First 2016 Ram 3500 HD Rolls Off the Line: Job 1 [Preview] - The Fast Lane

The first 2016 Ram HD rolls off the assembly line and it is the largest and most powerful configuration: Megacab dually in Laramie Longhorn trim. Most notably, it’s the 900 lb-ft of torque from the high-output I6 Cummins turbo-diesel in the Ram 3500 HD. Ram is the first to reach the 900 pound-feet of torque mark from a factory tuned engine in a pickup truck. The 2016 Ram HD in regular cab ad 2WD configuration is rated at a maximum towing rating of 31,210 lbs. Ram’s Gross Combined Weight Rating (GCWR) goes up to 39,100 pounds, which is lower than the 40,400 lbs on the F-450. It will be difficult to find a trailer and a load to max out these trucks. You can be sure that TFLtruck will test the updated 2016 Ram HD the proper way with a heavy load. I thought this was stated at FCA’s announcement with the CEO of Ram,and Ram chief engineer at the media day at the Chelsea proving grounds,on the 2016 Ram 2500,3500. It truly is the best design and all this with DEF,EGR systems as well,amazing. Well, whether it was built by sweat shop workers in China or wherever, the Ram diesel HDs are the best HDs in the market. The GM HDs are nice, but it’s been already shown that they can’t keep up with the Rams and Fords when it comes to heavy hauling. Source: www.tfltruck.com
