Chrysler has recently unveiled the new Ram 2500 and 3500 Heavy Duty pickups at the Texas State Fair.
According to the North American carmaker, the models come with some features such as auto rain-sensing wipers, SmartBeam headlights and tailgate power locks. There’s also a new diesel exhaust after-treatment, an optional 8.4-inch display and a RamBox cargo management system.
Motivation is provided by a standard 5.7-liter V8 engine with 383 hp and 542 Nm of torque, mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission. In addition, three versions of the 6.7-liter Cummins turbodiesel inline-six engine are offered as options. The first version is mated to a 6-speed manual transmission, producing 350 hp and 881 Nm of torque. The second version is paired with a 68RFE six-speed automatic transmission, offering 370 hp and 1,084 Nm of torque. Lastly, the upgraded Cummins is linked with a new Aisin 6-speed automatic transmission, delivering 385 hp and 1,152 Nm of torque.
The pickups are expected to be available in early next year and pricing will be released later this year.
