Is the New Ram 3500 Right for You?

The Ram 3500 is the ideal truck for those whose daily demands push the limits of capability. The engine lineup centers on two robust options. Standard power comes from the legendary 6.4L HEMI V8 engine, delivering 405 horsepower and 429 lb-ft of torque. When properly equipped, this engine provides a gas maximum payload capacity of up to 7,590 pounds. For extreme towing, you need the available High-Output (H.O.) 6.7L Cummins Turbo Diesel I6, which produces a phenomenal 430 horsepower and a Best-in-Class available 1,075 lb-ft of base diesel torque. This H.O. diesel engine allows the Ram 3500 to achieve a maximum towing capacity of up to 36,610 pounds, making it the definitive choice for pulling the heaviest trailers and gooseneck applications.
