The flatbed 4500/5500 Rams got DEF a little earlier, I think it was 2011 but am not positive. '18 Ford Raptor, random motorcycles, 1968 Plymouth Fury III - 11.37 @ 118

The Ram was 40 hp and about 80 lb-feet of torque less than the other two. In the test the reviewers stated that Dodge's decision not to use the DEF system resulted in a notable loss of power and towing capacity. R.
