Morgan Hill Ram - Which 2025 Ram 2500 Engine Is Best for Towing Around Pacific Grove, CA?
Choosing the right powertrain matters when your schedule includes steep grades, changing winds, and frequent trailer hookups. For drivers who tow boats, equipment, or campers around Pacific Grove, CA, the 2025 Ram 2500 offers a diesel-forward solution anchored by heavy-duty hardware and smart, supportive technology.
The available High-Output 6.7L Cummins® Turbo Diesel I6 pairs with a TorqueFlite® HD eight-speed automatic transmission to deliver serious, confident torque and smooth, decisive shifts under load. That combination helps the truck settle into its power band on climbs, hold gears with composure, and reduce the kind of shift hunting that can unsettle trailers. Inside, the Largest-in-Class available 14.5-inch infotainment touchscreen makes it easier to view camera feeds and towing apps, while a Class-Exclusive available 10.25-inch Passenger Interactive Display lets your co-pilot manage navigation without interrupting your primary screen.
We often recommend starting with your heaviest realistic trailer weight, your most demanding route, and how often you tow in a typical month. The diesel’s deep torque is a clear fit for frequent or heavy towing, particularly over grades and at highway speeds. If your routine mixes occasional towing with heavier emphasis on day-to-day commuting or local site visits, talk with our team about tailoring axle ratios, suspension choices, and towing technologies for your expected range of loads.
