Exterior Styling

Big, strong, reliable. Basically, your employee of the year.

Ram Heavy Duty trucks are designed with big-rig styling. These trucks impress with more than just towing and payload, thanks to features like available chrome mirrors and door handles, available chrome-clad wheels, a tall, aerodynamic louvered hood to accommodate the available legendary 6.7L Cummins® Turbo Diesel engine and a signature Ram crosshair grille with black or chrome billet.

box rail caps

Box Rail Caps

When you’re on the job, you don’t have time to gently load up your cargo box so you don’t scratch the paint. That’s where the standard box rail caps come in. They cover the top of the rails to reduce blemishing and scratching and have openings for cargo tie-down hooks.

tailgate lift assist

Tailgate Lift Assist

Tailgate lift assist makes it easier to load and unload cargo. It reduces the effort required to both lower and raise the tailgate, thanks to a tension-releasing torsion bar inside.

Interior Styling

Relax in comfort. Just don’t forget to focus on the road too.

Ram Heavy Duty trucks offer many available comforts and conveniences so you can relax during a long day on the road. Detailed craftsmanship can be seen all around in features like the upgraded interior with a soft-touch instrument panel and door trim, available two-tone upholstery plus detailed stitching on the seats and throughout the cabin.

Storage

The more room, the merrier.

Ram Heavy Duty trucks are available in three cab configurations including a Crew Cab configuration. Their roomy seating and versatile storage features rival the utility of their cavernous cargo boxes.

It’s waterproof, drainable and when it’s not full of tools and equipment, it’ll fit over 200 cans of your favorite beverage. Even with the cargo box fully loaded, the RamBox Cargo Management System is always accessible.

Hydro–formed frames.

Ram Heavy Duty Trucks are built with sturdy hydro–formed frames (the stiffest in Ram truck history) and capable four–wheel drive options to handle the toughest jobsite terrain. To smooth out the ride, fluid–filled hydro–mounts on the cab help isolate the cabin from the road.

Protection

Airbags Safety Cage Hydroformed Frame
  • Airbags
  • Safety Cage
  • Hydroformed Frame

We put safety first, second, third and fourth.

Being protected on the way to work is just as important as jobsite safety. In fact, the new 2012 Ram Heavy Duty has 25 Safety and Security features. Front and side airbags+ offer impact protection, while crumple zones and side-impact door beams provide structural safety.

Accident Avoidance

With a powerful vehicle like this,
the power to stop is as important as any feature.

A truck as big and powerful as Ram Heavy Duty needs large brakes. That’s why we go big on our brake pistons and calipers, and why our brake pads cover a wide surface area. This allows you to stop with confidence and ensures longer intervals between brake jobs. The standard four-wheel Antilock Brake System helps prevent wheel lockup and the standard tire pressure monitoring system lets you know when a tire is low. Running lamps mount on the roof to help increase your truck's visibility.

The camera is located near the tailgate handle on the rear of the vehicle, giving you an extra-wide view, whether you’re backing into a spot or hitching up a trailer.

 

ParkSense

The available ParkSense® Rear Park Assist System+ detects nearby obstacles in and near the rear path of the vehicle to help you maneuver in tight spaces at parking speeds. The four bumper-mounted sensors emit ultrasonic sound waves to a distance of six feet, and provide an audible warning tone.
