About This Vehicle
If you’ve got a job that can’t wait for the frost to thaw or the mud to dry, our new 2026 Ram 5500 Tradesman is ready to get to work. Outfitted with the legendary 6.7L Cummins Turbo Diesel and a heavy-duty Snow Plow Prep Group, this rig is practically built for our Maine winters. Whether you're hauling through the North Woods or clearing a driveway in Bangor, that 4X4 drivetrain and the 19,500 lbs GVWR capacity mean you'll be handling the heavy lifting without breaking a sweat.
We’ve made sure this one is ready for the long haul, including the Cold Weather Group with an engine block heater and winter front grille cover so you’re always good to go on those sub-zero mornings. It’s a workhorse through and through, designed to be comfortable and capable no matter how rough the road gets.
