This 2018 Dodge RAM 5500 is a used service and utility truck — sometimes referred to as a mechanics truck or work truck — designed to support field service operations, maintenance crews, and infrastructure work across a wide range of industries. Dodge is a well-established American vehicle manufacturer with a long history of producing heavy-duty commercial and work trucks built for demanding professional applications. This example is configured specifically for rail service operations, making it a highly specialised unit ready for dual-purpose road and rail deployment.
Power comes from a Cummins 6.7-litre diesel engine rated at 325 horsepower, paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission. The truck rides on a 4x4 drivetrain with a 4.88 gear ratio and spring suspension, giving it genuine off-road and variable-terrain capability. The wheelbase measures 197 inches, and the truck runs on 225/70R19.5 tyres. The gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) is 19,500 lb, placing it firmly in the Class 5 heavy-duty segment. At the time of inspection, the odometer showed 125,771 miles and the engine had logged 4,194 hours of operation. The cab is a crew configuration and includes power steering and air conditioning.
The flatbed body is a Knapheide model PGNB-16, a 16-foot steel unit featuring an expanded metal bulkhead fitted with stop, tail, and turn lights, as well as bulkhead-mounted work lights. A Tommy Gate liftgate with a 1,600 lb capacity is installed at the rear, facilitating the loading and unloading of heavy equipment and materials. A Reese receiver hitch is also fitted.
The defining feature of this unit is its G&B Specialties rail gear, which allows the truck to operate on railway tracks in addition to standard road surfaces, making it particularly suited to railroad maintenance, inspection, and infrastructure service roles.
