Relentless Power, Proven Durability
Two powerhouse engines define the performance range of the 2026 RAM 3500. Standard models come equipped with a 6.4-liter HEMI® V8 that delivers 405 horsepower and 429 lb-ft of torque, designed for versatile jobsite performance and high payload demands. For maximum towing strength, the available 6.7-liter High-Output Cummins® Turbo Diesel inline-six cranks out 430 horsepower and a best-in-class 1,075 lb-ft of torque. With this configuration and the proper equipment, the RAM 3500 can tow up to 36,610 lbs.
Every drivetrain is paired with a heavy-duty eight-speed automatic transmission, optimized for smooth power delivery and long-term durability under commercial-grade pressure. Dual rear-wheel configurations and four-wheel drive options are also available for improved traction and stability when navigating uneven terrain or hauling oversized trailers.
