The 2000 Dodge Ram 2500 is a robust full-size pickup truck. Belonging to the second generation that ran from 1994 until 2002, the 2000 model is recognized for its reliable performance and rugged charm. The truck's available engines range from a 5.9-liter V8 that produces 245 hp to a hefty 8.0-liter V10 that puts out 310 hp. A 5.9-liter inline-six Cummins turbo diesel, producing 245 horsepower and a hefty 505 pound-feet of torque was also available. Depending on the chosen powertrain, a 5-speed manual or 4-speed automatic transmission are offered. Rear-wheel drive comes standard, with four-wheel-drive being optional. Notable features in select trims include available cruise control, an optional infotainment system, and comfortable cloth seating. However, the truck's safety tech is relatively basic, consistent with the era and class. This model of the Ram 2500 has been praised for its towing capacity and off-road capabilities.
