For those who make their living along the waterways and industrial hubs of southern Louisiana, a truck is more than just transportationâ€"it is a vital tool. Imagine starting your morning in Houma, LA, where the humidity hangs thick over the bayou, and you need a vehicle that handles the heavy lifting of the maritime and oil industries without breaking a sweat.

Whether you are moving equipment through the coastal plains or navigating the bustling docks of Morgan City, LA, this Bright White Clearcoat powerhouse is designed to be the most reliable member of your crew.

Performance & Capability

At the heart of this heavy-duty machine is the legendary Cummins High Output 6.7L I-6 diesel direct injection engine. This intercooled turbo diesel powerplant delivers a formidable 430HP, providing the raw strength necessary for the demanding terrain of the Mississippi River Delta. Paired with the 8-Speed TorqueFlite HD Automatic Transmission, the power delivery is smooth and controlled, featuring a Lock-up transmission and Overdrive to optimize efficiency during long stretches on the highway.

The Four Wheel Drive system is a part-time 4WD setup with an Electronic transfer case shift, ensuring you have traction when the coastal roads turn slick or when you find yourself on a muddy job site. The chassis is built for durability, featuring an Iron engine block and a Heavy-duty ride suspension. Both the front and rear utilize a Rigid axle suspension with a Multi-link design, offering a stable platform regardless of the payload in the 8-foot bed. To help manage heavy loads, the truck includes an Engine retarder system and a Transmission fluid temperature gauge, allowing you to monitor vital stats while working in the heat of Berwick, LA.

The 8.4 inch primary display is a responsive touchscreen that integrates seamlessly with your mobile devices via Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smart device wireless mirroring. This allows you to access navigation, messages, and industry-specific apps without taking your hands off the wheel.

Communication is handled through Handsfree Uconnect w/Bluetooth, supported by Voice activated audio controls for effortless adjustments on the fly. The cabin features 5 USB ports to keep your entire crews devices charged, along with Wireless audio streaming for entertainment during long transits.

Comfort & Interior

The interior of this RAM 2500 is focused on utility and durability, featuring Diesel Gray/Black tones and Heavy Duty Vinyl 40/20/40 Split Bench Seating. This material is specifically chosen for its ability to withstand the dirt and grime of a Louisiana job site while remaining easy to clean. The Crew Cab configuration offers a Seating capacity of 6, with Full folding rear seats and a Rear under seat tray for secure internal storage.

The Tradesman Power Equipment Group adds essential modern conveniences, including Power first-row and second-row windows, Power door locks with 2 stage unlocking, and Keyless Entry. For those humid afternoons, the Manual climate control is supplemented by Rear under seat climate control ducts and Rear console climate control ducts, ensuring every passenger stays comfortable. Drivers will appreciate the Cruise control with steering wheel mounted controls and the Manual tilting steering wheel for finding the perfect driving position during long hauls between Thibodaux, LA and the coast.

Safety & Driver Assistance

Safety on the road is paramount when operating a heavy-duty vehicle. This RAM 2500 is equipped with Adaptive cruise control with stop and go, a rare and valuable feature in the work-truck segment that helps maintain a safe distance from traffic automatically. The Forward collision mitigation with pedestrian impact prevention and Following distance alert provide an extra layer of protection in urban environments or congested highway zones.

Maneuvering a long-box truck is made easier with the ParkView rear mounted camera, providing a clear view of what is behind you. The braking system is robust, featuring 4-Wheel Disc Brakes with a Four channel ABS and Brake assist. For those who frequently tow, the included Trailer brake controller and Tire Fill Alert system ensure that both the truck and your trailer are operating safely. The vehicle is protected by a comprehensive 6 airbag system, including Curtain first and second-row overhead airbags.

Exterior & Design

Dressed in Bright White Clearcoat, this RAM 2500 presents a professional and clean image. The exterior is designed for function, featuring 17-inch Black Styled Steel Wheels and Black front and rear bumpers that are built to take the occasional bump of daily work life. The 8-foot box provides maximum cargo volume, while the Rear bumper step allows for easy access to your gear.

Visibility is a priority, evidenced by the LED low and high beam headlights, LED front fog lights, and Cab clearance lights. The Power heated door mirrors include Turn signal indicators and Manual extendable trailer mirrors, which are essential for navigating narrow parish roads with a wide load. The truck is also equipped with a Class V tow rating, a Trailer hitch light, and 2 front tow hooks, making it ready for recovery or heavy-duty towing the moment it leaves the lot.
