One of the cornerstones of the Ram Chassis Cab lineup is its awesome towing capacity, boasting a class-leading 35,220 pounds (15,976 kilograms) and Gross Combined Weight Ratings of 43,000 pounds (19,504 kilograms). This extraordinary towing prowess underscores the Chassis Cab’s ability to easily tackle even the most demanding tasks.

Under the hood, the 6.7-liter Cummins Turbo Diesel I-6 engine takes center stage, delivering a formidable 360 horsepower and an impressive 800 lb.-ft. of torque. This powertrain combination represents the highest available torque in Class 4 and 5, ensuring that the Ram Chassis Cab is more than up to the challenge.
