Seeing Signs
Car and Driver
|November / December 2025
THERE'S A ROAD SIGN on the edge of town that reads No Engine Brake.
Ram 2500 HIGHS: More muscle and hustle, smooth-shifting transmission, impressive fuel economy. LOWS: Diesel option alone costs roughly 68 percent of a new Nissan Versa, steering and brake feel need to enter the modern era.
Though we're pretty sure that only applies to semi trucks, as we approach the zone in the diesel-powered Ram 2500 with a trailer in tow and the engine brake fully engaged, the big diesel works against the load, emitting a throaty purr that gives off 18-wheeler vibes. Maybe that sign was meant for us after all.
