Ram 2500 Power Wagon or Rebel: Off Road Heavy Duty Trims for North Texas

Buying | Graham, TX The choices you make when you order a Ram heavy duty, in the order that makes them easy. Heavy duty buyers tend to know exactly what they want and rarely find it parked in one spot. Cab, engine, axle ratio, trim and color add up to a lot of combinations, and the one in front of you might miss on a single detail. Ordering fixes that. Holiday Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram has a preorder form for exactly this, and this post explains the choices you will face and how to settle them before you talk to a sales specialist. Quick answer: If a Ram 2500 or 3500 on the lot misses on engine, axle, cab or trim, ask about ordering one. Submit the preorder form on the Holiday CDJR site and a sales specialist will contact you to start the process. Decide on the job first, then pick the build that matches. At a glance Start Preorder form on the website Next A sales specialist contacts you Decide Cab, engine, axle, trim, color In this post When does ordering beat buying off the lot? What choices do you make when you order? What should you know before you place an order? How does ordering compare with waiting for the right truck on the lot? What to bring when you start When does ordering beat buying off the lot? Ordering makes sense when a small difference matters a lot. A gooseneck hauler that needs a certain axle ratio, a crew cab that must have a specific bed length or a work truck that needs a bare bones trim are examples. Buying off the lot makes sense when a truck close to your list is available and you need it soon. Ordering takes patience, so be honest about your timeline. Ordering works well when you aren't under pressure. Think about the calendar too. Hay season, hunting season and a busy trailer schedule all make a bad time to be without a truck, so start the conversation before the busy stretch begins. Graham tip: If your old truck is limping along, deal with that first. What choices do you make when you order? The big ones are the engine, the cab and bed, the axle ratio, the trim and the package. After that come color, wheels and options like a fifth wheel prep package, running boards or a bed liner. Start with the work. Write down the heaviest trailer, the heaviest load and the miles you drive in a year. Those answers pick the engine and axle for you. Be careful with options that you can add later. Running boards, a bed liner and many Mopar accessories can be installed after delivery, while the engine, axle and cab can't be changed once the truck is built. 1 Job. List your heaviest trailer, load and yearly miles. 2 Build. Pick the engine, cab, bed and axle that match the job. 3 Trim. Choose the comfort level, then color and options. What should you know before you place an order? Ask how long the process typically takes and what changes between the order and the delivery. Ask what is required to start and what happens if you change your mind. Details like deposits and timing are decided between you and the sales team, so get them clear in writing. Ask about pricing and incentives as well. Offers change over time, so find out which ones apply to an ordered truck. Ask what to do with your current truck while you wait. Some people keep driving it, and some trade it at delivery. Either way, get the plan clear before the order goes in. Get it in writing: the build you chose, the timing the team gives you and what happens if the order changes. How does ordering compare with waiting for the right truck on the lot? Waiting means you take what shows up. Ordering means you choose, and you wait for it to be built. The first is faster if a good match appears, and the second is better if your needs are precise. You can do both at once. Keep watching the new inventory while the order is in process, and tell the sales team if a better match arrives. Some buyers also ask whether they can change the order after it is placed. The answer depends on where the truck is in the process, so ask early and ask the sales specialist directly. Ordering works well when you aren't under pressure. What to bring when you start Bring your numbers: trailer weight, hitch type, yearly miles and budget. If you have a trade, bring that too, and use the Value Your Trade form so the team has a place to start. Bring a list of questions about warranty, service and accessories. The parts department offers Mopar accessories you can add after delivery. Bring a second opinion if you can. A spouse, a partner in the business or a friend who tows the same trailer can catch a detail you missed.

