Is the 2027 Ram 2500 Big Horn Right for Your Farm?
The 2500 Big Horn suits farmers and landowners who need heavy-duty capability for winter feeding and towing, plus a comfortable cab for trips into town.
Hauling Water When Tanks Freeze
When ponds and stock tanks ice over, many Northwest Arkansas farms haul water in a bed tank or on a trailer. Water weighs about 8.3 lbs per gallon, so a 300-gallon tank adds roughly 2,500 lbs before the tank itself. Check the payload label on the door jamb, and consider the Payload Upgrade Package if you regularly carry heavy loads in the bed.
Hay and Feed Runs
An 8-foot bed carries more square bales and feed sacks per trip, and many farmers pull a flatbed or gooseneck trailer for round bales. The available auto-leveling rear air suspension helps keep the truck level with a heavy load or trailer tongue. Secure loads well, since hay can shift on rough, frozen ground.
Icy Gravel and Muddy Gates
Available 4x4 and the anti-spin rear differential help on frozen gravel and soft ground around feeding areas. Drive slowly on ice, and use Tow/Haul mode and the engine's braking when coming downhill with a loaded trailer. If you pull very heavy trailers or need more payload, the Ram 3500 is worth comparing.
