Powertrain

Proven Cummins® power has been a jobsite regular for years because it's durable, efficient, quiet and clean. It's the only diesel that meets more stringent Air Resource Board (ARB) state emission standards, thanks to a new diesel exhaust fluid system. This means Chassis Cabs can idle indefinitely at a jobsite so you can use their HVAC and electrical features. The competition can't say the same.

6.7-liter Cummins® Turbo Diesel engine highlights:

• 305 horsepower at 2,900 rpm
• 610 lb-ft of torque at 1,600 rpm
• Largest available turbo diesel engine in its class ^[1]
• Best-in-class 5-year / 100,000-mile limited engine warranty ^[2]
• B20 biodiesel package available to fleet customers

The legendary 5.7-liter HEMI® V8 engine is standard on 3500 models.

• Variable valve timing increases fuel economy and performance
• 383 horsepower at 5,600 rpm
• 400 lb-ft of torque at 4,000 rpm

Transmission choices:

• AISIN® six-speed automatic, with PTO capability and new Electronic Range Select (6.7L Cummins®)
• Six-speed manual with PTO capability (6.7L Cummins®)
• Five-speed automatic (5.7L HEMI®)

The six-speed manual offered in 4500 and 5500 Chassis Cabs has a lower first gear ratio than Ford or GM conventional chassis cab models ^[3].
