2016 Ram 2500

RUGGED, HEMI-POWERED, WELL EQUIPPED, NONSMOKER, HEAVY-DUTY MUSCLE FOR EVERY JOB! The 2016 Ram 2500 SLT is the heavy-duty pickup for owners who want real capability and everyday comfort in the same truck. Finished in Brilliant Black Crystal Pearlcoat and hovering around the 118,800-mile mark, this four-wheel-drive crew cab pairs a 5.7-liter HEMI V8 and a six-speed automatic transmission with a roomy cloth cabin, an anti-spin rear differential, a Class V hitch with trailer brake controller and a Heavy Duty Snow Plow Prep Group, all backed by a 9,000-pound GVWR. It also arrives with a documented story. CARFAX shows 8 service history records, including dealer maintenance inspections, and at roughly 11,900 miles a year since it was new, this Ram has been driven a little less than the typical truck of its age. With chrome tubular side steps, a chrome grille and bumpers and a 6-foot-4-inch box, this 2500 is ready for the job site, the snow season and the weekend project. WHY SHOPPERS BUY THIS MODEL The Ram 2500 is the heavy-duty pickup for owners who tow, haul and work for a living, and who still want a truck that is comfortable every day. It goes up against the Ford F-250 Super Duty and Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD, and it answers with a strong 5.7-liter HEMI V8, a coil-spring suspension at all four corners and a roomy crew cab. Assembled in Saltillo, Mexico, the 2500 is the one that many owners pick when a half-ton simply is not enough. Everyday ownership is part of the appeal as well. The crew cab seats the whole crew comfortably, the 6-foot-4-inch box keeps the truck easy to park and maneuver, and the SLT brings cruise control, remote keyless entry and Bluetooth so the daily drive stays easy. For shoppers who want serious towing credentials without paying for the top trims, the 2500 SLT remains one of the smartest choices in the heavy-duty class. AUTOMOTIVE PRESS AND INDUSTRY RECOGNITION Industry coverage of the 2016 Ram 2500 highlighted the 5.7-liter HEMI V8's 383 horsepower and 400 lb-ft of torque, paired with a six-speed automatic transmission, along with Ram's published towing and payload ratings for the heavy-duty lineup. WARRANTY The odometer currently reads 118,773 miles. The original Ram factory coverage has expired, so this 2500 is offered on the strength of its condition and history rather than a remaining warranty. Service records reported to CARFAX show maintenance at a Ram dealership, including maintenance inspections in 2018 and 2019, a powertrain control module reprogramming and a transmission replacement with shift solenoid replacement and a transmission fluid change around August 2018. With 118,773 miles on a 2016 model, this Ram has averaged roughly 11,900 miles a year, a little under the typical 12,000 to 15,000, and that steady use is part of its appeal. Extended service plans may be available for buyers who want added peace of mind. STANDARD FEATURES The 2500 SLT is the well-equipped heart of the Ram heavy-duty lineup, so the essentials are built in. It starts with a four-wheel-drive crew cab, a 40/20/40 split bench seat with a fold-up rear cushion, cruise control with steering wheel controls, remote keyless entry, power windows and locks, manual air conditioning and a full instrument cluster with tachometer, voltmeter, oil pressure, coolant temperature, transmission temperature and engine hour gauges. It also layers in the technology that makes a heavy-duty truck easy to live with: a Uconnect 5.0 radio with Bluetooth hands-free calling and audio streaming, SiriusXM capability, a six-speaker audio system, four-wheel disc brakes with anti-lock braking and a full list of airbags and stability systems.
