The 2005 Dodge Ram 2500 represents the third generation of this full-sized, heavy-duty pickup designed for hard work and play. It stands out with its strong V8 (gasoline) and inline-six Cummins diesel engines offering mounds of torque. Available with either rear-wheel drive or four-wheel drive, it came with a standard six-speed manual transmission, with a four or five-speed automatic optional. This model was available in various trims: ST, SLT, and the luxurious Laramie. Notable features for the time included dual front airbags, anti-lock brakes, CD player, air conditioning, tilt steering wheel, power door locks and windows, a unique digital information center, and optional GPS navigation.
