Ram has Raised the Stakes with the Ram HD

The Ram HD lineup is now able to be powered by an engine that can produce 1000 lb.-ft. of torque to give you incredible towing power.

Every area of the automotive market shows several models competing for the same customers. In the heavy-duty pickup truck class, the Ram team has thrown down the gauntlet to give us a look at a new set of trucks that can offer you a massive amount of power.

More than Just Power for the Ram

Whether you choose the Ram 2500 or the Ram 3500, you’re going to realize the new Ram pickup trucks are offered with more plush interior qualities and technology for the drive you want when you head out on the road. The modern application of comfort and technology will make you feel like you’re driving a truck that’s much smaller than what the Ram HD models happen to offer you when you get behind the wheel for the ride. This is a great way for you to be able to mix work and pleasure in one amazing package.

The Right Powertrains for the Ram HD Trucks

Ram has redone the lineup of powertrains you can choose for the heavy-duty trucks you choose for 2019. The 5.7-liter V8 engine is gone from the mix leaving the 6.4-liter Hemi V8 as the base model to give you 410 horsepower and 429 lb.-ft. of torque. This engine is attached to a strong ZF eight-speed automatic transmission for the drive. This is the only gasoline option you have for the ride in the truck that you want when you head out on the road in a truck fueled by gasoline.

There are two versions of the 6.7-liter Cummins diesel engine offered to make sure you can have the right power level for your Ram HD. The base version gives you 370 horsepower and 850 lb.-ft. of torque to be a strong place to start with diesel. This engine is attached to a strong six-speed automatic transmission for the drive. The upgraded diesel engine brings you 400 horsepower and 1,000 lb.-ft. of torque while being attached to an Aisin six-speed automatic transmission that will handle the power delivery needed to let you move the heaviest load you can think of with this truck.

An Upgraded Frame for the Ram HD

The new frames used for the 2019 Ram HD models are built from the ground up to give you an extensive use of high-strength steel. When we say extensive, this frame is made of 98.5 percent of this material to give you a lighter frame that’s stronger than it was in the past.

This new build is mated to improved axles to offer enhanced capability and durability for the drive. The 3500 has leaf springs while the 2500 model keeps the coil setup that’s similar to the lighter model of the Ram. The aluminum hood on the front of the Ram HD is about 25 pounds lither than the old steel model.

Acceleration Makes it Fun in this Truck

The power offered for the Ram HD trucks makes it easy for you to get this big truck and a long trailer moving without any problem. Even with a truck that has nearly 20,000 pounds inside the Ram 3500 is able to get up to speed quickly and offer you the control and the drive you’re looking for when you head out on the road. You’re going to admire the power offered when you take this incredible truck out for a drive.
