To start, the most expensive version of the Ram 2500 is the Limited trim. From the very beginning, it gets more expensive by adding 4WD as well as the Mega Cab. The Mega Cab, along with the 6’4″ box, caused the 2022 Ram 2500 Limited to start at $69,000. Of course, we can add a lot more to make it even more expensive to really “fully load” it up.

First and foremost, buyers can swap out the 6.4-liter V8 heavy-duty HEMI MDS engine for a 6.7-liter I6 Cummins Turbo Diesel. The optional engine will cost you an extra $9,400, putting the total up to a whopping $78,400 immediately. Next, we’ll add every package and feature available to the heavy-duty pickup truck.
