The Dodge RAM 2500 Mega Cab is a model in the RAM series. Production: 2007. The engine delivers 259 kW, has 8 cylinders, with a displacement of 6,700 cm³. The machine is 6,300 mm long and 1,960 mm wide. The unladen weight is 3,510 kg. The gross vehicle weight is 4,083 kg. The RAM series covers 273 models. Rated output within it ranges from 109.4 to 523 kW; the RAM 2500 Mega Cab sits in the lower part of that range with 259 kW. Its immediate neighbours are the RAM 2500 LARAMIE below it with 258 kW and the RAM 3500 MX38A QUAD CAB PICK UP-4X4/359 above it with 260 kW. Unladen weight within it ranges from 2,114 to 5,060 kg; here the RAM 2500 Mega Cab sits in the middle of that range with 3,510 kg. 1343 Dodge models across 29 series are on record.

RAM 1500, 2500, 3500 — the number is a payload in pounds

The figures 1500, 2500 and 3500 are not model names but a legacy of measurement: they originally denoted payload in American pounds. The principle has held — the higher the number, the greater the payload. In kilograms, a 1500 carries around 700 kg, a 2500 about 1,200 kg and a 3500 roughly 1,700 kg.

The difference is not only on paper, though. Axles, transmissions and frame are consistently stronger on the 2500 and 3500 than on the 1500. That explains why the 1500 is regarded as a comfortable everyday vehicle and the heavy models as working tools — they share a name, not a substance.

The engines divide the range too. The 6.7-litre Cummins six-cylinder turbodiesel is available only in the 2500 and 3500; it was never offered in the 1500, nor was the 6.4-litre HEMI. The HEMI name denotes no series but a combustion chamber shape: hemispherical, a design feature of Chrysler V8s for decades.

Anyone assessing a vehicle should therefore read model year and engine together. For the 2025 model year the HEMI V8 in the regular 1500 range was replaced by Hurricane-family inline sixes of up to 540 hp — the same type number, a fundamentally different machine.
