The New 2026 Ram 3500

The 2026 Ram 3500 offers two proven engines designed to deliver strong power across a wide range of workloads. The standard 6.4 liter HEMI V8 generates 405 horsepower and 429 pound feet of torque, providing confident acceleration and steady power delivery when towing or transporting heavy cargo.

Drivers who require maximum pulling strength can choose the 6.7 liter Cummins Turbo Diesel. In its High Output configuration, the Cummins produces 430 horsepower and 1,075 pound feet of torque. This engine has long been a benchmark in the heavy duty class for torque, durability, and long term reliability. It is designed for consistent performance under demanding conditions such as hauling trailers through steep grades or towing equipment over long distances.

Both engines pair with a heavy duty eight speed automatic transmission engineered for thermal stability and smooth shifting. Multiple axle ratios are available depending on configuration, including options designed for improved towing performance. Rear wheel drive and four wheel drive configurations allow buyers to choose the drivetrain best suited for their needs.

The 2026 Ram 3500 is designed to handle significant workloads with ease. Properly equipped models can tow up to 22,500 pounds according to the official Ram towing guide. This makes the Ram 3500 a strong choice for drivers who need to haul large trailers, agricultural equipment, or construction materials.

Payload capability varies depending on configuration, drivetrain, and selected axle ratio, allowing buyers to tailor the truck to their specific needs. The 3500 uses a solid rear axle paired with Ram’s heavy duty engineering to deliver stability and control. On select configurations, available rear air suspension improves load leveling and maintains ride quality when carrying heavier cargo.

Trailer Tow Technology packages add features such as an integrated trailer brake controller, wiring harness connections, surround view camera availability, trailer tire pressure monitoring, and auxiliary camera support. These features help improve visibility, safety, and confidence when towing in tight spaces or at highway speeds.

Inside the 2026 Ram 3500, the cabin is designed to support both comfort and utility for drivers who spend long hours on the road. The interior layout across all trims emphasizes ease of use with logically arranged controls and clearly labeled switches that make daily tasks simpler. Storage solutions are integrated throughout the cabin, giving drivers convenient places to keep tools, paperwork, or personal items. Crew Cab and Mega Cab models provide generous passenger room along with space for cargo that needs protection from the elements.

Tradesman and Big Horn trims offer durable cloth seating that stands up to repeated use while maintaining comfort during long workdays. Flooring materials and upholstery are chosen for easy cleaning and resilience in demanding environments. As drivers move into Laramie, Limited Longhorn, and Limited trims, they experience more premium surroundings with available leather trimmed seating, heated and ventilated seats, upscale stitching, and refined materials. A single pane sunroof is available on select configurations to brighten the cabin.

Additional convenience comes from a deep center console, rear under seat compartments, fold flat load surfaces, and multiple USB ports. Optional wireless charging and premium audio, including the Harman Kardon 17 speaker system, help create a pleasant and productive driving environment.

The 2026 Ram 3500 stands tall with a bold, functional design. The wide stance, large grille openings, and strong shoulder lines give the truck a confident appearance whether parked or in motion. Different trim levels offer distinctive exterior cues that allow buyers to match the truck to their work or personal preferences.

Territory appropriate wheel options range from 17 inch steel wheels on Tradesman to larger polished aluminum designs on Laramie, Limited Longhorn, and Limited models. Available LED lighting provides strong illumination for job sites, rural roads, or nighttime travel.

Depending on trim, drivers can choose from the Uconnect 8.4 inch system, a 12 inch system, or the largest available 14.5 inch display which is standard on upper trims such as Limited. These systems offer navigation, smartphone integration, Bluetooth connectivity, and customizable menus.

Premium audio enhancements include available nine speaker and seventeen speaker options depending on trim. The digital rearview mirror provides improved visibility behind the truck and trailer when equipped with tow mode.

Available driver assistance technology includes adaptive cruise control, forward collision mitigation, active lane management, blind spot monitoring with trailer coverage, pedestrian detection, and ParkSense front and rear parking assist.
