The 2024 HD Ram comes in Tradesman, Bighorn, Laramie, Power Wagon, Limited Longhorn, Limited and the new to the 2024 lineup is the Rebel. Ram's powerful 2500 and 3500 Heavy-Duty trucks return for 2024 with more to like than ever before? A 6-speed HD automatic is available in the 3500 paired with the high-output version of the diesel engine that outputs 400 horsepower and an astonishing 1075-pound feet of torque. The 6.4L Hemi V8 gas engine with an output of 410 horsepower and 429-pound feet of torque which is paired with an 8-speed Automatic. The 6.7 Cummins Turbo Diesel has an output of 370 hp, and 850-pound feet of torque and is paired with a 6-speed automatic. The cab and box options are as followed Crew Cab 8' box, Crew Cab 6'4" box, and Mega Cab 6'4" Box. Some trims such as the Rebel are limited to Crew Cab 6'4". When properly equipped max towing of 37,090 and a max payload of 7,680, the Ram HD still puts up big enough numbers to challenge rivals such as the Chevrolet Silverado HD and the Ford Super Duty trucks.
Diesel Rams employ a Ram Active Air intake system that draws more cool air from the front of the truck for more power in hot temperatures or at high altitude.
Ram HDs can be ordered with either rear-wheel drive or 4-wheel drive. In 4-wheel-drive models, a front-axle disconnect system can help improve fuel economy. The Ram 3500 utilizes a Hotchkiss leaf-spring rear suspension, while 2500s have replaced leaf springs with a 5-link coil spring setup. Front suspension is now courtesy of a 3-link system. 2500s can be optioned with heavy-duty air suspension in place of the coil springs, which allow for driver-controlled load-leveling with precise, individual adjustment. Leaf-sprung 3500 dual-rear-wheel trucks with maximum tow packages also feature the air suspension system.
Ram understands that its trucks must last a lifetime. To stand behind them, Ram offers a 5-year or 100,000 miles warranty for diesel powertrains and 5-year or 60,000 miles for the gas powertrain.
On the interior, Ram HD trucks have been reconfigured to provide increased creature comforts. Available amenities include soft-touch instrument panels and door trim, 2-tone upholstery and contrasting stitching. Wood and metal inlays accent the interior and a largest-in-class 12-inch full-color touchscreen display serves as central command for the Ram HD. Heated and ventilated seating and a heated steering wheel are also available. Buyers can choose between bucket seats or a 40/20/40 bench configuration. In either case there's a multi-media port in the center with USB, SD and auxiliary inputs.
Each Ram HD offers a different set of interior appointments and equipment that can be tailored to fit basic work needs or provide a relatively luxurious cabin. Two different UConnect systems with the 12-inch touchscreen are offered both with Bluetooth hands-free connectivity. The top system also provides wireless Internet connectivity, as well as HD Radio and SiriusXM compatibility.

The Rebel 2500 shares much of the Power Wagon's undercarriage, including its three-link live-axle front suspension, five-link coil-sprung rear axle with a limited-slip differential and electronic locker, skid plates, and 33-inch off-road tires. The Power Wagon comes standard with a 6.4-liter V-8 with 410 horsepower, backed by an eight-speed automatic transmission and four-wheel drive.

Also, the Power Wagon's standard 12,000-pound Warn winch is an option on the Rebel. HD Rebel offers a few critical options you can't get on a Power Wagon, including one that is nothing more than legendary, The Cummins 6.7-liter, six-cylinder turbodiesel.
