perfect for big hauls or for bringing a large trailer for a getaway.

Maximizing Your MPG

With two show-stopping engines, you’ll want to be sure you’re getting the most out of them. To help you do that, we’ve provided a few steps you can take to maximize the fuel efficiency of your Ram 2500.

Keep Steady Speed/to the Speed Limit

Once your vehicle reaches 45 to 50 MPH, it can begin to lose fuel efficiency, which will only get worse the faster it goes. To prevent this, try and keep your truck moving at a constant speed, something a driver-assistive system, like available Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop, can help with.

Check Tire Pressure

Underinflated tires require more effort to get rolling than when properly inflated, which can cause an increase in fuel consumption. Frequently checking your tire pressure can help ensure your truck runs efficiently, as well as reduce wear on your tires.

Keep up with Your Maintenance Schedule

Keeping up with replacing parts, like air filters, spark plugs, and oil can all help improve your fuel economy. Following your truck’s recommended maintenance schedule is a great way to keep up on these and other regular services.

Clear Out Clutter

Extra weight as little as 100 pounds can start to affect your fuel efficiency. While there are some items you’ll want to keep handy in your vehicle at all times, unnecessary items, like forgotten backpacks, extra tools, or sports equipment, can start to add up. Clearing these out can give you some extra miles from your tank.
