A lot has changed since the modern version of the Ram diesel truck was introduced for 1994, but a lot has stayed the same with this family of trucks that’s still known for incredible performance.A lot has changed since the modern version of the Ram diesel truck was introduced for 1994, but a lot has stayed the same with this family of trucks that’s still known for incredible performance. Back in the early ’90s, the average price of fuel had just surpassed $1 per gallon and there were no such things as diesel particulate filters or urea injectors on the new trucks to worry about. The ’94 Ram, with the 12-valve 5.9L Cummins engine, still had “Dodge” in the model name, and the 3500 weighed in at just 5,906 pounds, while the powerplant under the hood made 420 lb-ft of torque. Almost 20 years later, the ’14 Ram 3500 has a clean-diesel, common-rail 6.7L Cummins that’s capable of making a once-unbelievable 850 lb-ft of torque (and a best-in-class 865 lb-ft for the new ’15 model), and it tips the scales at 8,568 pounds.
