RAM builds vehicles for people who work hard and expect their truck or van to do the same. Each model in the lineup is purpose-built for a different level of capability and application — here’s a guide to what’s available at Bettenhausen CDJR:
The RAM 1500 is the best-selling truck in the RAM lineup and one of the most decorated half-ton pickups on the market — and for good reason. It delivers an exceptional combination of proven towing and payload capability, a best-in-class coil-spring rear suspension for a ride quality that leaves competitors flat-footed, and an interior that rivals luxury SUVs at the top trim levels.
Whether you’re hauling a boat to the lake on weekends, managing light job-site duty during the week, or simply looking for a daily driver that can do it all, the RAM 1500 delivers without compromise. Available engine options include an efficient eTorque mild hybrid V6, a HEMI V8 for maximum performance, and an available EcoDiesel V6 for drivers who prioritize fuel efficiency and long-range towing. Available 4×4 systems keep you confident on Illinois roads in any season.
When the job requires more than a half-ton can deliver, the RAM 2500 is ready. Built on a reinforced heavy-duty frame with a heavier front axle, upgraded suspension components, and available Cummins Turbo Diesel power, the RAM 2500 is designed for contractors, farmers, landscapers, and anyone who regularly pulls heavy trailers or hauls serious loads for a living.
The available 6.7L Cummins Turbo Diesel engine is legendary in the heavy-duty truck segment for its torque output, long-term reliability, and ability to maintain performance under sustained heavy loads — mile after mile. For buyers who prefer gasoline power, the available HEMI V8 delivers strong capability at a lower entry cost.
The RAM 3500 is built for one purpose above all others: maximum towing and payload capability. When properly configured with the available 6.7L Cummins High Output Turbo Diesel, the RAM 3500 delivers best-in-class conventional and fifth-wheel towing ratings that no other pickup truck can match. If you’re moving heavy equipment, commercial trailers, or large fifth-wheel RVs, the 3500 is the benchmark.
Despite its commercial-grade capability, the RAM 3500 doesn’t make you suffer for it. Available Laramie, Longhorn, and Limited trim levels bring genuine luxury — premium leather, a large touchscreen, wood and metal interior accents — to a truck that can also work a construction site every day.
The RAM ProMaster is the go-to cargo van for businesses that depend on a vehicle to keep their operations running. Built with a front-wheel-drive layout that maximizes cargo floor space, minimizes drivetrain intrusion, and improves maneuverability in urban settings, the ProMaster is available in multiple roof heights, wheelbase lengths, and body configurations to match virtually any business application.
The RAM ProMaster EV brings the ProMaster’s proven commercial utility into the electric age. With zero tailpipe emissions, a practical all-electric range designed around real commercial use cases, and the full cargo flexibility of the ProMaster platform, the ProMaster EV is purpose-built for businesses ready to transition their delivery or service fleet to electric operation — and reap the fuel cost and maintenance savings that come with it.

One of RAM’s biggest advantages over its competition is the breadth of powertrain options across the lineup. You’re not locked into one engine — you can spec the powertrain that fits your actual usage:
Modern RAM trucks pair class-leading capability with a technology suite that keeps you connected, productive, and protected on every drive — whether you’re on a job site or the interstate.
If towing is a primary reason you’re buying a RAM truck, you’ll appreciate that RAM has invested more in trailering technology than any other truck manufacturer. The available RAM Trailering App and integrated camera and monitoring systems take the stress out of towing — whether you’re an experienced hauler or doing it for the first time.

The RAM 1500 is a half-ton light-duty truck ideal for daily driving, weekend towing, and light job-site use. The RAM 2500 is a three-quarter-ton heavy-duty truck built for buyers who regularly tow heavy trailers or haul serious payloads on the job. The RAM 3500 is a one-ton heavy-duty truck engineered for maximum towing and payload — it offers the highest ratings in the segment when equipped with the available Cummins High Output Diesel. As a general rule, choose the 1500 for everyday versatility, the 2500 for regular heavy work, and the 3500 for maximum commercial capability.
Yes. RAM offers diesel engines across multiple models. The RAM 1500 is available with a 3.0L EcoDiesel V6 for buyers who want diesel efficiency and towing in a half-ton. The RAM 2500 and RAM 3500 are both available with the legendary 6.7L Cummins Turbo Diesel — and the RAM 3500 offers an available High Output version for maximum towing capacity. Ask our team at Bettenhausen CDJR about current diesel inventory availability.
When properly equipped, the RAM 1500 can tow up to approximately 12,750 lbs — one of the stronger ratings in the half-ton segment. Actual towing capacity varies based on engine, cab and bed configuration, axle ratio, and installed packages. Our team can help you spec the exact configuration needed to achieve the towing capacity your lifestyle demands.
When properly equipped with the available 6.7L Cummins High Output Turbo Diesel and a fifth-wheel or gooseneck hitch, the RAM 3500 delivers best-in-class towing capacity — the highest of any pickup truck available. If you’re moving fifth-wheel RVs, heavy commercial trailers, or large equipment, the 3500 is the benchmark in the segment. Confirm your exact configuration’s rating with our team.
Yes — and it’s one of the RAM 1500’s most significant advantages over its competition. The RAM 1500 uses a rear coil-spring suspension (rather than the leaf-spring setup used by Ford F-150 and Chevy Silverado 1500) that delivers a noticeably smoother, more car-like ride quality — particularly over rough pavement and Illinois’s pothole-riddled roads. Buyers who spend significant time in their truck appreciate this difference immediately on a test drive.
The RAM ProMaster is a full-size cargo van designed for commercial applications. Its front-wheel-drive layout gives it a lower cargo floor, better maneuverability in tight spaces, and more usable cargo width compared to rear-wheel-drive vans. It’s available in multiple roof heights and wheelbases to accommodate virtually any upfitting need. The ProMaster is a popular choice for delivery companies, trades contractors, service businesses, and any operation that needs a capable, spacious commercial van.
Yes. The RAM ProMaster EV is an all-electric version of the ProMaster commercial van, offering zero-emission operation, a practical electric range suited to commercial route driving, and the full cargo flexibility of the ProMaster platform. It’s designed for businesses transitioning their fleets to electric vehicles — with reduced fuel and maintenance costs and potential eligibility for commercial EV tax credits. Ask our team about ProMaster EV availability and fleet incentive programs.
Absolutely. RAM trucks and vans are widely used by businesses of all sizes across the Chicago south suburbs — from solo tradespeople to larger commercial operations.

Yes. RAM 1500 models equipped with the Uconnect 5 infotainment system support wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto — no cable required.
