What Makes This Truck Important

A truck like this is built for a very specific job, but the bigger story is what it says about Ram heavy-duty engineering. The same basic platform that supports towing, hauling and commercial upfit work also proved it could hold together under repeated braking, high-speed acceleration and track testing that most civilian trucks will never see.

That is one more reason we keep saying River Front CJDR is the place to come when you want actual truck knowledge. Anybody can repeat a tow rating. We pay attention to how these trucks are engineered, how they are equipped and what separates a serious Ram heavy-duty truck from something that just looks tough in a parking lot.
