Why Buy a Ram 2500 From Antioch CDJR?
We combine deep product knowledge with transparent pricing and customer-first service. Our specialists will walk you through payload and towing capacity, recommend factory tow packages, and explain the real-world impact of option choices like axle ratios, rear gearing, and cooling upgrades. Financing is handled in-house through our finance center and via regional lending partners — or you can get pre-qualified online before you visit. We also assist with upfits and accessory installs so your Ram 2500 arrives ready for jobsite duty or recreational towing.
Towing, Diesel Power & Performance
Ram 2500 trucks are engineered for heavy towing and sustained performance. If your priority is towing large campers, horse trailers, or heavy equipment, diesel engine options deliver stronger torque and better sustained towing performance. We'll help you compare gas vs. diesel tradeoffs — fuel economy, maintenance intervals, and towing capacities — and recommend factory or dealer-installed tow packages that include features such as integrated trailer brake controllers, trailer sway control, and upgraded cooling systems.
Comfort & Tech for Long Hauls
Long days on the road don't mean sacrificing comfort. Many Ram 2500 trims offer premium interiors with ventilated/heated seating, advanced Uconnect infotainment with smartphone integration, and driver assistance tech like adaptive cruise, surround-view cameras, and blind-spot monitoring with trailer detection. We'll demo features so you can see how they improve hitching, maneuvering, and long-distance driving.
Commercial & Fleet Buyers
We support commercial purchasers with tailored ordering, fleet incentives, and maintenance plans. If you need multiple units or specialized upfits (service bodies, bed racks, tool storage), our commercial team will coordinate factory orders and trusted upfitters to deliver reliable, job-ready trucks. Ask about telematics and scheduled maintenance packages that help keep trucks on the road longer.
