Why Buy a Ram 3500?

Part of what makes the Ram 3500 so popular is the other-worldly power that it provides. As standard equipment, you'll find a 6.4L HEMI V8 engine when you lift the hood, giving the truck 410 horsepower and 429 lb-ft of torque. This translates into an 18,210-pound towing capacity and a cargo capacity of up to 7,680 pounds. By using variable cam timing, the V8 engine offers immense power without sacrificing efficiency. Meanwhile, the Ram 3500 is also available with a 6.7L Cummins TurboDiesel straight-six engine in both a standard and high-output variant. The standard-output variant of the turbodiesel engine delivers 370 horsepower and 850 lb-ft of torque for a towing capacity of up to 22,660 pounds and a payload capacity of up to 6,680 pounds. Meanwhile, the high-output comes in at 420 horsepower and a mind-boggling 1,075 lb-ft of torque, offering a best-in-class towing capacity of up to 37,090 pounds! Further, the Ram 3500 can take up to 6,650 pounds in the cargo bed. Plus, Ram 3500 crew cab models come with a largest-in-class fuel tank, capable of holding 50 gallons of fuel so the adventures can keep on rolling! 

Beyond the impressive towing capacities that the Ram 3500 offers, it has a wide range of standard and available features to make towing a breeze for novices and experts alike. Ram understands that visibility is critical when towing, which is why it offers a range of advanced technologies to help keep you aware of your surroundings, including those of your trailer. These available features include blindspot monitoring with trailer coverage, a 360-degree surround-view camera system, a digital rearview mirror with tow mode, and the Trailer Camera Prep package. For added convenience, all Ram 3500 models come equipped with an LED trailer hitch light as a standard feature, making trailer hookups easier both day and night. One of the standout features is the trailer reverse steering control system, which uses a centrally located knob to let drivers adjust the trailer's direction while the truck manages the steering. To further enhance the towing experience, Ram offers the option of rear air suspension, allowing drivers to lower the rear of the truck for easier alignment with goosenecks, fifth wheels, and conventional trailers. Additionally, Ram integrates factory-installed towing hardware with the available Fifth-Wheel/Gooseneck Prep Package, which includes a rear axle structural cross member and mounting hardware, ensuring the truck is ready for serious towing tasks right from the start.

The Ram 3500 is also a top choice for heavy-duty truck drivers because of the lineup's versatility. Like other Ram trucks, the Ram 3500 can essentially be anything you need it to be, from a bare-bones work truck to an executive office on four wheels. The first part of this versatility is the different sizes the Ram 3500 comes in. In its most basic form, the Ram 3500 comes with a regular cab, featuring two doors and a three-seat bench, with an eight-foot cargo bed. However, the available crew cab features four full-size doors and room for five or six occupants, depending on the chosen configuration. The crew cab can be selected with either a six-foot-four-inch or eight-foot cargo bed. Furthermore, the Ram 3500 offers both rear-wheel and four-wheel drive and optional dual rear wheels for even more versatility. The final piece of versatility comes from the extensive trim-level lineup of the Ram 3500. This includes Tradesman, Big Horn, Laramie, and Limited. While each truck offers the hard-working power that heavy-duty truck drivers demand, the different trim levels offer a wide range of features ranging from basic needs to all the modern luxuries you could want or need.
