In fact, the generation had begun developing in the year 1986, but the eventual debut was in 1993. At the North American International Auto Show, the model made its first appearance and had achieved great success through the large sale and by winning the "Truck of the Year" by Motor Trend in 1994. Sales increased by about 2.5 times compared to the previous vehicles and were again doubled in 1995, keeping its sensation in 1996 at about 411,000 sales. Dodge offered the model in two different gross-vehicle-weight ratings, the light-duty and heavy-duty, for the first few years, but canceled later. The first aim was to let the heavy-duty 2500 take the place of the 1-ton single-rear-wheel trucks which had already been discontinued. Also, rear axles installed on the light-duty Dodge Ram 2500 trucks were semi-floating, while those on the heavy-duty were full-floating. In addition, the light-duty version was not available with the diesel or V10 engines.

The third generation of the pickups was released in 2001, and the Dodge Ram 2500 was updated for the 2003 model year. The frame, suspension, powertrains, interiors, and sheet metal were all refreshed, but the live axles were kept for longevity and durability. Again, the vehicle was sold well in the volume of 400,000 during 2001–2002 and nearly 450,000 during 2002–2003. This vehicle version received a facelift in 2006, including the “Mega Cab” with a 6.25 feet (2 m) cargo box and 22 inches (559 mm) extra cab space. The steering wheel design combined Dakota and Durango. The fourth generation pickup was introduced in 2008, and the Dodge Ram 2500 joined the lineup in the same year after the 1500 model. The Dodge brand was deleted in the year 2010, changing into Ram 2500. Since then, the model has been regarded as a “class-exclusive” one, as other competitors had discontinued the manual transmission.
