2026 RAM 4500

The Ram 4500 is the brand's heavy-duty chassis-cab truck, built for serious towing and commercial work rather than daily commuting. With a strong diesel or gas engine up front, the 4500 pulls heavy loads with confidence, though the ride is firm when unladen. Inside, the Tradesman trim keeps things basic but functional, with durable materials and a straightforward layout that's easy to live with on long hauls. As a chassis-cab, the 4500 gives you a blank canvas for a flatbed, tow body, or custom box, so you can tailor it to exactly what you haul. The Tradesman is the base trim, so you skip some convenience features found on higher models, but you also pay less for the same heavy-duty chassis. Its 6.7L I6 makes 360 horsepower and works with an automatic transmission, giving you solid pulling power for heavy trailers without the complexity of a diesel. The Tradesman comes with durable vinyl flooring and cloth seats, so it's easy to clean after a day on the job site.
