Do you have any idea how a regular work day of a heavy duty 2010 Dodge Ram 3500 looks like? Neither we have but thanks to this video we managed to create the complete picture. Today we’ll share our point of view or regular working day of 2010 Dodge Ram!
Let’s first assume that this nasty monster is packing a 6.7-liter Cummins engine with 350HP and paired with automatic transmission delivers 800lb-ft of torque. That’s a real working force gentlemen! So, let’s skip on the main event.
We know that the towing capacity varies somewhere between 10,950 and 12,100lbs. Our 2010 Dodge Ram 3500 on the video is attached with huge vehicle transport trailer. The trailer is loaded with huge bale of hay. One of these huge bale of hay with 5 by 5 feet dimensions weight 1080lbs with standard moisture! This is a rough calculation but there is a mathematical formula which can calculate it exactly.
So, on the trailer we have 12 bale of hay in the first row and 5 above, which means the trailer is loaded with 17! If we make the calculations the truck is towing 18,360lbs of weight! What do you think, can a 2010 Cummins 3500 handle this load?
Don’t make any conclusions yet. The terrain is bad and in order the 2010 Dodge Ram to get on the road it needs to climb up short incline terrain. The weight pressure on the rear tires is almost bypassing the front wheels power and somewhere on the middle it stops. With a little push from behind, from a John Deere tractor the working day for the Cummins continues! It’s a nice video which demonstrates the real abilities of a Dodge Ram 3500!
Enjoy the video and share your thoughts with us!
