And yet as it's performing all that grunt work, the big Ram coddles its passengers in the upper trim levels with a handsome cabin furnished with high-quality materials.

With prodigious power from a gasoline- or diesel-powered engine, it's no surprise that the 2013 Ram Heavy Duty has stellar hauling capability. But the Ram HD also impresses in everyday driving. We were impressed with these trucks' ride comfort, overall refinement, and relatively quiet interiors.

Clearly, then, there's something for everyone on the new Heavy Duty Ram. It looks better; it's got more features; it's got more power; and it can tow and haul more than ever before.

The Ram 2500 takes a page out of the Ram 1500's playbook by offering the best interior among all pickups.
- Edmunds.com, CarsDirect
Compared to its 2013 Chevy Silverado 2500HD and 2013 Ford F-250 rivals, the 2013 Ram 2500 finds itself essentially evenly matched in terms of capability and ruggedness. But considering that it has the newest design along with arguably the most attractive styling and upscale interior, the Ram could very well take the title belt.
