The Ram 3500 stands as a cornerstone of the heavy-duty truck segment, tracing its lineage back to the rugged Dodge Ram pickups that first debuted in 1981. Over decades, the model transitioned from a dedicated workhorse to a sophisticated powerhouse, specifically after the Ram brand became a standalone entity. Known for introducing the Cummins® Turbo Diesel engine to the consumer market, the Ram 3500 has consistently set benchmarks for torque, towing capacity, and interior refinement. Today, it remains the go-to choice for commercial operators and recreational haulers across Cleveland and Akron.
Heavy-Duty Performance
The performance of the Ram 3500 is defined by its diverse powertrain lineup, engineered to handle the most demanding tasks. The standard engine is a 6.4L HEMI® V8, which utilizes Variable Valve Timing (VVT) to deliver 410 horsepower and 429 lb-ft of torque. For those requiring maximum pulling power, the available High-Output 6.7L Cummins® Turbo Diesel I6 engine provides a best-in-class available torque of up to 1,075 lb-ft.
This diesel powerhouse enables a maximum towing capacity of up to 37,090 pounds when properly equipped. To manage this output, the vehicle utilizes either a highly sophisticated eight-speed automatic transmission or the AISIN® heavy-duty six-speed automatic transmission, designed specifically for high-torque applications and increased durability.
