Ram Shows “The More You Know, The More You Tow”

For years, Ram has been known for its excellence in towing trucks. With Ram’s wide selection of trucks, however, it can be tough for truck shoppers to figure out which vehicle is best for their needs.

In order to better educate consumers, Ram is offering a new service on their website called “The More You Know, The More You Tow.” Shoppers can find out the max payload, max tow, price, and other specs on each car. They can sort models by regular, quad, or crew as well as choose the box length, type of transmission, and 4X4 or 2X2 wheel drive. Once they narrow it down, they can sort the results by maximum towing, maximum payload, highest price, or lowest price.

All of these features are great, but by far, my favorite feature of their “The More You Tow” tool is their Towing Basics section. They have included definitions for common towing terminology that many people looking at their first towing truck might not know. They also included how much trailers, boats, cars, RVs, construction equipment, building materials and upfits normally weigh, so let’s say that a shopper knows that they need a truck for their boat trailer but don’t know which truck can handle it. By using the Towing Basics with the truck search tool, they can find out which trucks can handle their trailer.

When you’re done browsing Ram truck models online and ready to get behind the wheel, stop by Bayside Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram. You can also find Bayside on Facebook and Twitter and keep up to date with the latest deals and incentives from Ram.

The truck for the heavy duty worker is here in the multiple form of the Ram Chassis Cab with the Ram 3500, 4500, and 5500. All are available to help anyone who needs to get the job done and wants to do it with style and strength.

The exterior sports a rugged design that plays to an observers eyes while still making sure to show that this is a Ram Chassis Cab and is made for business. It all starts when the wandering eye finds the grille, it’s the signature Ram Truck grille that’s famous for its design. If you want it to jump out even more, then it comes in chrome. The next jump out part is the louvered hood that keeps the truck both ventilated for the engine and aerodynamic to keep a solid fuel economy. The most apparent part in the trucks design is the flat stop surface of the frame design. This flat top surface makes it so the need for spacers is reduced and makes installation easier. For anyone looking to buy for business, the cherry on the top of this truck is the available color schemes to aid in any business needs, be it for construction or a landscaping service there is a color for it.

The best part about driving away in a Ram Chassis Cab would have to be that the interior is perfectly crafted to allow for maximum comfort in a truck built for performance. The dashboard is built with soft-touch materials and this extends to the armrests. The command center of the truck is proudly displayed on the instrument panel with items such as fuel and battery level all surrounded by a stylish chrome ring. Another amazing feature that was just added to the Ram Chassis Cab is the class exclusive heated steering wheel for those tough jobs on a cold winter day. For a more relaxed ride, the trucks come available with the Laramie premium leather seating. Heating is available to make a sweet deal even sweeter. Another added perk for the working man is the fabric used in the seating that is designed to be resistant to stains, odors, and static.

A Ram Chassis Cab wants to make sure you have the furthest travel without the need to gas up. With this is mind, a standard 52 gallon fuel tank is in it’s trucks giving the best-in-class single fuel tank capacity. If that’s not enough then there’s an easily accessible auxiliary fuel port for auxiliary fuel-driven power sources. Then there’s the fact that with the Ram 4500 and 5500 with the Cummins Turbo Diesel engine that Ram is the only truck manufacturer to offer a 50-state emissions package that allows driver to be idle without worrying about the time restrictions in ARB (Air Resource Board) states.

Speaking of engines, the Ram Chassis Cab comes with 2 possible choices. The first is the 6.7 liter Cummins Turbo Diesel that was mentioned earlier. It has a horsepower of 305 and 610 lb-ft of torque. This engine has a six speed manual transmission and six speed automatic. The other available engine is the HEMI V8 5.7L. In contrast, this one has 383 horsepower and 400 lb-ft of torque with a six-speed automatic transmission. This means it has the best in class horsepower. Both of these engines are out to make sure that you have the most power no matter what job you’re on.

