This is a true workhorse but here's something interesting and fun about it: IT'S A "HEAVY-DUTY SLEEPER" While the Tradesman is the base model if equipped with the 6.7L Cummins Turbo Diesel it can crank out 800 lb-ft of torque making it an absolute beast for towing - yet it looks like a no-frills work truck. Some owners even tune them for even more power surprising unsuspecting sports cars at stoplights. IT CAN TOW A SMALL HOUSE With the right setup this truck can tow up to 17980 lbs -which means it can haul everything from massive RVs to large boats or even small mobile homes. SURPRISINGLY COMFORTABLE FOR A WORK TRUCK Despite being the "Tradesman" (aka the work-truck trim) the Crew Cab gives plenty of space for passengers and many owners love upgrading the interior with aftermarket leather and infotainment systems turning it into a luxury hauler. THE 8-FOOT BED IS A CAMPER'S DREAM The 8' bed is a rare find these days and it's perfect for DIY camper builds. Some owners throw in a mattress build custom storage and turn it into a travel rig without needing an actual RV. THE FRONT END IS A "COW-CATCHER" The Ram's heavy-duty front grille and bumper can handle a lot and in ranching areas it's not uncommon to see them pushing through brush snowbanks or even light off-road obstacles like a tank. SURPRISINGLY QUICK FOR A BIG TRUCK With the 6.4L HEMI V8 the Tradesman can go 0-60 in around 7 seconds which is impressive for a truck of this size and weight. It's no muscle car but it'll surprise people at a red light.
