Maneuverability, Safety & Security

Dodge Ram Chassis Cabs have the largest brake rotors in their class[1] to stop them in their tracks. They also feature a four-wheel Antilock Brake System (ABS), which optimizes safety and enhances performance by preventing wheel lockup during hard braking situations and maintaining steering control on slick surfaces. A class-exclusive[2], factory-installed integrated exhaust brake provides better driving control, as well as stopping safety and confidence when hauling heavy loads on downhill grades. Despite Chassis Cabs' size, a turning radius as small as 40.1 feet makes them maneuverable.

For extra passenger safety, Dodge Ram Chassis Cabs come with standard advanced multistage driver and front-passenger airbags[3] and available supplemental side-curtain airbags[3]. Crumple zones and side-impact door beams provide structural safety.
