United Cars Almana is showcasing the Ram 2500 Heavy-Duty truck, pictured, which can move ‘more weight than any competitor while enjoying best-in-class ride and handling.’
“Ram is the only automaker to back its heavy-duty towing claims using SAE J2807 testing criteria,” said Marco Tronchi, CEO and managing director, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) Middle East.
“The Ram 2500 is large, roomy and comfortable with plenty of storage spaces in the dash,” said Gurdeep Singh Multani, general manager, United Cars Almana.
With FCA’s 6.4-litre HEMI V8, the Ram 2500 Heavy-Duty delivers best-in-class horsepower and torque among pickups with gasoline engines. The 16-valve engine churns out 410hp (306 kW) at 5,600 rpm with a peak torque rating of 429lb-ft (582 Nm), at 4,000 rpm.
It features a frame built with high-strength 50,000 psi steel, including eight separate cross-members, hydroformed main rails and fully boxed rear rails for optimal strength and mass efficiency.
Chassis controls ensure reduced noise, vibration and harshness measurements and improve ride and handling characteristics.
Centre frame rail sections are roll-formed, an efficient means for maintaining consistent strength in less complex longitudinal sections. In the rear portion of the frame, the structure includes fully boxed rear rails.
Loaded or unloaded, the 5-link coil system provides best-in-class ride and handling by incorporating support at all major points of force and resisting unwanted axle rotation. Additionally, the Ram 2500 offers a rear air suspension system for automatic load levelling and greater versatility.
In the front, there is an advanced three-link front suspension to ensure roll stiffness. Roll stiffness, also known as body roll, is measured by the amount the truck’s body tips side-to-side, independently of the wheels, during cornering.
The Ram 2500 Heavy-Duty features a factory-installed seven-pin trailer tow connector in the truck bed, included with the optional fifth wheel or gooseneck tow prep
package.
Ram features a standard Class 5 receiver hitch with four- and seven-pin connectors on the bumper. A tailgate handle-mounted, rear high-definition camera backup system is available with dynamic imaging in the 8.4-inch
display.
Also, the cargo-view camera located in the centre high-mounted stop light provides a view of the bed for easier connection to fifth wheel or gooseneck trailers as well as monitoring bed loads.
The Ram 2500 Heavy-Duty is backed with a five-year/100,000-mile Powertrain Limited Warranty that covers the cost of all parts and labour needed to repair a covered powertrain component - engine, transmission and drive system. The warranty is also transferable, allowing customers who sell their truck during the warranty period to pass the coverage on to the new owner. The standard five-year/36,000-mile Basic Limited Warranty provides bumper-to-bumper coverage for the Ram Heavy Duty, from the body to the electrical system.
