Reviews SummaryFull-size heavy-duty trucks are built with a purpose. Whereas many light-duty trucks are many things to many buyers, heavy-duty pickups do all these things plus tow and haul an incredible amount. This would seem like an incredible challenge; offer all the creature comforts and amenities you might find in a family sedan but with world-beating capability. And yet massive trucks like the 2021 Chevrolet Silverado 3500HD are able to expertly deliver on these day-to-day needs while also being some of the most capable vehicles on the road today. | |
Reviews SummaryRam HD trucks, such as the 2500 and the 3500, may be expensive, but they're invaluable to the owners who need their immense durability. There’s a Ram truck to match the needs of every heavy duty truck buyer, from off-roaders to camping enthusiasts and those who make their living hauling loads across the country. Verdict: The latest Ram 2500 represents a meaningful upgrade to one of America’s most capable trucks, continuing to impress with ever-increasing levels of luxury and refinement. And did we mention its 1,075 pound-feet of torque? | |
