Offering their ¾-ton truck customers a taste of the Power Wagon life, Ram is offering a new Off-road Package on the 2017 2500 Heavy Duty; a value-priced option including a list of must-have upgrades for the occasional off-roader. Up to 35% of pickup owners operate their vehicle in off-road environments for work and or/play. To that end, this package consists of large front tow hooks for added versatility, larger fender flares, specially tuned Bilstein shocks to better take advantage of the exclusive coil rear suspension adding further control, 18” or 20” Firestone all-terrain tires that clean themselves keeping the tread clear to grip again, a transfer case skid plate to address the lowest mid-point of the truck, hill-decent control to control speed down steep, rugged grades, and for added traction a rear anti-spin differential turning both wheels in tandem when increased torque is applied, and then automatically unlocking for normal on-road driving.
