Supremacy when measured by the available Cummins® Turbo Diesel boils down to bottom-line advantages: new and improved power and capability; decreased maintenance and downtime; state-of-the-art technology to improve quality, durability, and ancillary PTO applications for Chassis Cab models. In the final analysis, this is a toned heavyweight with a PhD in advanced economics. A summary of business-oriented advantages includes:

For Ram 3500/4500/5500 Chassis Cabs, Cummins is

available in two versions — the 320 hp/650 lb-ft of torque version, mated to the proven six-speed manual transmission, and the High Output, with 325 hp/750 lb-ft of torque, and mated only to the AISIN

UNLEADED FUEL. SUPREME PERFORMANCE.

If success has any measure, it’s that of history: with more

than a century of developments, the iconic hemispherical

combustion chamber — with its ability to endure high

compression ratios and efficiently burn fuel with near-zero

fatigue — reigns as one of the world’s best engine designs.

The main attributes of the 2013 version of this legendary

engine include:

Exceptional power and torque — 383 horsepower and

400 lb-ft of torque (for Ram 2500/3500 pickups and 3500 Chassis Cab).

V8 kicks out

When an engineering résumé boasts credentials that include propelling WWII Thunderbolt

airplanes, helping define the distinctive Muscle Car Era, and vaulting Ram pickups and Chassis

Cabs to first-place consideration for world-wide industrial applications, you’ve got a ready-made

candidate for the toughest jobs.

The distinguished history of this legendary engine puts the unstoppable and impressive

hemispherical design of the 5.7-liter HEMI V8 into an optimum choice of heavy-duty 2013 Ram

commercial vehicles. Upgraded transmissions and proven transfer cases expand capability. All

components utilize technologies and engineering protocols created specifically for heavy-duty use

and long-term durability, with ongoing improvements addressing performance, fuel efficiency, and

longevity. In every way, this family is all about the work. The HEMI V8 powertrains demonstrate

this ethic with been-there, done-that agility.

The proven partner of the HEMI V8 in Ram 2500/3500 HD pickups and 3500 Chassis Cabs is the

sophisticated 66RFE six-speed automatic transmission, a component that exceeds typical demands

for anticipated towing and hauling. The transmission offers driver-adaptive shifting, with three

multiple clutch packs and a dual-stage hydraulic pump. All contribute to superb road manners and

impressive hauling dynamics, with the addition of dual filters to help protect the pump and other

components. An independent lubrication cooler ensures ample pressure under all conditions.

The available transfer cases for HEMI V8-powered Ram Heavy Duty models are the same as

those utilized by the Cummins

IMPRESSIVE FROM THE GET-GO.

The engineering that went into the new Pentastar® V6 warrants serious attention. The engine utilizes an abundance of new technologies and engineering dynamics, all of them developed to get the most out of every drop of gas.

Here, highway mileage is second to none. The new 2013 Ram 1500 powered by the available Pentastar V6 and new TorqueFlite best-in-class

The new pulse-width-modulated fuel pump and cooling fan operate only at the levels required by the engine — not some predetermined rate that slurps, not sips, fuel. The engineering improves vehicle efficiency by conserving electrical energy, and increases fuel pump life because it isn’t constantly running at full capacity.

A new brings internal engine and transmission temperatures to optimal operating points faster, and maintains them longer — again, a real contribution to achieving excellent fuel efficiency.

The Pentastar V6 application in Ram 1500 vastly improves overall capability, bringing to our commercial portfolio new strength in the market: Ram first 4x4 power, now backed with the dynamics of V6 efficiency.

All-new for 2013 — and available with both the Pentastar V6 and the 5.7-liter HEMI is the critically lauded new TorqueFlite 8-speed a

utomatic transmission — the first 8-speed automatic

in a commercial-grade pickup truck.

Operation of the T

orqueFlite 8-speed is completely electronic. It’s engineering that calls for new thinking — and new ease of operation; we achieved that goal with an all-new Rotary Shifter to replace the previous conventional shifter

The new Rotary Shifter is dashboard-mounted for

at-your-fingertip ease of operation. All functional shifting of gears is retained — for example, the backand-forth rocking sometimes needed to get out of deep snow, or the up-and-down shifting needed to control towing — and is easier than ever. The shifter is subtle, intuitive, and completely responsive.

Transfer case operation (if so equipped) is now located

in the same dashboard-mounted area, just below the new Rotary Shifter.

For a more refined operation, new Ram 1500 models equipped with the TorqueFlite 8-speed now utilize convenient steering wheel-mounted buttons for manual gear range selection — engineering focused on offering the greatest control when towing and hauling heavy loads.

2013 Ram 2500/3500 Heavy Duty pickups amply demonstrate how these workhorses handle tough

We studied the aerodynamics and exterior — and then we made nearly vertical walls that allow a wide variety of aftermarket upfit packages.

POWER AND TORQUE CLINCH THE DEAL.

Cargo-carrying leadership is important — but towing and hauling are often part and parcel of the assignments. The Flex Fuel-capable Pentastar V6 generates 283 horsepower for competent acceleration under load; add 260 lb-ft of torque,

nd you’re masterfully handling trailers and big payloads.
