Ram 5500 Long Hauler Concept Truck

Exclusive First Drive of Chrysler’s Big Rig Ram Concept TruckThis kind of thing almost never happens. The truck you’re looking at on these pages—the one on the cover of the magazine towing a 13,500-pound, 28-foot trailer—was built as a concept truck to be transported to truck shows across the country. It’s called the Ram Long-Hauler, and it was built by Chrysler’s Innovation Group to showcase premium pickup features, future trends, and to entice fullsize truck buyers into their local Ram dealer. It wasn’t intended to be put in the hands of a diesel magazine and be driven across the United States. Or at least, that’s the official story, anyway…
