    Fuel economy is on everyone's mind these days, and Dodge Ram 5500 Chassis Cab has made it a priority. The results are a big win for you and your business. In addition to having best-in-class standard fuel tank capacity[1], Ram 5500 Chassis Cab is 14-percent more fuel efficient than Ford F-550 and 23-percent more than Chevy Kodiak 5500 [2].

  • Best-In-Class Standard Fuel Tank Capacity

    Because Dodge is in for the long haul, just like you, we equipped Dodge Ram Chassis Cab trucks with a standard 52-gallon fuel tank, best-in-class standard fuel tank capacity[1]. A big tank means less down time spent making trips to the pump.

    Plus there's an auxiliary fuel port on the tank to accommodate the many upfit items that require fuel access, such as generators, pumps, heaters, and so on.

  • Cummins® Turbo Diesel Engine Efficiency

    The 6.7-liter Cummins® Turbo Diesel engine — standard on 4500 and 5500 models, optional on 3500 — features a high-efficiency electronic fuel injection for optimum fuel economy and performance with emission control that meets stringent federal emissions regulations. The result is cleaner combustion and higher low-speed torque with better throttle response and acceleration. Bottom line: It burns less fuel.
