Choosing a Ram 3500

Pick a 3500 over a 2500 for big fifth-wheel and gooseneck trailers, heavy campers and serious payload. Two choices matter most: single or dual rear wheels, and HEMI or Cummins. On a 4x4 Crew Cab Tradesman with the 8' box, Ram's chart shows 25,180 lbs of towing with the Cummins on single rear wheels and 33,560 lbs on dual rear wheels; the dually HEMI carries the most payload, 6,620 lbs in that configuration.

Ram 3500 FAQ

How much can the Ram 3500 tow?

Up to 37,020 lbs under Ram's preliminary 2027 ratings when properly equipped: 6.7L Cummins HO, Regular Cab, dual rear wheels, 4x2. The best 4x4 rating is 36,610 lbs. With the 6.4L HEMI, the 3500 tows up to 18,140 lbs.

What is the Ram 3500's payload?

Up to 7,580 lbs with the 6.4L HEMI V8 in a Regular Cab dual-rear-wheel 4x2. Cummins-equipped 3500s are rated up to 6,460 lbs.

Does the Ram 3500 come with a gas engine?

Yes. The 6.4L HEMI V8 (405 hp, 429 lb-ft) is standard and the 6.7L Cummins High Output turbo diesel (430 hp, 1,075 lb-ft) is optional on every 3500 trim.

Is the Ram 3500 available as a dually?

Yes. Dual rear wheels are a 3500-only option on Tradesman, Big Horn/Lone Star, Laramie, Limited and Limited Longhorn, in Regular Cab 8', Crew Cab 8' and Mega Cab.

How much does a 2027 Ram 3500 cost?

The 2027 Ram 3500 Tradesman starts at $49,340 MSRP plus a $2,795 destination charge, per Ram as of October 21, 2026.

Should I get a Ram 2500 or a 3500?

Choose the 3500 for dual rear wheels, the highest towing ratings or more than about 4,500 lbs of payload. If your trailer is under 20,000 lbs and you do not need a dually, a 2500 rides a little softer and costs less.
