2026 Ram 5500: Purpose-Built Power for Purpose-Driven Professionals
The 2026 Ram 5500 is built for professionals who need serious muscle and reliability on the job. Its heavy-duty capability and dynamic design make it a top contender for work in just about any specialty. For instance, ranchers near Prescott, AZ, can rely on it for demanding work, such as towing equipment and cattle trailers.
Meanwhile, commercial haulers and business owners who need customizable upfits – like flatbeds, service bodies, or dump beds – will find that it can be tailored to just about any industry. Upfits aside, it's highly adaptable straight from the factory, offering two cab styles, four cab axle lengths, and nine wheelbase sizes. Simply put, this truck is for anyone whose work requires next-level versatility beyond the other models found in our new CDJR inventory.
Ram 5500 Chassis Cab for Sale: Performance & Specs
Along with extreme flexibility, the Ram 5500 is defined by brawny specs, starting with your choice of two engines. Each brings its benefits and output values.
First up is the standard 6.4-liter HEMI V-8, which balances raw muscle with traditional gas performance. This powertrain puts you in command of 375 horsepower and 429 pound-feet of torque. As you'll see momentarily, its maximum towing capacity of 21,240 pounds,2 while extremely capable, isn't even the pinnacle for this truck. However, if payload strength is your priority, this engine is what you'll need to reach the model's full potential of 12,260 pounds.3 With variable cam timing and fuel saver technology, it maximizes output while minimizing fuel use. Plus, it pairs with a TorqueFlite eight-speed automatic transmission with on-the-fly shift mapping to ensure seamless, reliable gear changes.
Next up is the available 6.7-liter Cummins® turbo-diesel I-6, delivering pure workhorse might. With 360 horsepower and a staggering 800 pound-feet of torque, this is the powertrain you'll need to unlock the truck's maximum towing capacity of 34,540 pounds.2 It's still plenty capable in the payload department, too, supporting up to 11,530 pounds,3 depending on your setup. It works in tandem with a TorqueFlite HD eight-speed automatic transmission that adapts to shift points based on driving conditions.
Whichever engine you opt for when you finance a Ram 5500 Chassis Cab, you'll have America's Best Full-Size Truck Powertrain Limited Warranty4 backing you for 10 years or 100,000 miles (whichever comes first).5

Featured Customer Review for Ram 5500 Chassis Cab
I had a unique and surprisingly enjoyable car buying experience here. I live in Las Vegas and was traveling through Wickenburg when my car broke down. Carlos (sales) came and picked me up and found me my perfect car, and helped me through the buying process. Also Matt (sales manager) worked with my unique situation to make sure we were treated like family. Thanks to the whole team at Jones Ford (Chrysler Dodge Ram Jeep) in Wickenburg for making a tough situation easy to deal with. I highly recommend them for all of your car/truck needs and will definitely buy from there again!
