Powerful Engine Options
The strength of the Ram 3500 starts with its powerful engine. Owners have the option to choose between three different power plants depending on which trim you choose. The first engine is a 6.7-liter Cummins Turbo Diesel I-6 engine. It creates 850 pound-feet of torque and 370 horsepower. The max payload for this truck is 5,730 pounds. Owners can rely on the engine to support towing for up to 21,560 pounds.
The second engine option is the 6.7-liter High Output Cummins Turbo Diesel I-6 engine. The torque for this block increases to 1,000 pound-feet with horsepower jumping to 400. The engine also supports a payload of up to 7,680 pounds and a towing capacity of 35,100 pounds.
The standard choice for all 4×4 Ram 3500s is the 6.4-liter Hemi V-8. This block uses variable-cam timing to create 410 horsepower and 429 pound-feet of torque. It handles a payload of 6,600 pounds. Trucks that keep this standard engine can tow up to 17,130 pounds. If you choose the 4×2 Ram 3500, the standard engine is a 5.7-liter V-8 Hemi with variable valve timing.

RamBox Cargo Management System
Keep your equipment safe on-site and in your driveway with the RamBox. It is strong enough to handle your dirtiest tools. If you need to work with power tools, bring the chargers and keep them in the box. Once your devices need charging plug them into the 115-volt outlet. The box has a lock to secure anything you store at work or home.

Auto-Level Rear Air Suspension
The Ram 3500 is a work truck with a comfortable ride. An auto-level rear air suspension keeps your journey comfortable while adapting to the road. It helps with shifting loads and responds to changing road conditions. The suspension system also helps with a parallel hitch between the truck and your load.

Towing
One of the most important features of any work truck is its towing capabilities. Every Ram 3500 is capable of hauling any work or leisure load. However, it is important to make sure you prepare your truck before locking into your next shipment. Ask about upgrading the hitch to meet your needs. If you want to haul a trailer, you’re looking at a minimum of 220 pounds. On the heavier end, consider that most construction equipment weighs a minimum of 670 pounds.
As you consider the towing needs of your next truck, keep in mind that the capabilities change depending on the type of transmission you choose. It also depends on whether you go with a 4×4 or 4×2 model.
