How do I Compare Heavy Duty Dodge Trucks?

Heavy duty pickup trucks such as this one vary in engine size and strength.

Buying a heavy-duty Dodge truck requires careful consideration and a thorough investigation of each truck's physical specifications.

Things You'll Need

• Computer

Instructions

1. Visit Dodge's official site.

2. Use the drop down menu labeled "Vehicle Lineup" in the top left to scroll down and select "Ram Trucks." Though Dodge makes the mid-size Dakota, it is not considered a heavy duty truck because of its frame and engine size and towing capacity.

3. Select either "Ram 1500," "Ram 2500 & 3500" or "Ram Chassis Cab" to view the vehicle specifications for each model. The 1500 is Dodge's smallest full-size truck. The frame and engine size and towing capacity increases slightly between the 1500 and 2500 and again to the 3500. The Ram Chassis Cab is the cab and engine of a full-size 2500 or 3500 with no flatbed. Instead, the Ram Chassis Cab has bare space onto which you can install a box compartment, towing rig or other chassis attachment.

4. Analyze the engine size, frame size, available additions and cost of each vehicle to identify the best heavy duty Dodge truck for you.
