How Much Can the Ram 3500 Tow?
The Ram 3500 has a maximum towing capacity of 37,090 pounds when properly equipped. That’s over 18 tons! What exactly could you tow with that much power? Here are a few things:

- Coach or school bus
- Small yachts
You’ll have plenty of confidence when towing with the Ram 3500. It’s available with a bevy of smart trailering systems, like an Auto-Level Rear Air Suspension. It includes a Bed Lowering Mode for seamless hitching. Plus, once you’re out on the road, the optional Blind Spot Monitoring system can also look out for your trailer.
If you have a landscaping project that calls for a few pallets of rocks, you can put them in the bed. This truck has a maximum payload of 7,680 pounds when properly configured. It’s also available with a Dampened Tailgate with Power Release, so you can open the bed from a distance with a tap of the key fob.
Engine Capabilities
Where does all that power come from? It starts under the hood. There are three engines available with the Ram 3500. They are:
- Standard 6.4L HEMI® V8: 410 horsepower and 429 lb-ft of torque
- Available 6.7L Cummins® Turbo Diesel I6: 370 horsepower and 850 lb-ft of torque
- Available 6.7L High-Output Cummins® Turbo Diesel I6: 420 horsepower and 1,075 lb-ft of torque
The optional High-Output Cummins® Turbo Diesel brings virtually unmatched capability to any worksite. Along with huge horsepower, it also provides a whopping 1,075 lb-ft of torque. It works with the fully electronically controlled Aisin 6-speed automatic transmission, which is specifically engineered for full-powered diesel performance. It promotes low noise and vibration, along with seamless shifting for better control.
If you need to take the power of this heavy-duty truck off the beaten path or onto a rough excavation site, it’s available with 4-wheel drive. It’s also available with Off-Road Pages, so you can keep better track of your truck’s performance.
Inside the Ram 3500
The 2022 Ram 3500 is one of the most relaxing heavy-duty trucks out there. It’s working hard on the outside, while you’re cool, calm, and comfortable on the inside. It’s all thanks to features like available leather upholstery and spacious seating. In fact, in the Mega Cab configuration, there are 40.9 inches of front legroom and another 43.1 inches in the back.

- Amazon Alexa

If you like to whistle while you work, you’ll love the available Harman Kardon® Premium Audio system. It surrounds you with 17 speakers and 900 watts of raw bass-booming power, so you can turn every job site into a concert venue.
