The Mac Daddy of pickup trucks tows the Mac Daddy of campers to find out which features make a difference, and which don’t at all.

The truck’s full name says it all: Ram 2500 HD Limited Mega Cab 4×4. Toss in the Cummins badge on the fender and it’s hard to get much more American. Exterior styling is conservative, boasting a classy front end with clean lines that contrast the glitzier Ford Super Duty and the downright disturbing Chevy Silverado HD. Step into its massive cabin—the Mega Cab is 11.1-inches longer than a standard Crew Cab, all to the benefit of internal storage and rear-seat legroom—and a sense of hard power washes over you. High-quality leathers, open-pore woods, and the massive 12-inch portrait touchscreen let you know this truck means one thing: business.

In addition, Limited trim trucks include 20-inch brushed aluminum wheels with chrome pockets, trim-specific grille, adaptive LED headlights, heated and ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, and wireless cell phone charger. This specific Ram sported nearly $20,000 in optional equipment, though nearly half of that ($9,100) went toward the monster under the hood. The 6.7-liter inline-six turbodiesel puts out a hefty 370 horsepower and 850 pound-feet of torque, and it’s built by Cummins at its Columbus, Indiana headquarters. That price premium means this isn’t a recreational truck, an image piece someone buys to look macho or cart around a couple of mountain bikes. Said preener would soon come to regret their choices anyway, enduring the Ram 2500’s abysmal turning radius, stiff ride, and solid-axle handling without point or purpose. It needs to haul something.
