The 8HP75 transmission is manufactured by German manufacturer ZF Group and features a rotary-dial gear selector. The 6.4-Liter HEMI is mated to an upgraded (heavier-duty) TorqueFlight 8-speed transmission. This sounds like a version of stop-start, but that detail has not been confirmed. If we are understanding the Ram announcement correctly, the 6.4-Liter HEMI will now also shut-off fuel during deceleration and coasting situations. We have this exact engine in our 20 (and previously in our 20) and – even with the camper loaded – it changes to V4 operation when we are driving downhill or coasting. The 6.4-Liter HEMI features cylinder deactivation that automatically changes from a V8 to a V4 to save fuel. The naturally-aspirated 6.4-Liter HEMI has 410-horsepower at 5,600 rpms and 429 pound-feet of torque at 5,600 rpms. 6.4-Liter HEMI V8 Gas with Cylinder Deactivationįor 2019, Ram is dropping the 5.7-Liter HEMI and making the 6.4-Liter HEMI V8 standard.

The new front bumper has also been designed for efficient air intake and cooling. Active grille shutters can also improve aerodynamics for greater fuel efficiency. Under high demand situations the active grille shutters can fully open to maximum engine cooling. In cold weather, the shutters stay closed to allow the engine to heat up more rapidly. The larger front grille features active grille shutters that automatically open and close to allow the engine to heat or cool more efficiently. To further lighten the load, the new Ram 3500 has an aluminum hood. Like the updated frame, the new body uses high-strength steel to reduce weight. Beyond the bold new look, the truck body has a 0.41 drag coefficient making it the most aerodynamic truck that Ram has ever offered in a heavy duty truck. The exterior of the 20 is modeled after the previously-updated and highly-successful 20-series. The result is not only a stronger frame, but one that weighs in up to 143-pounds lighter.
