Ram Commercial Announces 2016 Chassis Cab Lineup Offering Most Available PTO Options

NTEA News

Ram Commercial  announced its 2016 Ram 3500, 4500 and 5500 Chassis Cab trucks will answer the call of flexibility by offering the most Power Take-off (PTO) options.

Additionally, Ram Chassis Cab trucks offer a best-in-class 60 horsepower of PTO output. Of course reaching 60 horsepower is no problem for the 6.7-liter Cummins. Ram also holds the title with our 6.4-liter HEMI V-8 gas engine while using four cylinder mode. “Fuel Saver Technology” in the 6-4 HEMI creates greater efficiencies while on a job site with the ability to run a compressor and generator simultaneously off the PTO.

“Ram Commercial has gained ground through innovation and by listening to owners,” said Dave Sowers – head of Ram Commercial. “By offering exclusive features and through constant improvement we continue our role as most upfitter friendly and Ram’s record sales are proof we’re making customers happy.”

Ram’s most capable truck line focuses on delivering best-in-class capability and best-in-class total cost of ownership — a leading purchase reason among business owners.

The data speaks for itself with best-in-class Gross Combined Weight Ratings (GCWR) of 37,500 pounds, best-in-class towing capability of 29,600 pounds and best-in-class frame strength provided by 50,000 psi steel.

All configurations of Chassis Cab can be ordered with a staggering dual fuel tank capacity of 74-gallons, which delivers the highest fuel storage and drive range in the segments. More fuel means more run time and improved total cost of ownership — in some models more than 1,000 miles of operation.

2016 Ram Chassis Cab trucks can be ordered with an optional ParkSense Package, which now includes a new front park assist system. This exclusive feature further enhances safe operation and complements the current backup camera offering. The feature improves total cost of ownership and reduces potential damage by audibly notifying the driver of oncoming contact.

Handsfree driving is a must and Ram Chassis Cab trucks offer the latest infotainment technology. For 2016, a new lower cost radio option is available with Bluetooth connectivity.

The Ram Commercial Truck brand will continue to expand its presence in the vocation truck segment by enhancing the capabilities of Ram’s Tradesman series of trucks from half-ton to Class 5, establishing a network of 950 commercially focused dealers, expanding commercial and vocational marketing efforts and leveraging Fiat Professional to bring proven commercial vans to North America.
