New Concept Truck: Ram Long Hauler

May 2, 2011 - PRLog -- Have you been looking for a truck that can haul anything, looks good and can be put to work for long periods of time without filling up the tank? Look no further. The Ram brand has just created a concept truck called the “Long-Hauler” that doesn’t get much bigger, has more range or more pulling power than other trucks on the market right now.

This prestigious looking truck is designed for the person who tows multiple heavy trailers; drives long distances or for the small business owner look for a “work horse” at the job site. Starting as a Class 5 Ram 5500 Crew Cab, the Long Hauler was then converted to a Mega Cab passenger compartment, added in an eight-foot box and upped the range between refueling stops with a mid-ship fuel tank along with a second frame-mounted tank and third, optional, bed mounted auxiliary tank, a total fuel capacity of 170 gallons.

On the exterior, brilliant black paint is accented by white gold metallic lower two-tone including body side moldings and wide wheel flares at the front and rear. Up front, a bull bar extends the entire width of the vehicle. For full use of the bed, the spare tire is located under the box. To help make trailer line-up easier on the fifth wheel, a separate back-up camera provides a full view of the bed.

Inside, interior noise levels have been heavily dampened with an upgraded NVH package that ensures a quiet cabin environment. The Long-Hauler includes 2+2 leather seating with a specific, high comfort driver seat. Rear passenger comfort is assured with power-adjustable footrests and a rear center console that includes a refrigerator, cup holders and tray tables.

Additional cabin features also include a laptop storage area and a safe for valuables. Interior items designed to keep the driver monitoring of vehicle performance will include a tire pressure monitoring system, rear axle temperature gauge and exhaust gas temperature and boost gauges. Convenience features also include an inductive charger and DVD player with overhead screen for rear seat passengers to enjoy their favorite programs and entertainment.
