The Model Year (MY) 2013.5 lineup of Ram Trucks powered by the 6.7L Cummins Turbo Diesel is here. This year’s lineup includes many new features our customers asked for.
For MY 2013.5, the 6.7L Cummins Turbo Diesel horsepower and torque ratings are increased across the board. The new high-output engine boasts 385 hp and 865 lb-ft of best-in-class torque. This results in an increase of 50 lb-ft over the competition. Here’s a summary of the 2013 ratings.

*Best-in-Class
Ram also reduces operating costs with a new Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) aftertreatment that uses Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF). This helps contribute to a 10 percent increase in fuel economy while delivering a best-in-class 15,000-mile oil-change interval. Doubling the oil-change interval has a direct link to your operating costs, and will help to keep a little of your hard-earned money in your pocket.
Towing ratings have also increased substantially. For more details, see 2013 Class-Leading Towing Ratings for 2013.
Diesel owners will also benefit from a new cooling system that affords 25 percent more heat-rejection capacity. This is done via a high-efficiency fan, dual radiators, dual transmission coolers and a charge-air cooler, all of which lower operating temperatures and deliver improved performance.
Also improved for 2013 is the biofuel capability. The MY 2013.5 engine is B20-capable, whereas the 2012 engine was only B5-capable – adding flexibility at the pump. Now you have the option to use ultra-low-sulfur diesel or up to B20 biodiesel, where available.
Another feature is the “smart” exhaust brake. The VGT™ Variable Geometry Turbo is enhanced for 2013 through the addition of a brake feature that electronically controls the exhaust braking to maintain a set vehicle speed while descending a grade.