Heavy Duty | Graham, TX What a Ram 2500 buys you in Young County, and how to choose between the gas engine and the Cummins diesel. Look at the trucks parked outside a Graham feed store on a Saturday and you'll see a lot of three quarter ton pickups. Young County runs on ranch work, oilfield service and trailers, and a half ton gets tired of that schedule quickly. Holiday Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram sells the Ram 2500 at 1609 US Highway 380. If you're deciding between the gas engine and the Cummins Turbo Diesel, or between a work trim and a Laramie, this is the plain version of the decision. Quick answer: The Ram 2500 is a heavy duty pickup built for loads and trailers a Ram 1500 shouldn't carry every week. Choose the Cummins Turbo Diesel if you tow heavy and put on miles. A gas engine can be the simpler fit for lighter use. Check the payload and tow numbers on the exact truck. At a glance Truck Ram 2500 heavy duty pickup Engines Gas engine or Cummins Turbo Diesel Store 1609 US Highway 380, Graham In this post Why do so many Young County trucks run a Ram 2500? Should you pick the gas engine or the Cummins diesel? What does owning a diesel Ram involve? Picking a trim What should you ask before you buy a heavy duty truck? Why do so many Young County trucks run a Ram 2500? Because the work asks for it. A gooseneck stock trailer, a skid steer on a flatbed or a service body full of tools adds up to more weight than a light truck is meant to carry day after day. A heavy duty truck carries that weight with stronger components, so the frame, brakes and cooling system are built for it. That doesn't make a 2500 right for everyone, but it explains the parking lot at the sale barn. Graham tip: Write down the heaviest thing you pull and the heaviest thing you carry in the bed. The two numbers decide more than the badge on the tailgate does. Should you pick the gas engine or the Cummins diesel? Think in miles and weight. The Cummins Turbo Diesel is the engine for heavy trailers, long hauls and steady work, because it makes strong torque at low engine speeds and holds it on a grade. A gas engine tends to cost less up front and keeps routine maintenance simpler. If you tow a modest trailer a few times a year, or the truck mostly rides around town and the ranch, it may be all you need. Ask the sales team for both on the same drive loop. Engine sound, shifting and the way each one climbs a hill tell you quickly which one you like. Think in miles and weight. What does owning a diesel Ram involve? A little more attention, and a lot of payoff if you use the truck as intended. Diesels use diesel exhaust fluid, carry a larger oil capacity and rely on filters that need to be changed on schedule. That's routine for the Holiday CDJR service department, which lists engine diagnostics, fluids and filters among its work. Let the shop know it's a diesel when you book so the right parts are ready. 1 Fuel. Keep it clean and use a station with steady turnover. 2 Fluids. Watch the diesel exhaust fluid level and the oil change interval in the manual. 3 Filters. Fuel and air filters matter more on a truck that works in dust. Picking a trim Ram 2500 trims range from work focused models to the Laramie and above, and the choice is mostly about the cab. Work trims keep the price and the cabin simple. Higher trims add leather, bigger screens and comfort features that matter on a long day. The tools you need for the job stay the same across trims, so decide whether the truck is a tool, an office or both. Then look at the inventory with that in mind and let the Ram inventory page do the filtering. What should you ask before you buy a heavy duty truck? Ask for the payload and towing numbers on the truck itself, not the brochure, since they change with engine, axle ratio and cab. Ask what hitch setup you need, whether that's a bumper pull, a gooseneck or a fifth wheel, and whether the truck has the prep for it. Ask about service too. A truck that works hard needs a shop that knows it, and Holiday CDJR's technicians are trained on Ram vehicles.

The preorder form starts that conversation. Start a preorder Choosing the engine Is the Cummins diesel worth it on a Ram 2500? + It makes sense for heavy trailers, high mileage and steady work. If your use is light, a gas engine may serve you well at lower cost. Does a diesel Ram need special fluid? + Yes. Modern diesels use diesel exhaust fluid, and the owner's manual explains where to fill it and how often to check it. Can I test drive both engines? + Ask the sales team what's on the lot. Inventory changes, so call (940) 532-6403 to check before you drive over. Towing and payload How much can a Ram 2500 tow? + It depends on the engine, axle and cab. Read the tow rating for the exact truck, since two 2500s can differ a lot. What is payload and why does it matter? + Payload is how much weight the truck can carry, including passengers, gear and trailer tongue weight. It's printed on the door jamb sticker. Do I need a special hitch? + Heavy trailers often use a gooseneck or fifth wheel setup. Ask whether the truck has the prep or what it needs added. Trims and equipment What Ram 2500 trims does Holiday CDJR carry? + The mix changes through the year. Check the Ram inventory page to see what's on the lot today. Is a Laramie worth the extra over a work trim? + That depends on how much of your day is in the cab. Comfort, screens and seats are the main differences, and the tools you need to work stay the same. Can I get a camera or tow mirrors added? + Many are factory options, and the parts department offers Mopar accessories. Ask the team what fits the truck you choose. Buying and financing Can I finance a Ram 2500 through Holiday CDJR? + Yes. The store has a finance department and an online application, and the team can walk you through options. Does a business buyer get anything different? + The store has a commercial department for work trucks. Contact it if you're buying for a business. Can my current truck go toward a Ram 2500? + Yes. Fill in the Value Your Trade form and bring the truck in so the team can look it over.

