They don’t get much bigger, have more range or more pulling power than the Ram Long-Hauler Concept truck, the press release starts. No one would doubt them, just look at this thing!
On display at selected events across America, the Ram Long-Hauler is based on a Class 5 Ram 5500 Crew Cab. They then converted to a Mega Cab passenger compartment, added an 8-foot box and upped the range between refueling stops with a mid-ship fuel tank. Combined with a second frame-mounted tank and a third, optional, bed-mounted auxiliary tank, total fuel capacity is 643.52 litres!
This monster is 24 feet or 7.3 metres long, with the wheelbase along accounting for 5 metres. With a 37,500 Gross Combined Weight Rating (GCWR), the Long-Hauler can probably tow your house away.
Under the hood is an inline six-cylinder 6.7L “High Output Cummins Turbo Diesel” rated at 1,085 Nm. It’s mated to a six-speed Aisin automatic with four-wheel-drive transfer case coupled to a 4.88 Dana 110 axle with dual rear wheels.

Cummins turbo diesel… classic…
you know how american’s like everything big!!.. you can probably fit a Jumbuck in the cargo bed
Look funny, like the one in the cartoons ;-)
Looks like nothing much has changed in the Yank apporach to building trucks,or cars for that matter of fact.
They are the biggest you can find anyhwere,especially the 18 wheelers “Semi’s” or “Rigs’s” as they call it-Those Kenworth’s,Freightliners,Peterbilt’s,International and etc..when i was in the U.S for the 12 years,these pick up trucks were the staple of people movers in rural america.EVERYBODY had one or drove one..and the the 2 door Dodge ram was exteremely popular.
Yikes! But this Dodge is absolutely huge! My uni buddy from Kentucky had an old 70’s Dodge Ram with a 360ci V-8.Modded and went like the absolute clappers..
That old dodge was not a bad ride at all..but this one is simply enormous..
Good luck trying to park that this then.Cheers.
Don’t worry. plenty of room for parking at trailer parks, boat yards and demolition derbies.
Bear in mind, this isn’t for everyone though. This is as powerful as the lorries you see on the highways.
Still not as impressive as the 7.3L Ford powerstroke.
As for Dodge Rams, I once trapped 13.8@101mph on a bone stock Ram SRT-10 (yes, the one with the viper motor). That thing goes like mad even bone stock..with an automatic and with hugh 22″ wheels….. it was almost just as quick as the other 13.8s cars that day, a BMW M3 SMG and a Audi S4 V8. My Eclipse trapped 13.5@106 just to put into perspective what this monster could do.
Awesome man..agreed..yeah i know the SRT-10’S..THEY SHOVE YOU IN THE SEAT LIKE MAD DON’T THEY?? hahahaa..yup,i know this one..and the Viper,pelted the living daylights out of that one too man..i assume you were in the U.S for a long time like me mate?
Demolition derbies?Hell yeah!! Yeah you are right man..they can shove one of these in trailer parks and boat yards quite easy..
Damn i miss the U.S man,don’t you?..it’s good to chat with someone who has been and lived there before..
Till we chat again.Cheers.
Is there a point for this car ?
Add a roof top at the back, throw in some beds & stuff, it can easily convert into a campervan (with power to boot) to travel all over the US! Can even have a speedboat in tow.
you got to have class E license to drove this. enormous truck pickup with lorry engine. for sure i can tow a kayu balak with this one.
boleh tesangkut kat busut ni… ke kat tebing sungai..panjang sangat..hahaha
feels like kereta potong and joined together… when it comes to parking, it should be LOL… innocent double parking…
and still the American wonder why their auto industry went bust……sigh
This is great for camping. I remember the old V10 Ram. Powerrrrr…..
There is no better way of saying “I HAVE A SMALL LITTLE BROTHER” than this.
reminds me of catdog cartoon
Anyone know where is the place in the picture. The background mountain view is so nice.
That looks like the state of Montana..lots of that kinda mountain stuff over there..very beautiful state..i could be wrong but looks a lot like it..
Cheers man.
