    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 diesel emissions standards for low NOx on medium-duty trucks. 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.
