Model Highlights
The 2026 RAM 3500 is the kind of heavy-duty truck built for work that won’t forgive compromises — massive towing, serious payload capacity, and multiple engine choices so you can spec the truck to your job. At Tunkhannock Auto Mart Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram we keep a rotating selection of new RAM 3500s and can help you find the right configuration for towing, hauling, or commercial use.
Overview — who the 3500 is for
If you haul heavy trailers, tow large fifth-wheels, or need a truck with industrial-scale towing ratings and reinforced chassis, the RAM 3500 sits near the top of the heavy-duty class. The 3500 offers both gasoline and diesel powertrains, multiple cab and bed choices, and factory options tuned for maximum capability and reliability.
Engine options & performance
The 3500 comes with robust engine choices to match different workloads: a powerful HEMI V8 gasoline option and a 6.7L Cummins turbo-diesel (available in standard and high-output tunes). The high-output Cummins delivers the kind of torque that heavy towing demands, while the HEMI is a solid choice when you want V8 responsiveness and gasoline serviceability.
Towing & payload — what it can actually pull
Properly equipped, the 2026 RAM 3500 offers maximum towing in the heavy-duty pickup segment — depending on configuration (cab, axle ratio, and hitch type) you can expect maximum towing figures in the high-thirty-thousand-pound range for gooseneck/fifth-wheel setups. Exact numbers vary by build, so we’ll help you match the exact axle and towing package you need.
Why the Cummins diesel matters
For repeat heavy towing, the 6.7L Cummins diesel (especially in high-output spec) delivers the torque and durability fleets and contractors depend on — the extra low-end torque makes towing large loads feel more controlled and less stressful on the drivetrain. If towing is your priority, diesel is often the right tool.
Trim, cab, and chassis choices
The 3500 is offered in multiple trims (from work-focused Tradesman to feature-rich Limited Longhorn / Limited variants), with Regular, Crew and Mega Cab choices and different bed lengths. You can spec chassis cabs for commercial upfits or choose a higher-trim model for driver comfort and advanced tech.
Technology & towing aids
Modern heavy-duty RAMs include towing-first tech — integrated tow-mirrors, trailer-sway control, tow-grade transmissions, multi-view cameras (including hitch-zoom views), and trailer-brake controllers. These systems reduce the guesswork while hitching and pulling, and they’ll be on our demo trucks so you can see them in action during a test drive.

Frequently Asked Questions — 2026 RAM 3500
1. What engine should I choose for maximum towing?
The 6.7L Cummins turbo-diesel (especially in the high-output tune) is the best choice for maximum towing because of its high torque output at low RPM. We’ll help you choose axle ratio and hitch options to reach the tow rating you need.
2. What is the RAM 3500’s maximum towing capacity?
Maximum towing depends on configuration (cab, axle ratio, bed, hitch). Properly equipped RAM 3500s can tow in the high-thirty-thousand pound range for gooseneck/fifth-wheel ratings. We’ll verify exact numbers for the specific truck you’re looking at.
3. Can I get a chassis cab for upfits?
Yes — the RAM 3500 is available as a chassis cab for commercial upfits (service bodies, flatbeds, etc.). Tell us what you need and we’ll coordinate specs or upfit referrals.
4. Is the RAM 3500 available with a flatbed or service body?
Yes — chassis cab configurations are designed to accept flatbeds and service bodies. We can help connect you with upfitters to get the truck fitted for your work.
5. How much payload can the RAM 3500 carry?
Payload varies by axle, cab, and equipment. A well-spec’d 3500 can carry thousands of pounds of payload — we’ll calculate payload for your intended configuration to make sure it meets your needs.
6. What towing tech is included?
Available features include trailer-sway control, integrated tow-mirrors, multi-view cameras with hitch assist, trailer-brake controllers, and smart towing integrations. These features make hitching and backing trailers easier and safer.
7. Should I buy gas or diesel?
If your work involves frequent heavy towing, diesel is usually the right call for torque and fuel economy under load. If towing is occasional and you prefer gasoline maintenance patterns, the HEMI V8 is a capable alternative.
