    Hemi MDS an option on RAM 2500? No, due to the weight and expected operating cycle of the HD product MDS would not be engaged often, thereby eliminating any net benefit. .

    6.7L Cummins You need to take into account the entire driveline not just the trans. With a manual trans we cannot monitor and adjust the torque supplied downstream like we can with an auto trans vehicle.

    Ram 2500 MPG Fuel economy depends more on driver habits and behavior than any other factor. The EPA ratings attempt to compare vehicles using a certain driving style and are therefore useful data even if the ratings are not identical to the customers experience. The 2500 will not achieve as...

    Ram HD be available with color matched bumpers No, but the TRX model has a body colored grille and dark grey bumpers which match the lower bodyside color. Thank you for showing an interest in a monotone model.

    Proud past and present owner of 5 ram cummins powered trucks When we release a package to the public we need to balance many attributes of the overall vehicle. Primary ones that may conflict with your maximum torque concept are government regulations on exhaust and noise emissions, and...

    Fuel gauge sending unit There has been a different design for the sending unit implemented since the model years you mentioned and warranty looks to be very favorable. The manufacturers of ULSD fuel incorporate a lubricant in their product so there is no need for an additive. The steering...

    Demand for a factory built Megacab longbed... We are always interested in our customers desires, but the development of a Mega Long would be quite a "stretch". . ;)

    How about a pickup bed option in the 4500 and 5500 HD trucks? There is some aftermarket attention in this area but we feel the sales volume of this would be extremely limited and to make a box worthy of the 4500/5500 would be an expensive and extensive project. Thank you for the input we...

    1st Generation Driver.... I think you will see that the entire automotive industry has become more complicated and more difficult to work on and maintain. Complying with government regulations (primarily in emissions and occupant safety) require an extensive nextwork of parts. On the...

    Why won't you make a long bed megacab? In the entire market of four door pickup trucks, the short bed is more popular by many times over. The Mega Cab is already a very small volume model and a Mega Long would be smaller volume yet. Since it would be our longest and heaviest model, it...

    Future diesel emission standards.. As you know, the emission standards are dictated by the EPA, so only they could answer your first question. Our emissions package met 2010 requirements 3 years early and our diesel pickups will not require the use of urea, unlike our competitors. That being...

    What is the Dodge plan to market to the class C motorhome builders? While the 4500/5500 chassis has adequate specifications for this, the passenger area is not configured properly for a motorhome conversion. We cannot comment on any other future products.
