Your Guide to the 2023 RAM 3500

The 2023 RAM 2500 is a seriously heavy-duty pickup truck with a staggering ten tons of towing force. With excellent suspension and visibility features, the latest 2500 is a truck built for challenging off-road adventures, everyday cargo-carrying tasks, and family outings into town alike. The interior is roomy and packed to the rafters with technological driver-assist functionality. Here are five good reasons you're certain to love the 2023 iteration of the RAM 2500. Terrific Towing Power The RAM 2500's 6.7L Cummins Turbo Diesel 16 engine delivers 850 lb-ft of torque, enough for 19,980 pounds of maximum towing capacity. That's enough to tow even large sailboats. And a bevy of sophisticated towing-assist features makes any pulling task even easier. The intuitive Trailer Reverse Steering Control feature gives you greater control over whatever you're towing when reversing, while the Class-Exclusive Auto-Level Rear Air Suspension and Class-Exclusive Link Coil Rear Suspension allow for easier hitching and control on the road. You also have Trailer Brake Status, Trailer Light Check, Tow Specific Navigation, Trailer Tire Pressure Monitoring, and even telescopic trailer mirrors below each window mirror. With the RAM 2500, towing tasks become a breeze. Two Tons of Cargo Capacity The RAM 2500 also has a maximum gas payload of 4,000 pounds in the cargo bed. Whether you're carrying waterskis, motorbikes, camping supplies, bricks, sand, or stacks of gym barbells, you'll be hard-pressed to reach your truck's maximum cargo capacity. Off-Roading Made Easy The RAM 2500 is an off-roader's dream. With optional Bilstein Gas-Charged Monotube Shocks holding your tires to any road surface, you can maintain multi-wheel traction on even the roughest of terrain. An electronic front sway bar for maximum axle articulation further enhances the ease of off-roading, as do sturdy front and rear locking differentials. Adaptive Forward Lighting System Driving after dark is also made safer with the 2500's available Adaptive Forward Lighting System. These powerful long-lasting LED headlights can swivel up to 15 degrees, allowing for a greater scope and accuracy of lighting. Upgraded Digital Rearview Mirror The Digital Rearview Mirror easily switches to show a real-time video stream from a rear-facing camera at the back of your truck any time you need a better view of what's behind you. A new addition has also been made to the rearview mirror: two viewpoints from cameras on the left and right of your trailer. You can even activate Tow Mode on the mirror for a view from the very back of your trailer. See all these fantastic RAM 2500 features in action today at Camp County Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM.

A Fuel-Efficient EcoDiesel V6 With five muscular engines offered with this edition, including an adrenaline-pumping 702-horsepower 6.2-liter HEMI V8, it's tough to choose a favorite, though the 260-horsepower 3.0-liter EcoDiesel V6 is a clear standout when it comes to fuel efficiency. This engine not only offers best-in-class 480 pound-feet of torque but also a best-in-class 4x4 driving range, as it can get an estimated 950 miles before you'll need to refuel. 2. Infotainment With Navigation The vehicle's Uconnect 5 NAV system provides both 3D graphics and split-screen views on its large 12-inch touchscreen. It allows you to access various entertainment options, chart your way to destinations with TomTom GPS navigation, make hands-free calls, and connect both Android and Apple devices to it, among other functions. 3. Luxurious and Comfortable Seats This edition also provides plenty of seating options to suit your tastes and with multiple fabrics and styles available. In addition to the reclining rear seats, which offer eight different reclined positions, there are plenty of unique style combinations available, like the Rebel trim's cloth and vinyl seats that come in black and Ruby Red and the black and Cattle Tan-colored Natura Plus Filigree leather seats that are standard in Limited Longhorn models. 4. A Quick Adapting Cruise Control After choosing your preferred speed, the available Adaptive Cruise Control will aim to keep the vehicle at that speed unless it has to slow down to avoid other vehicles ahead of yours. Once your path is unobstructed again, this system will then accelerate the vehicle to bring you back to the pre-selected speed you chose. 5. A Tailgate With Multiple Functions The 2023 1500's available multi-function tailgate is a unique one that opens in different ways and can be easily dropped with your key fob from a distance with the power-release option. Not only can it hold up to 2,000 pounds when deployed downward, but it also has swing-away doors that are in a 60/40 configuration, so you can open it fully or partially, depending on your needs.

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Your Chrysler has a mini generator called the alternator. The alternator produces all the electrical power for your car's systems. Like any other component, the alternator will eventually become worn or damaged. When this happens, it's time to visit your Chrysler dealer for an alternator repair. We'd like you to know a few of the signs that your alternator could be failing. Illuminated Battery Warning Light An illuminated battery warning light is a sign that something is wrong with your car's electrical system. The key component in this system is the alternator, as it must supply the electrical power your car's systems require. The warning light could also signal other problems like a battery issue, damaged wiring, or blown fuses. The alternator can trigger this warning light if its electrical output drops below a certain level. A healthy alternator produces approximately 14.5 volts. If the alternator is subject to high electricity demand, it should still supply at least 13 volts. If sensors connected to the alternator register a voltage less than 12.5 volts, the alternator is failing and this will trigger the light. We'll examine your electrical system to find the problem and then repair it. Dim and Bright Lights Your headlights require a stable electricity supply to work effectively. If you switch on the headlights and notice they're dim, then become overly bright minutes later, you probably have a damaged alternator. The change in brightness is caused by a low electricity supply, and the main reason for this is a failing alternator. A worn or damaged alternator will produce less electricity than it previously did. As time passes, the electricity supply will drop until the alternator can't supply enough power for all your car's systems. When this happens, your car's computer will shift power from component to component according to demand. Shifting power will cause the light's brightness to change. We'll test the alternator and replace it if necessary. Blown Fuse All electrical components in your car have a fuse. These fuses work identically to the ones in your home. A fuse's job is to protect its connected component from damage due to rogue electrical charges. A rogue charge will strike th​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​e fuse first, and the fuse will blow in response. The blown fuse cuts off its connected component from the electrical system but protects the component from damage. If the alternator fuse blows, the alternator will shut down immediately. When this happens, your car battery will take over and supply power to your car's systems. This is a very short-term solution, as a standard car battery will drain completely in less than an hour. We will test the fuse and replace it if it's blown. Once the fuse is replaced, your alternator will work again. If you think you could have an alternator problem, call us right away at Camp County CDJR.
