An available electronic-shift transfer case is offered, and a factory-installed exhaust brake option contributes to safety and extended brake pad life.

The 2007 Dodge Ram 3500 Chassis Cab has an extended driving range due to, its best-in-class 52-gallon fuel tank. Two cab-axle lengths of 60 and 84 inches are available.
