What’s the top speed for the Dodge Ram 2500?
We want to buy our teenage son a used Dodge Ram 2500 for his first truck, but we’re a little concerned about giving a kid a truck that’s too powerful. What’s the top speed?

You’ll be happy to know the
Dodge Ram 250
wasn’t built for speed. That said, the truck can still get up to dangerously high speeds, and the Dodge Ram 2500’s top speed is around 120 mph in optimal conditions. It’s important to note that Dodge and Ram split in 2009, so any Ram trucks produced after that year are not part of the Dodge brand.
To help you decide on your son’s truck, here are some specs for the 2009 Dodge Ram 2500.
- Base engine size: 5.7-liter
- Horsepower: 383 hp at 5,600 rpm
- Torque: 500 lb-ft at 4,000 rpm
- Max towing capacity: 13,050 lbs
- Max payload capacity: 2,060 lbs
