NEW 2011 RAM 3500, 4500 AND 5500 CHASSIS CABS
DELIVER COMPLETE COMMERCIAL PACKAGE
Ram continues to enhance its commercial presence with the introduction of a “new crew” of
commercial-grade work trucks: the new 2011 Ram 3500, 4500 and 5500 Chassis Cabs. Led by
an all-new crew cab, the new 2011 Ram 3500, 4500 and 5500 Chassis Cabs are built on a proven
frame and chassis and engineered for maximum uptime, optimum performance and enhanced
commercial capability.
Ram 3500, 4500 and 5500 Chassis Cabs compete within the Class 3-5 segments with a Gross
Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) of 10,200 to 19,500 lbs. and are targeted at small-business
tradesmen, fleet customers and traditional chassis cab users.
The 2011 Ram 3500, 4500 and 5500 Chassis Cabs offer best-in-class fuel economy (Ram
4500/5500), the largest standard fuel tank (52 gallons), largest front-brake rotors (390 mm) and
calipers (66 mm) on the 4500/5500, and a standard diesel-exhaust brake.
Offered in regular cab, crew cab, single-rear-wheel (3500 only) and dual-rear-wheel models, four
cab-axle lengths (60, 84, 108 and 120 inches) are available for 4500/5500 models and two
cab-axle lengths (60 and 84 inches) are offered for the 3500 model. Three trim levels are offered:
ST, SLT and Laramie.
The 2011 Ram 3500 models feature two axles with three axle ratios (3.42, 3.73 and 4.10) and
17-inch wheels while Ram 4500/5500 models have one axle with three axle ratios (4.10, 4.44 and
4.88) and 19.5-inch wheels. All Ram Chassis Cab models are “Job-rated,” meaning they are
designed, engineered, tested and built to meet rigid standards of commercial truck buyers.
Improved standard features include a six-speed manual transmission, increased GVWR (13,000
lbs. from 12,500 lbs. on 3500 diesel model), an Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC)
integrated into the instrument cluster, four upfitter switches, increased alternator size on diesel
(180 amps), automatic headlamps, an upgraded HEMI engine, and second-row headrests and rear
heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) ducts.
