Let’s get a little more specific. A regular cab, two-wheel-drive Ram 2500 with the gas V8 starts around 6,000 pounds. Add a crew cab and four-wheel drive, and you’re looking at 7,500 to 8,000 pounds. Go for the diesel? Expect at least 500 extra pounds, because that engine is a chunky workhorse.
Want to know the heaviest version? That’s the Mega Cab with the Cummins diesel, tipping the scales at nearly 8,700 pounds. That’s heavier than a GMC Sierra 3500 from a few years ago. It’s like comparing a gorilla to a gorilla with a backpack full of rocks.

Is It a “Ton Truck”? Not Exactly
People often call the Ram 2500 a “three-quarter ton” truck, but that’s a historical term. It actually refers to its payload capacity, not its weight. So even though the truck weighs 7,000 pounds, it can carry another 2,500 to 3,000 pounds in the bed and cab. That’s like having a second truck riding on top of the first one—but legally.
