Towing & Payload

Towing Payload

Dodge Ram 3500, 4500 and 5500 Chassis Cabs are designed, engineered, tested and built to meet the higher performance standards of commercial truck buyers. Their impressive Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) and Gross Combined Weight Rating (GCWR) provide brute-scale towing and payload capacity. For example, the Dodge Ram 3500 Regular Chassis Cab with the single-rear-wheel axle offers a best-in-class 10,200-pound[1] GVWR and 5500 weighs in at up to 19,500 GVWR. Dodge Ram 4500 and 5500 Chassis Cabs have more diesel Regular and Quad Cab models for heavier loads than Ford F-450 and F-550[1] plus they feature best-in-class standard tow hooks.

Engines & Fuel Tanks

Cummins®. It's a legend among diesels, tough-as-nails and willing to work overtime. Cummins power is efficient and reliable. It’s the only diesel that meets more stringent ARB state emission standards. This allows Chassis Cabs to idle indefinitely at a job site so you can use their HVAC and electrical features.

Commins Power 6.7-liter Cummins® Turbo Diesel engine specs:

  • 305 horsepower
  • 610 lb-ft of torque
  • Variable Geometry Turbocharger for improved performance and fuel economy
  • Standard class-exclusive, factory-installed exhaust brake
  • High-efficiency electronic fuel injection for improved fuel economy
  • Fewer moving parts for extra durability

Handling & Suspension

Dodge Ram Chassis Cabs are built with burden-bearing suspension and serious braking power. Wide-mounted front suspension design improves handling under heavy loads and provides higher ground clearance so you can handle rough terrain.

For greater driving confidence, an available class-exclusive[1], integrated exhaust brake reduces brake fade, prolongs brake life, and provides stopping safety and confidence when hauling heavy loads on downhill grades. If that’s not enough, Dodge Ram 5500 Chassis Cab features best-in-class brake wear[1] - lasting over three times as long as Ford F-550’s brakes.

Suspension and braking features include:

  • Auxiliary rear leaf springs support each truck’s full-rated load
  • Five-link coilover front suspension
