2009 Dodge Ram 2500/3500
Dodge more clearly defines its Ram Heavy Duty 2500 and 3500 models for 2009. The 2500 models get the next generation of the 5.7-liter Hemi V-8 engine. It is now rated at 355 hp (up from 345) and 395 lb.-ft. of torque (up from 375). The only transmission with the Hemi engine is a 5-speed automatic; the 6-speed manual has been dropped. The 2500’s off-road-oriented Power Wagon option package is now available only for the Quad Cab; previously, it could also be ordered with the regular cab.
In the 3500 lineup, all models now come only with the 350-hp, 6.7-liter Cummins Turbo Diesel V-8 engine; the gasoline Hemi V-8 engine is no longer offered. The Cummins diesel delivers 610 lb.-ft. of torque with the available 6-speed manual transmission and a whopping 650 lb.-ft. of torque with the available 5-speed automatic transmission. Remote engine starting is newly offered for the diesel when equipped with the automatic transmission.
All Dodge Ram 2500 and 3500 models for 2009 get larger brake rotors with twin-piston calipers and a new name for Dodge’s MyGIG hard-drive radio and navigation system. It is now called UConnect GPS, and its hard drive grows from 20 to 30 gigabytes.
