The 2009 Dodge Ram powertrain lineup offers improved fuel economy, and more power, torque and refinement than ever before. Engines available in these new models include the 390-hp 5.7-litre HEMI, flex-fuel 4.7-litre and 3.7-litre gasoline engines. The 2009 Dodge Ram Heavy Duty models (with current 2008 design) are available with either the 5.7-litre HEMI or the 6.7-litre Cummins tur-bodiesel engine, which already achieves 2010 NOx emission standards. The 2009 Dodge Ram is offered in regular cab, Quad Cab and crew-size cab, with three box lengths: 8-foot (regular cab), 6-foot-4-inches (regular cab and Quad Cab), and a new-for-2009 box length of 5-foot-7-inches (crew cab). An improved frame design incorporating high-strength steel and supports an all-new, first-in-segment, multi-link coil spring rear suspension that improves ride and handling characteristics without sac-rificing payload (up to 1,850 pounds) and towing capability (up to 9,100 pounds).
