Front suspension is now courtesy of a 3-link system.
The Ram 3500 utilizes a Hotchkiss leaf-spring rear suspension, while 2500s have replaced leaf springs with a 5-link coil spring setup. In 4-wheel-drive models, a front-axle disconnect system can help improve fuel economy by up to 1 mpg. Also thanks to a variable-geometry turbocharger, Ram HD trucks have good responsiveness and drivability no matter what the load.Ram HDs can be ordered with either rear-wheel drive or 4-wheel drive. Diesel Rams employ a Ram Active Air intake system that draws more cool air from the front of the truck for more power in hot temperatures or at high altitude. The 5.7L, meanwhile, can be outfitted from the factory to run on compressed natural gas. High-pressure common-rail fuel injection helps aid refinement and clean up emissions, and the Cummins is B20 biodiesel-blend compatible. In Ram 3500 trucks with the top-duty Aisin automatic, it makes 385 horsepower and a staggering 865 pound-feet of torque. When mated to the 6-speed automatic transmission, output jumps to 370 horsepower and 800 pound-feet of torque. With the 6-speed manual, the Cummins is rated at 350 horsepower and 660 pound-feet of torque at just 1,500 rpm. The 6.4L Hemi V8 makes 410 horsepower and 429 pound-feet of torque. The 5.7L Hemi is rated at 383 horsepower and 400 pound-feet of torque.
#Ram pressure review manual#
All engines include a 6-speed automatic transmission, although a 6-speed manual transmission is offered with the diesel engine. Across the HD range, there's a choice between gasoline engines in the standard 5.7L and 6.4L Hemi V8s as well as three versions of the 6.7L Cummins inline 6-cylinder diesel that top the range. Ram's powerful 25 Heavy-Duty (HD) trucks return for 2016 with even more to like.
