The Ram Advantage: Why Fleet Managers are Choosing RAM Over the Competition

Unmatched Engine Reliability: The Cummins & Hemi Legacy

The heart of any fleet truck is the powertrain. For over 20 years, the 6.7L Cummins Turbo Diesel Inline-Six has been the gold standard for longevity. Unlike complex V8 diesel configurations, the Cummins inline-six design offers fewer moving parts and proven durability that lasts for hundreds of thousands of kilometers.

For those preferring gasoline, the 6.4L Hemi V8 delivers the torque needed for heavy hauling. We know the Hemi tick is a common discussion point in the industry; however, our fleet customers rest easy knowing these engines are backed by a robust warranty and a design that simplifies maintenance.

Parts Availability: Keeping You on the Road

A truck in the shop is a truck losing money. One of the biggest advantages of choosing Ram in Canada is our supply chain. With our primary parts warehouse located in Red Deer, Alberta, we have immediate access to critical components. While other brands face massive waitlists and backorders, Redwater Dodge maintains a massive local inventory. We handle oil field fleets daily, meaning we stock the high-wear parts you actually need.

The Bottom Line: Upfront Cost & Resale Value

Fleet management is a game of margins. Out of the gate, Ram trucks frequently offer a lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) compared to Ford or Chevrolet.

Lower Entry Price: Our fleet pricing and ongoing promotions ensure your initial capital expenditure is minimized.

Strong Resale: Because of the legendary reputation of the Cummins engine, these trucks hold their value exceptionally well at the end of their service life, ensuring you aren't "underwater" when it’s time to cycle your fleet.
