Dodge trucks 3.5 to 12 t (class N2) – collective page of heavy US pickups from the Ram range and the older D-series: 2500 to 5500, engines from 54 to 261 kW with up to 10 cylinders, gross weights up to 11.4 t

The EU vehicle class N2 covers trucks from 3.5 to 12 t gross vehicle weight; this page is a collective page built from registration data (Netherlands, Finland) bundling every Dodge range recorded in that class. Dodge was founded in 1900 by John and Horace Dodge in Detroit and belonged to Chrysler from 1928; the heavy pickups carried the D-series designation into the 1990s (D250, D350, D500), after which the Ram name took over, run since 2010 as the standalone brand Ram Trucks. The register is dominated by 2500 and 3500 versions with diesel and petrol engines, up to Crew Cab and Dually variants with twin rear wheels.

The register lists 140 versions with outputs of 54 to 261 kW across 4 to 10 cylinders and displacements of 2,680 to 8,000 cm³ – the upper figure matching the V10 unit of the Ram range. Kerb weights range from 2,270 to 8,780 kg, gross vehicle weights from 3,505 to 11,380 kg, width from 1,870 to 2,550 mm, length from 4,622 to 10,460 mm.

As a truck class derived from pickups, the Ram 2500/3500 range competes directly in North America with the Ford F-250/F-350 and Chevrolet Silverado HD; in Europe these vehicles are mainly imports and conversion platforms for motorhomes, horse transporters and heavy trailer tow vehicles.

On a used example, what matters on the diesel engines – inline-six Cummins units on the heavy versions – is the injection system and turbocharger; on all versions frame corrosion, brakes and the condition of the tow hitch; on imported vehicles additionally the completeness of individual type approval and any left-hand-drive conversion. Spare parts usually run through specialised American-car dealers.

What to check before buying

  • Check the hour meter against the service records — a replaced instrument is the most common gap.
  • Compare the data plate and chassis number with the papers.
