The 2019 Ram Heavy Duty Makes a Ridiculous 1,000 Lb-Ft of Torque

LINK

In the American muscle car world, horsepower is king (see the new Shelby GT500 rumors), but in the heavy-duty truck world, bragging rights are all about torque. And in that area, Ram does not like to lose, which is why the 2019 Ram Heavy Duty makes a ridiculous 1,000 lb-ft of torque.

That’s the figure on the 400 horsepower 6.7-liter high-output Cummins engine, which offers the full grand worth of torque at 1,800 RPM, and 15 ponies more than last year’s model. It helps the Ram 3500 increase its towing capacity to 35,100 pounds, and gives it a payload rating as high as 7,680 pounds.

Now that you got 35k rolling you’re going to need to stop it. May have to stick your foot out the door to help slow down.

Gas is cheap

What about the transmission. That's Ram's Achilles heel.

Impressive.....but what is going to be more impressive is the size of the TRUCK NUTZ that bad boy will need to pack around. I'm thinking soccer ball size at a minimum.

They used to be, that I know. I think the 2012+ have been much more reliable.
