Frequently Asked Questions About Heavy Duty Ram Trucks
What is the difference between the Ram 2500 and Ram 3500 for commercial use?
The primary difference lies in towing and payload capacities. The Ram 2500 utilizes a coil-spring rear suspension or available air suspension providing a smooth ride while maintaining extreme capability. The Ram 3500 features a traditional leaf-spring rear suspension and offers an available dual-rear-wheel configuration, providing significantly higher payload and maximum towing limits for heavy gooseneck and fifth-wheel trailers.
Can Airport CDJR help upfit heavy duty trucks for specific trades?
Yes. We assist businesses with custom upfitting options ranging from service bodies and dump beds to box van conversions and trade-specific tool racks. Our team coordinates with certified upfitters to deliver job-ready trucks directly to your fleet.
Are heavy duty Ram trucks eligible for Section 179 tax deductions?
In many cases, yes. Because Ram 2500 and Ram 3500 models feature a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating over 6,000 pounds, they generally qualify for accelerated depreciation and Section 179 tax deductions for qualifying businesses. We recommend consulting your tax professional for specific tax guidance.
