The 6.4-liter HEMI V8 kicks off the engines list, rated at 410 horsepower in the 3500 and 370 horsepower in the 4500 and 5500. Featuring 429 pound-feet of torque, the aspirated eight-cylinder also comes with cylinder deactivation to save fuel whenever possible.

12,510 pounds is the maximum cargo capacity, and the 5500 has a combined weight rating of 43,000 pounds. The pièce de résistance comes in the guise of the 6.7-liter Cummins turbo diesel, tuned to 360 horsepower and 800 pound-feet. Connected to a six-speed automatic instead of an eight-speed, the inline-six is available even on the Tradesman.

Further up the range, the 2019 Ram Chassis Cab is available in SLT, Laramie, and Limited trim levels. 3.5- and 7.0-inch driver information cluster displays are offered, along with the 12-inch Uconnect touchscreen infotainment system.

Arriving at dealers in the second quarter of the year, the Chassis Cab is up to 120 pounds lighter than the previous generation of the heavy-duty pickup. The hood is one of the weight-saving measures, made from aluminum instead of steel.

Depending on how deep the customer’s pockets are, the Chassis Cab can be outfitted with forward collision alert, automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, parking assist, and an endless number of cameras. Regardless of configuration, the newcomer features power take-off drive on either the left or right side of the truck.

"With the Chassis Cab Limited, we’ve also created something the segment has never seen, surrounding owners in premium materials and technology with the highest quality interiors, active safety systems, and of course, our award-winning Uconnect technology,”
declared Reid Bigland, head of Ram.

The truckmaker hasn’t announced the pricing for the 2019 Chassis Cab, but chances are the MSRP will start in the ballpark of $35,000. The 2018 model year, for reference, goes for $34,345 excluding destination for the 3500 Chassis Cab Tradesman 4x2.