The Ram Chassis Cab comes complete with numerous features designed to add convenience. For starters, there’s the electronic vehicle information center, which turns the truck’s cab into a commando center. From here, the dashboard read outs give the driver every vital piece of information you will need to ensure the truck is running smoothly and properly. It will display the engine coolant/transmission/ and oil temperatures, average fuel economy, the DEF (diesel exhaust fluid) warnings, and even outside temperature. The Ram Chassis is all about making sure you’re constantly aware about what is going on with the truck in order to make sure you can take care of any issues before they become a problem.

The Chassis is built to be strong on the road and with any load, but it’s also made to be sure to stay safe. It all starts with the safety cage that has crumple zones and side door beams built into the body cage that provides structural safety. These points absorb the force of an impact in a controlled manner that makes sure to keep the integrity of the cabin if an accident does occur. This is also aided by the fact the Chassis has dual front impact airbags and ABS brakes. No matter what’s being hauled, you’ll be safe behind the wheel.

Ram Cargo Van

The Ram Cargo Van has been built to meet the needs of anyone who needs room. Ram wants to convince you that having a van for a business vehicle shouldn’t be impractical. If you have a business that demands large quantities of a good to be transported throughout the boroughs, be it from Queens to Staten Island, but don’t want to trouble yourself with a traditional panel van, this is the ride for you. Built specifically for easy access and efficiency all while allowing for maximum cargo capacity. It gives three easy ways of getting to your cargo with the manual dual sliding rear doors and a read lift gate. With the sliding doors, that means if you are forced to park in a place that doesn’t allow for easy access to the rear lift gate (and being in New York, that happens frequently) you can still get to what you need. The lift gate lifts high, making it very easy to get what you need without worrying about bonking your head. It’s also illuminated. To help ensure ease and safety for you, the rear lift gate has gas props that hold it firmly in place and is closed with fingertip ease.

For a vehicle like this, Ram understands that in order to stand out to the customer, that it’s all about cargo size. That’s why the Ram Cargo Van comes with space of 144.4 cubic feet. That’s got it’s competitor the Ford Transit Connect, which has 129.6 cubic feet, by almost 15 cubic feet. It also beats Ford in the area of cargo load floor area by 12 square feet, the Ram C/V having 42.6 while Ford only has 30.1. To help make sure that the vehicle matches the workload, there are plenty of options available to tailor make it to suiting your needs. One such accessories is the Mopar cargo wall that sits behind the seats to protect against any shifting the cargo may do. Another is an optional flat floor complete with storage bins for more room without losing floor space. There’s even a removable multipurpose roof rack kit.

With all this effort put into maintaining such a spacious ride, it’s a good thing to know that Ram didn’t spare any expense to make sure the driver and a passenger still get to enjoy a comfortable ride. Soft touch material is all around the cabin giving a nice feeling to anyone stuck behind the wheel during a downtown rush hour. The steering wheel is leather wrapped and comes complete with audio controls. It also features standard tilt and telescoping steering column. Storage extends to the here as well, with an open bin in the lower instrument panel and a dual glove-box. To almost an absurd degree at this point, there’s even an overhead console with cargo compartment mirror. The Ram C/V wants to ensure that while you have everything you need under one roof, it doesn’t leave you feeling like there’s no room for the driver.

The engine pumping life into into the Cargo Van is a 3.6 liter with 283 horsepower with multi speed automatic transmission. For the fuel economy, the Cargo Van has the Best-In-Class range of 500 miles. That means should your business duties take you into Manhattan, then you’ll be getting 17 miles per gallon in the city and if that same trip takes you out onto the highway then you’ll be getting 25 miles per gallon on that extended trip. This is all done with a 20 gallon tank.

Ram also makes sure that you are just as protected as any cargo riding behind you. With a unitized steel construction in all the body panels, the Ram C/V is a durable beast that gives all the strength and protection of a panel van but still manages utility. For the driver and passenger, the C/V has multistage airbags that have three different speeds of deployment dependent upon the impact. There’s also supplemental side curtain airbags that work for every row. There is also an available rear back up camera to help you park in those tighter situations and help hooking up a trailer.
