The 2015 Ram 3500 is the best heavy hauler in its class. Ram Truck promotes its best-in-class payload of 7,390 lbs, torque of 865 lb-ft and towing capacity of 30,000 lbs.

Yeah, it’s safe to say Daron’s is turned up that much.

14. For those doubting the power of nitrous, there are vehicles out there like Wayne Talkington's 9,500 pound, 11-second semi that speaks to the success of injecting nitrous into a diesel engine. Wayne uses so much nitrous that he has two fill bottles mounted on the rear of the truck to combat any pressure drops.
