Cummins® Diesel Efficiency

Fuel economy is on everyone's mind these days, and Dodge Ram 5500 Chassis Cab has made it a priority. The results are a big win for you and your business. In addition to having best-in-class standard fuel tank capacity[1], Ram 5500 Chassis Cab with the 6.7-liter Cummins® Turbo Diesel Engine is 14 percent more fuel efficient than Ford F-550 and 23 percent more than Chevy Kodiak 5500[2]. When it comes to fuel economy, or anything in business, there's no arguing with the numbers.

    Jobsite idling

    Dodge Ram 4500 and 5500 Chassis Cabs have low enough emissions that they can idle indefinitely at a jobsite, letting you use their HVAC and electrical features. This is because Dodge Ram 4500 and 5500 Chassis Cabs meet the 2008 Air Resource Board's state diesel emissions standards for medium-duty trucks (which includes CA, CT, DE, GA, ME, NJ, NY, NC, PA and TX). So you can let your truck idle while Ford and GM owners have to automatically shut down after idling five minutes or risk fines in these states.
