Ram Heavy Duty pickups dominated in the task-specific
ratings that defined job-rated capability . Now they have the
boldness to advance that concept into 21
st
-century thinking.
New maximum ratings boost long-established strengths to new
levels, delivering bigger payloads and tougher towing numbers.
The newly increased GVWRs (Gross Vehicle Weight Ratings)
are helped by the indomitable Cummins
®
powerplants. New
2013 Ram 2500 with the available 6.7L Cummins Turbo
Diesel vaults maximum GVWR up to 10,000 lb* — serious
muscle to meet recreational needs and commercial assignments.
On new Ram 3500 dually, the new maximum GVWR jumps
to 14,000 lb * — a heavy-duty ideal for all push/pull/
haul/do requirements.
It gets better. On new Ram 3500 Heavy Duty, a higher front
axle weight rating joins a beefed-up frame, with steel now rated
at 50 ksi. Maximum capability in front is ideal for snowplows or
hydraulic front-mounted machinery. When it comes to meeting
the need, the new max capability figures show that we’re ready
for it all. New Ram Heavy Duty 2500 and 3500 pickups.
* When properly equipped. Properly secure all cargo.
