Under the 3500's Hood

The 2016 Ram 3500 offers up to 31,210 pounds of towing capacity and a payload rating of 7,390 pounds, but it doesn't stop there. Just because the RAM 3500 is a powerhouse, doesn't mean that it is just a work truck. The interior also makes it one of the most luxurious pickups on the market. The RAM 3500 comes with three engine options. Standard on the Ram 3500, the 5.7L HEMI® V8 engine with Variable Valve Timing gives the driver an efficient engine option without sacrificing performance. The available 6.4L HEMI® V8 engine with Fuel Saver Technology delivers Best-in-Class gas horsepower and torque, and finally you've got the available 6.7L Cummins® Turbo Diesel I6 engine which helps accomplish exactly what it was intended for. This engine is built specifically with power in mind. It also helps incorporate the Class-Exclusive smart exhaust engine braking technology to help control the descent of a vehicle on a downward slope. This engine comes with best-in-class 15,000-mile oil change intervals.

Design of RAM 3500

The interior of the 2016 Ram 3500 is similar to that of the Ram 1500, and the result is the nicest cabin among all heavy-duty pickups. On the higher trim levels, soft-touch materials and tasteful stitching are abundant throughout the cabin, while the plush seats and metallic accents are almost too nice for work truck status. The Class-Exclusive available RamBox® Cargo Management System is a lit, secure, durable and drainable storage system incorporated into the side rails of your truck bed. RAM has equipped all of their tailgates with the Ram Truck Tailgate Lift Assist, a resilient tension-releasing torsion bar that helps make lowering your tailgate smooth and easy. The available Uconnect® 8.4 features a Largest-in-Class available 8.4-inch touchscreen that puts the driver in complete command.
