The 2008 Dodge Medium-Duty Ram 4500 and 5500 chassis cabs feature a 6.7-litre Cummins Turbo Diesel engine (610 lb-ft. of torque) standard with six-speed automatic or manual transmission. These trucks also feature a large 52-gallon fuel tank and a standard diesel exhaust brake system, as well as a commercial-grade frame (50,000 psi steel) for strength and reduced weight. Other key features of the 2008 include: 390-mm front brake rotors; 66-mm caliper pistons; a flat, “clean” frame rail for facilitated after-market upfits and retrofits; and stain, odour and anti-static seat fabric.
