Among the new features of the all-new Chassis Cab are more interior storage; more rear-seat crew cab legroom; full-size rear crew cab doors; standard power door locks and windows; and quick access to engine hours, transmission temperature, oil temperature, and emission system information.

Ram also enhanced the Chassis Cab's capability by increasing axle ratings and gross vehicle ratings, yet retained the same proven chassis and powertrain. Other features include integrated auxiliary switches, single-set power take-off (PTO) speed, and torque converter lockup in PTO mode.

The all-new 2011 Ram 3500 Chassis Cab comes standard with the 5.7L HEMI V-8 gasoline engine, delivering a best-in-class 383 horsepower (286 kW) at 5,600 rpm and 400 lb.-ft. of torque (542 N*m) at 4,000 rpm.

Standard on 4500 and 5500 models and available on the 3500 is the 6.7L Cummins turbodiesel engine with 305 horsepower (224 kW) at 3,000 rpm and 610 lb.-ft. of torque (827 N*m) at only 1,600 rpm. The 6.7L Cummins turbodiesel is available with no year-over-year price increase.

The Ram Chassis Cab is the only vehicle in its segment to offer a manual six-speed transmission, standard on all diesel models. Ram Chassis Cabs also feature the largest standard fuel tank in the segment - 52 gallons - providing increased uptime.

All Ram Chassis Cab models are available in two cab styles, including regular cab and the all-new, full-size crew cab. Three trim levels are available (ST, SLT, Laramie) with all-new exterior and interior styling based on the Ram 1500 and Ram 2500 and 3500 heavy-duty pickups.
