Working at a jobsite with tools and vehicles that don’t get the job done in an efficient manner is simply unacceptable. Having a reliable vehicle is something to be expected, that’s why the 2017 Ram 5500 Chassis is what you need. The Ram 4500/5500 Chassis Cab truck was named Work Truck Magazine’s 2015 Medium-Duty Truck of the Year, beating 10 other competitors. That award is simply a starting point for why you should consider this vehicle, along with the features mentioned below.
The 5500 Chassis has a best-in-class diesel max gross combination weight rating (GCWR) of 33,500 pounds. This can be attributed to the commercial-grade Cummins turbo diesel engine that is a 6.4 liter V8. This Cummins produces best-in-class 370 horsepower and best-in-class 429 pound-feet of torque. This strength is combined with Fuel Saver Technology that deactivates four cylinders when eight are not necessary. The Chassis puts just enough energy into any task without wasting anything. It’s also available in class-exclusive 6.7 liter Cummins turbo diesel I6 engine with Smart Diesel Exhaust Brake System. This can tow up to 30,600 pounds and an available GCWR of 38,500 pounds. This engine combines with an available B20 biodiesel capability and best-in-class 15,000-mile oil change intervals. These combinations provide you with the most reliable Chassis on the market. The rear frame provides a steel strength of 50,000 PSI to ensure that this truck is the automobile version of Hercules. In the tank is a best-in-class 74-gallon combined dual fuel tank capacity to get you to any job site necessary.
There are four transmission options for towing: 66RFE six-speed automatic transmission, available AISIN AS66RC six-speed automatic transmission, available AISIN AS69RC six-speed automatic transmission and class-exclusive available G56 six-speed manual transmission. These options are available for what the situation calls for.
There are multiple Chassis cab versions to find the perfect size for your worksite. This includes single or dual rear wheels, different cab-to-axle lengths, five power take off options to help power uplifts, available upfitter-ready electrica mode with 50+ inputs/outputs and available ParkSense Front and Rear Park Assist System.
With all of these features packed into one truck, there won’t be a job that is too big for you. It will be able to handle anything thrown its way due to its size, power and performance.
