Your work is unique, and so are the demands you place on a chassis.

At the heart of this platform are two available engines: the 6.7L Cummins® Turbo Diesel I6, delivering up to 800 pound-feet of maximum torque and 360 maximum horsepower, and the 6.4L HEMI® V8, producing up to 429 pound-feet of maximum torque and 375 maximum horsepower.

Because upfits vary from a simple flatbed to complex utility rigs, the Body Builder’s Guide is your best friend. It compiles the safety, security, towing, payload, GCWR, emissions, and electrical details you and your upfitter need. This factory-supported documentation helps you confirm clearances, plan electrical routing, and ensure your final build protects capacity and reliability. Pair that with a chassis engineered to be easily upfitted, and your timeline to a job-ready truck gets shorter.
Inside the cabin, the available 12-inch Uconnect® touchscreen gives crews a clear, intuitive hub to manage calls, reference directions, and check vehicle information.
