2017 Ram 5500 Chassis Cab

Ram’s chassis cab brand manager, Adrian Ratza, recently talked to us about their biggest heavy-duty truck, the Ram 5500 chassis cab.

New for model year 2018, Ram’s top workhorse will get PTO configurations for both left and right sides in either 4×2 or 4×4 models.

“We take a lot of pride in the number of PTO configurations that we have,” Ratza says in the video interview with sister site Hard Working Trucks posted below. “It’s going to make life a lot easier on an upfitter with all of the different configuration availabilities we have with that.”

Also new for 2018 are upgraded radio options with the addition of Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.

“We’re really stepping up our game regarding connectivity,” Ratza said.
