MAUMEE, Ohio, Jan. 12, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Dana
Incorporated (NYSE: DAN) announced today that it will be supplying
its Dana 60™ AdvanTEK® solid rear axle with Spicer
PerformaTraK™ electronic locking differential to the
2021 Ram® 1500 TRX™ pickup truck.
Leveraging a full-float axle design, the new Dana 60 utilizes a 3.55 gear ratio and
specialized AdvanTEK technology to deliver increased torque and
carrying capacity over Dana's
traditional offering. The axle will come equipped with the
Spicer PerformaTraK electronic locking differential, which can
transfer rear axle torque to one wheel. This ensures the wheels do
not slip, providing increased traction.
"As the demand for vehicles with high-performance, off-road
capability continues to increase, Dana is developing solutions that are designed
to deliver maximum performance and durability in the toughest of
conditions," said Bob Pyle,
president of Dana Light Vehicle Drive Systems. "The 2021 Ram
1500 TRX is an extremely capable on- and-off-road vehicle and we
are proud to have been selected to provide our Dana 60 AdvanTEK axles to support its power
and strength."
The new axles will be assembled at Dana's facility in Dry Ridge, Kentucky.
In addition to axles, Dana
supplies cylinder head gaskets for the 2021 Ram 1500 TRX.
