Exterior Styling

As tough as it gets.

From job to job, your reputation rolls with you. You want your trucks to look their best so you can stand out from the competition. Ram Chassis Cabs have classic big-rig styling that’s both polished and practical. They feature available folding chrome mirrors, a chrome crosshair grille for improved engine cooling, an easy-to-upfit frame, and a louvered hood with a tall, engine-accommodating bulge. For extra flair, opt for the polished aluminum wheels.

The most important tool for any job.

Interior Styling

The most comfortable part of your day.

When you’re having a hard day on the job, it’s nice to have a truck that takes it easy on you. Ram Chassis Cab interiors feature an array of available comforts that give you some relief from whatever’s going on outside of their triple-sealed doors. And we know you care about craftsmanship. So from the soft-touch materials on the instrument panel and door trim to the detailed stitching on the seats, you’ll find our attention to detail throughout the cabin.

The Crew Cab model even comes with seating for six, four full-size doors, under-seat storage plus six more inches of legroom than the previous Quad Cab®.

Storage

A truckload of storage.

Ram Chassis Cab trucks offer tons of versatile storage features to help you keep your business organized. Up front there's an available armrest center console with a 12-volt power outlet and available upper and lower glove boxes. And in the back, you'll find armrest drink holders, a 60/40 spilt folding backseat with under-seat storage bins with lids.

It never needs a day off.

Proven Cummins® power has been a jobsite regular for years because it's durable, efficient, quiet and clean. Meanwhile, the available HEMI® engine outpaces the competition with Best-in-Class horsepower+. And who couldn't use a little extra strength? Ram Chassis Cabs offer your choice of engine and transmission options. So you can configure the best powertrain for your business.

Electronic Range Select

Electronic Range Select

Automatic transmissions feature Electronic Range Select, which allows the driver to manually limit the highest available transmission gear, thereby allowing manual up-shifts and downshifts based on road speed and engine speed.

Tow/Haul Mode

Tow/Haul Mode

Another automatic transmission feature, Tow/Haul Mode improves vehicle performance and efficiency while minimizing engine noise during trailer towing or heavy-load hauling. When Tow/Haul mode is selected, a revised shift schedule is used to provide more power and reduce transmission shift changes and "gear hunting."

Towing & Payload

The ultimate pulling power.

In the face of a heavy load, these trucks aren’t timid. They handle the weight like a pro, just like they were built to do. And to make a tough job look easy, all models come with an industry standard seven-pin wiring harness. The Ram 4500 and Ram 5500 models also feature Best-in-Class+ front-end tow hooks. So you can get the job done and move on to the next one. All day long.

Gross Axle Weight Ratings

Gross Axle Weight Ratings

2012 Ram Chassis Cab trucks feature rear axles with standard limited-slip differentials that have been built for competitive load carrying capability and durability. Ram 4500 and Ram 5500 models utilize a Dana Spicer® S111 series single-drive axle that provides a higher rear GAWR. Five axle ratios are available for you to choose from.

Trailer harness connector

Trailer harness connector

The seven-pin trailer harness connector, standard on all Ram Chassis Cab models, eliminates dangling wires and makes it easier to connect your trailer.

Upfitting

Designed to be customized.

Ram Chassis Cab frames are engineered to make upfitting easy — without the extensive modifications other trucks need. The 2012 Ram models feature the same proven, flat frame rail that’ll work with your current upfit. They also feature smart electrical provisions that simplify upfit wiring, an available midship fuel tank, and a Diesel Exhaust Fluid tank that’s situated away from upfit zones. These valuable details means your custom build will be ready to work for you faster.

Built-In Upfitter Switches

Built-In Upfitter Switches

Four upfitter switches are integrated into the instrument panel, making it easy to control accessories and eliminating the need to install extra switches in the cabin. Each switch is capable of running 40-amp loads using 12-gauge wires (continuous) and a dedicated under-hood Power Distribution Center.

Power Takeoff Capability

Power Takeoff Capability

A Power Takeoff (PTO) unit is an available gearbox that attaches to the side of the transmission to power upfits like dump bodies, aerial buckets and other tandem pump-powered accessories. Ram Chassis Cabs boast an impressive available PTO capacity of 35 horsepower and 135 lb-ft of torque. It features a locking torque converter and programmable set speed for convenience and safety.

Efficiency

Proven power ‘til the end of the road. And then some.

Ram Chassis Cab trucks feature a standard 52-gallon fuel tank, giving them Best-in-Class standard single fuel tank capacity+ and a serious long distance range between fill-ups. An auxiliary fuel port provides easy connections for auxiliary fuel-driven power sources. The available 22-gallon midship auxiliary tank better accommodates rollback carrier upfits.

Jobsite Idling

The Cummins® Turbo Diesel engine is the only diesel engine that meets stringent Air Resource Board emissions standards for all 50 states. That means your truck is allowed to idle indefinitely at a jobsite while you take advantage of its HVAC and electrical features. The competition can't say the same.

Protection

A four-wheel fortress.

Ram Chassis Cabs are built with more than 25 Safety and Security features to protect your most valuable assets — your crew, your cargo and your truck. In addition to the standard system of airbags+, we’ve incorporated dynamic front crumple zones and side-impact door beams built right into the body cage. These areas absorb forces to maintain the integrity of the passenger cabin in the event of an accident.

Protection

Accident Avoidance

Stopping power you can count on.

When you’re running a business, you’ve got enough to think about without worrying about your brakes. Rest assured, your Ram Chassis Cab has stopping power. In fact, these trucks have the largest brake rotors and calipers in their class+, helping them offer a Best-in-Class+ combination of reduced brake pad wear, brake fade resistance, and exhaust brake performance. So no matter what the conditions or how heavy the load, you can drive — and stop — with confidence.

Integrated Trailer Brake Controller

Integrated Trailer Brake Controller

The available integrated Trailer Brake Controller allows you to automatically or manually activate the electronic or hydraulic brakes on properly equipped trailers for greater stopping power on downhill grades. The controller and status display are mounted on the dashboard and include a control lever that can activate the trailer brakes independent of the truck's brakes.
