The 2500 is available with either rear-wheel drive or part-time four-wheel drive, except the Power Wagon, which is available in 4WD form only.

I just towed my 9,800lbs travel trailer and my truck towed well and braked well. I have driven on the beach, in canyons, through water and my truck gets the job done. Next, two … months later I went driving in the desert and once again my truck handled well on very rocky and bumpy roads like a champ. My truck started well in 0 degree weather and every thing worked after driving in 0 degree weather. A month after getting my truck I went to Big Bear after a major snow fall and my truck handled well in 4x4H in the snow. I'm writing this review because my 20/ 6.7 Laramie 4x4 is a Beast! I custom ordered this truck and man did everything I got on this truck deliver.
