“We have cemented Dodge Ram Heavy Duty leadership with an all-new 6.7-liter Cummins Turbo Diesel engine featuring 650 lb.-ft. of best-in-class low-end torque,” said Mike Donoughe, Vice President – Body-on-frame Product Team. “In this market, capability is everything and the 2007 Dodge Ram Heavy Duty trucks are the most capable pickup trucks available. Period.”

The 2007 Dodge Ram Heavy Duty Cummins Turbo Diesel commands the heavy-duty segment with class-dominating 650 lb.-ft. of low-end torque (881 N•m) at 1,500 rpm and 350 horsepower (261 kW) at 3,013 rpm generated from an all-new 6.7-liter Cummins Turbo Diesel engine.

Dodge Ram Heavy Duty trucks boast towing capability of 16,400 lbs., a payload of 5,020 lbs. and Gross Combined Weight Rating (GCWR) and Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) of 23,000 lbs. and 12,200 lbs., respectively.

Featuring one of the stiffest hydroformed frames on a pickup truck, combined with Dodge Ram Heavy Duty’s rack-and-pinion steering system, Ram delivers precise feel and response tuned to give the driver control and positive feedback under any conditions.

The 2007 Dodge Ram Heavy Duty Quad Cab features an optional 60/40 split to accommodate passengers and cargo together. Seat cushions fold up to create a tall storage area from floor to ceiling. And an optional floor section under the back seats folds open to form a flat-load floor, with ample additional storage in the footwells. To enhance comfort and convenience, Dodge Ram Quad Cab’s rear doors open 85 degrees and the rear windows move all the way down.

The Dodge Ram Heavy Duty regular cab offers just as much flexibility. The unique cab size not only provides more storage behind the rear seats, but also allows for improved seat travel and ease in reclining for driver and passengers.
