Ram Teases with "Long Hauler" Concept on Ram 5500 Chassis

Power to move this massive truck and its cargo comes from Cummins' 800 lb-ft 6.7L Turbodiesel. Torque is transmitted through an Aisin 6-speed auto transmission and fed to the dual rear wheels by a 4.88 packed Dana 110 axle. 4 wheel drive gives the Long-Hauler the traction it needs to navigate rough terrain one might encounter on farms on construction sites. The Kelderman air suspension system provides a surprisingly smooth ride while offering kneeling and self-leveling capabilities.

Chrysler made the Ram Long-Hauler as aesthetically pleasing as they did capable. A massive chrome bull bar wraps the front end and accents the attitude that the truck delivers, while the unique 2 tone paint job allows the truck to stand out in a crowd. 19.5 inch Alcoa aluminum wheels, reminiscent of those found on big rigs, shine brightly at all 4 corners. Leather interior and a premium sound package provide driver/passenger comfort for the long haul.

The Ram Long Hauler, if it were pushed into production, would provide range, comfort, and capability that would likely attract the attention of haulers, farmers/ranchers, RVers, boaters, and others who need a truck to move some serious payload long distances. With a 197.4 inch wheelbase, the truck is a little big for cruising around town, but would make a great dedicated tow rig for someone who could benefit from the range and capability the truck offers. For now, the truck remains a concept and we've heard no rumors of plans to bump the truck into production.