Service | Graham, TX A short checklist for keeping a Jeep Wrangler dependable through the first freeze of the year. North Texas falls into winter in a hurry. One week you're driving with the doors off, and the next a north wind drops the temperature thirty degrees overnight. A Jeep Wrangler handles a cold morning fine if the basics are ready. This post covers what a freeze does to a Wrangler, which items deserve a look in the last weeks of October and how Holiday Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram in Graham can help. Quick answer: Before the first freeze, test the battery, check tire pressure, look at fluids and wiper blades, and inspect the door and roof seals. Four wheel drive helps you go, not stop, so tires and speed matter on ice. The Express Lane at Holiday CDJR covers a battery test and a multipoint check. At a glance Battery Test before the first freeze Tires Pressure drops as it gets cold Seals Doors and roof panels keep the heater working In this post What does a cold snap do to a Wrangler? Should you test the battery before winter? How do tires and four wheel drive handle ice? Which fluids and wipers matter most? What if you still take the doors off in fall? What does a cold snap do to a Wrangler? Cold makes everything a little harder. A weak battery that started fine in September struggles at 20 degrees. Tire pressure falls, fluids get thicker and rubber seals stiffen. A Wrangler adds one more variable, its removable parts. Doors, panels and fabric roofs all seal against air, and a seal that has been stored or flexed all summer may leak when the wind turns north. Pack for it, too. A blanket, a flashlight, a phone charger and a small shovel live in the back of a smart Wrangler from November through February, and they take up almost no room. Graham tip: Put the roof panels or fabric roof back on before the first cold night, not after. Seals that sit sealed for a few days settle in better than ones forced into place on a freezing morning. Should you test the battery before winter? Yes. Batteries lose strength in the cold, and a battery that is a few years old can fail on the first freezing morning without warning. A test takes a few minutes. The Holiday CDJR Express Lane lists a battery test and replacement, with the note that replacement is for non warranty batteries. Pair it with an oil change and the whole thing is one stop. The service department can also look at the charging system. If the battery tests weak, replace it before the freeze, not after. A dead battery in a cold parking lot on a Monday morning is a worse bargain than a new one in October. Slow crank: the engine turns over slowly on a cold start. Dim lights at idle: a sign the battery or charging system is weak. How do tires and four wheel drive handle ice? Four wheel drive helps a Wrangler accelerate, but it doesn't help it stop or turn on ice. Tires and speed do that work. Drive slower than you think you need to and leave extra distance. Tire pressure drops as temperatures fall, so check it again when the cold arrives. Look at the tread as well. The Express Lane lists a tire wear and pressure check, which covers both. Four wheel drive helps a Wrangler accelerate, but it doesn't help it stop or turn on ice. Which fluids and wipers matter most? Check the washer fluid first, since road spray in cold weather can blind you in seconds. Use a fluid rated for freezing temperatures, and replace worn wiper blades before the first ice storm. Coolant protection matters too. The Express Lane lists coolant and fluid level checks, and a quick test shows whether the mix will survive a hard freeze. Heater and defroster performance also deserve a quick test. Run both on a cool evening and confirm warm air and a clear windshield, since you don't want to find a problem on the first freezing morning. What if you still take the doors off in fall? Plenty of Wrangler owners do, and October can be a great month for it. Just keep the doors and roof close and know how long it takes to put them back. A cold snap can arrive faster than the forecast says. If the Wrangler sits outside, consider a cover and check the interior for moisture after a wet cold spell. Water in the floor can freeze and cause more trouble. One last habit pays off. Walk around the Wrangler once a week in winter, looking at the tires, the lights and the wipers. Ninety seconds of looking prevents most of the surprises.

Tell the advisor you want a pre freeze check. Go to the Express Lane Battery and starting How long does a car battery last? + It varies with heat, use and the battery itself. Texas summers are hard on batteries, so test one that's a few years old before winter. Does the Express Lane test batteries? + Yes. It lists a battery test and replacement, with replacement for non warranty batteries. Why is my Wrangler slow to start when it's cold? + Cold weakens a battery and thickens oil. A battery test is the first step. Tires and traction Does cold weather lower tire pressure? + Yes. Pressure drops as the air cools, so check it when the weather changes. Is four wheel drive enough on ice? + It helps you go, not stop. Slow down and leave extra distance. Should I carry anything in the Wrangler for winter? + A blanket, a flashlight, water, a phone charger and gloves are smart. Add a small shovel if you drive back roads. Doors, roof and heat Can I leave the doors off in cold weather? + You can, but expect a cold ride. Put them on before the first freeze. How do I stop a roof panel from leaking? + Check the seals and the fit. A shop can look at it if the leak continues.
