At a Glance: The 2021 RAM 2500

The new 2021 model has a few new features, such as a virtual rearview mirror add-on option. This latest version of the RAM 2500 manages to blend luxury interior styling with technological comforts like touchscreen infotainment and advanced driver assistance features. The 2021 model also upgrades the coil-spring suspension system to lend an extra-smooth ride to the powerful engine options you can find beneath the hood.

Powertrain and Performance. 

This year’s RAM 2500 has a few engine options to customize your ride. For basic trims, you have the choice between a gasoline V-8 engine of a diesel inline-six system. The gas versions have a 6.4-liter build, while the diesel variants have a beefy six-speed automatic I-6 setup. You can expect 410 hp and 429lb-ft of torque out of the gas engines and around 370 hp with 850 lb-ft of torque from the diesel engines.

Overall, drivers are pleased with the responsiveness of the RAM 2500. As a smaller heavy-duty pickup truck, this vehicle is more commercial-friendly for drivers who multi-task with their vehicles. The smooth ride with the coil-suspension configuration makes this pickup an exceptional option.

Cab and Bed

Where RAM really stands out is the number of options these trucks have for cab and bed configurations. For the 2500, drivers can select from single-cab, two-row cab, or two-row mega cabs for the chassis. Regular cab, the bed is 8ft, while crew cabs have a choice between 8ft and 6.4ft beds. These options vary based on your preferred trim selection.

6 Best Museums to See in and Around Fredericksburg, TX

National Museum of the Pacific War

This important museum is the only historical site dedicated to the United State’s Pacific campaign during World War II. It first opened in 1968, and since then, the museum has grown to become one of the most famous historical sites in the country. Its campus spans six acres and rightfully so, as the museum expanded over the years seeing new additions to its collection. The George H.W. Bush Gallery opened in 2009 and features a wealth of historical artifacts.

Pioneer Museum

Located in Gillespie County, the Pioneer Museum is managed by the Gillespie Historical Society and is full of historical gems.

Fort Martin Scott

This important piece of American history found its way onto the National Register of Historic Places. Also referred to as the “Guardian of the Texas Frontier”, this military post was the first-ever along the western border of Texas. It’s located above the shores of Barons Creek, which is just east of Fredericksburg. Visitors are welcome to explore Fort Martin Scott and the surrounding area free of charge! There are also live reenactments scheduled that visitors can enjoy and learn about its history.

Texas Rangers Heritage Center

Texans grow up learning about their hero with a badge, the Texas Ranger. But thanks to the Texas Ranger Heritage Center, visitors can learn more about the badge and how it helped shape the excellent men and women of Texas law enforcement today. The center is located on a 12-acre campus that features a large open-air pavilion that seats 350 people and an amphitheater that seats 150 people. Both of these amenities are used to host several events.

Vereins Kirche

The Vereins Kirche is an important extension of the Pioneer Museum. It serves as a reminder of the bravery Fredericksburg’s settlers displayed, and their vision for the future of the town. The Vereins Kirche had many functions as the town’s first-ever public building. It was used as a school, fort, and even a church for all faiths.

Lyndon B. Johnson National Historical Park

Although this park is not an actual museum, its strong historic ties to President Lyndon B. Johnson make it a must-see for anyone passionate about American history.
