For the past several years, Ram owners have been asking the truck brand to offer a more luxurious offering to it’s popular Heavy Duty Chassis Cab lineup. With the truck market growing larger every year, there was a need for a Ram Heavy Duty Chassis Cab model that could provide a luxury level offering to those who need a heavy hauler to tow a $100,000 horse trailer to shows, a luxury offshore powerboat or a large car hauler for those who race on the weekends.

Well Ram has listened and with the launch of the new much more luxurious 2019 Ram 2500/3500 Heavy Duty pickups, the truck maker has decided to launch the 2019 Ram Heavy Duty Chassis Cabs with a new luxurious Limited trim level. Yes, for the first time Chassis Cab buyers can option their 3500/4500/5500 Chassis Cab truck with the same options that the top-level Ram Heavy Duty pickups have.
The standard engine in the 2019 Ram 3500/4500/5500 Chassis Cab is the proven and potent 6.4-liter HEMI V-8 with up to 410 horsepower and 429 lb.-ft. of torque. The Ram 3500 Chassis Cab now employs exclusive Fuel Saver Technology cylinder deactivation to increase fuel economy. When the engine is paired with the optional Aisin AS66RC six-speed automatic transmission with Power Take-Off (PTO), Fuel Saver Technology functions under light load while in stationary PTO mode to reduce fuel consumption.
In the Ram 4500 and 5500 Chassis Cab, the 6.4-liter HEMI V-8, paired with the Aisin AS66RC electronically controlled 6-speed automatic transmission with optional Power Take-Off (PTO) capability, delivers 370 horsepower and 429 lb.-ft. of torque.
A new cast-iron cylinder head builds on the new block with changes that include new exhaust valves and springs, and new rocker arms driven by a hollow camshaft, contributing to the weight savings. Changes to the Cummins Turbo Diesel also include a new oil pump and water pump with lightweight-aluminum housing.
