The Best Work Tool Since The Jackhammer RAM
Coupled with a number of Authentic Ram Accessories by Mopar®, the Ram Heavy Duty puts you firmly in control, especially with big or bulky towing loads. Ram’s towing dominance begins with its standard 5.7-liter HEMI® V-8, delivering 383 hp at 5,600 rpm, and 400 lb-ft of torque at 4,000 rpm. Or for extreme power and performance, there’s the available 6.7-liter Cummins® Turbo Diesel, with up to 650 lb-ft of torque.
How you use all that power is completely up to you. Punch up the Tow/Haul Mode and the transmission automatically reprograms for more efficient hauling, with less gear hunting and automatic downshifts when decelerating. Or, take complete control with Electronic Range Select and manually select the gear you feel is best for the safest driving in the current road and weather conditions.
Ram Heavy Duty gives you greater flexibility when braking too. Once you use the class-exclusive(1) exhaust brake — standard in all diesel models — stopping power won’t be a worry. But sometimes sheer muscle alone isn’t enough. The Integrated Trailer Brake Controller puts you in direct control of your trailer’s electric brakes, giving you command over the entire rig.
Authentic Ram Accessories by Mopar make linking up less of a hassle. The Gooseneck Trailer Hitch attaches directly to the frame rails and has a quick-release handle that will return the bed floor to level within seconds. New for 2010 is the Fifth-Wheel Hitch. With a gargantuan 16,000-lb capacity and 80 degrees of turning radius, it allows for great maneuvering in and out of the tightest spots. Complete your hookup with a Bed-Mount Wiring Harness, designed to accommodate the most common wiring configurations. Once you head out, Trailer Tow Mirrors make sure you have a good view all the way around.
Chances are, you’re not hauling big loads around for the heck of it. So once you get to the work site, Ram Accessories make it easier to get the job done. Roll landscaping and construction equipment down the lightweight aluminum Cargo Ramps, then fold ’em up for storage. The retractable Bed Step helps you easily climb into the bed. Keep everything in place with a steel or aluminum Ladder Rack and sturdy Diamond Plate Toolbox and cover it all up with a hard or soft Tonneau Cover. All are made explicitly for the new Ram Heavy Duty, so you won’t need to be drilling holes in your truck where holes shouldn’t be.Just because you’re on the job doesn’t mean you can let things coast at the office. UconnectTM keeps you in contact with everyone at any time. Connect to the Web at 3G broadband speeds via an internal router that allows multiple passengers to surf the Web, check eMail, and more (subscription required; sold separately). Connect to your Bluetooth® compatible cell phone and use Address Sync to call anyone in your address book just by saying — or yelling — their name. In fact, with a simple voice command you can select a whole slew of useful items, including radio stations, navigation destinations and cell phone. You’re the boss in this truck. And Uconnect will never, ever argue with you.
Fortified from grille to tailgate, the 2010 Ram Heavy Duty takes capability to insane levels. Whether you’re hauling with the Regular, Crew Cab or Mega Cab® model, Ram can turn anyone into a total control freak. Look for all the latest Ram Heavy Duty Accessories coming soon at mopar.com.
