2024 Ram 2500 Interior Design & Cargo Space
The Ram legacy of luxurious interior design lives strong with the 2024 Ram 2500. What are some of the top reasons you’ll be sure to enjoy the Ram 2500 interior?
Spacious Cab Options — Pick your new 2024 Ram 2500 in one of the three available cab options. The starting point is the three-seat regular cab with 40.9 inches of legroom. Then, there’s the crew cab with 40.9 inches of front legroom, 40.2 inches of rear legroom, and 60.7 cubic feet of cargo space behind the front seats. And finally, the mega cab with 40.9 inches of front legroom, 43.1 inches of rear legroom, and 66 cubic feet of maximum cargo space. Both the crew and mega cabs can seat up to six people.
Genuine Materials — Whether you need your new truck with a work-ready interior or you want a cabin that’s truly luxurious, the Ram 2500 has material choices for you. In the Tradesman® trim, you get rugged work-grade vinyl seats, while the off-road-oriented Rebel® gets leather seats with tire tread-embossed inserts. The Limited Longhorn® redefines truck luxury with 100-percent Filigree leather seats and barnwood interior trim.
Interior Cargo Solutions — When you choose a crew or mega cab Ram 2500, find a variety of thoughtfully designed ways to make use of the interior cargo space.

Also available in crew cab models are covered in-floor storage bins with removable liners. In models with front bucket seats, the large center console provides plenty of storage space for all your valuables.

2024 Ram 2500 Engine & Tow Specs
The heart and soul of any truck is the engine, and the 2024 Ram 2500 offers two different engines worthy of their place under the hood. Go with the standard 6.4L HEMI® V8 paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission for traditional gas power. Or, enjoy the boosted towing capacity and low-end torque that a turbo diesel engine can provide with the available 6.7L Cummins® turbo diesel inline six-cylinder (I6) engine paired with a six-speed automatic transmission. The maximum towing capacity of the 2024 Ram 2500 is 19,900 pounds with the turbo diesel engine. Choose between 4x2 or 4x4 drivetrains for the Tradesman and Laramie® trims; the rest come with standard 4x4 capability.
While the engine is one part of the equation for a hard-working truck, the right suspension is another key component. The Ram 2500 comes with two segment-exclusive suspensions — the standard rear link coil suspension and available auto-level rear air suspension. When you’re towing, stopping for fuel with a large trailer behind you can be a hassle. Stop less often when you add the available 50-gallon fuel tank to your Ram 2500.
