It’s interesting they mention dual 400 amp alternators and 4.10 gears for the 6.4 hemi.

It sounds like it’s essentially just a package: basically a 4x4 ccsb tradesman with Hemi 6.4, packaged with 4.10s, dual alternators, vsim, aux switches, 18s, and skid plate. It may have specific spring rates, but they don’t mention it so maybe not…I feel like that’s something they would mention if applicable.

If you want to see the vehicles tested and the data...The Ram 2500 probably wont be picked.

Thanks for the info and link to the testing. I did just a quick scan and the testing method is kind of biased toward a specific vehicle type vs what police officers and safety / support really need for some types of tasks. For instance they completely disregard the back seat needs.

I need to learn some more about that test track of what makes it so difficult.

It is interesting that it has dual alternators on the Hemi.

If they are going after that market, they either need to offer a turbo gas engine, hybrid or use the cummins diesel.

A SRW 5500 might have been a better path to really take it to a different level.
