2021 Ram 3500 Review

Exceptional Strength

With a truck as large and strong as the Ram 3500, traits such as horsepower, torque, towing, and payload are expected. Still, it’s always a bit astounding to see just how impressive the figures are for this burly truck.

Three engines are on tap for the 2021 Ram 3500. One is a 6.4L HEMI® V8. With it, you can expect 7,680 pounds of maximum payload and 18,210 pounds of maximum towing. It generates 410 horsepower and 429 lb-ft of torque.

Next up is the second-strongest engine in terms of towing capacity. It’s a 6.7L Cummins® turbo diesel, which touts 6,840 pounds of maximum payload and 22,670 pounds of maximum towing capacity. Displaying that type of impressive strength is possible because the diesel generates 370 horsepower and 850 lb-ft of torque.

Finally, there’s the stunning, high-output version of the Diesel engine. With it, your truck will generate 430 horsepower, 1,075 lb-ft of torque to achieve 6,570 pounds of maximum payload, plus an absurd 37,100 pounds of maximum towing capacity!

Work-Ready Features and Technologies

Ram has devoted a lot of time to their truck lineup with the goal of creating models that display intelligence as well as strength. Diving into the features of the 2021 Ram 3500, it’s clear the engineers loaded this vehicle up with everything they had.

For starters, there are available power-fold tow mirrors with a 360-degree surround-view camera and trailer reverse guidance. These features work to increase your sightlines while towing trailers or just moving about tight confines.

One of the true gems of the Ram developmental team is the class-exclusive auto-level rear air suspension. The available feature can automatically adjust the height of the suspension to give you more aerodynamic ability. Plus, the bed lowering mode brings the rear suspension as low as possible so you can easily hook up a trailer attachment.

Other features include integrated towing hardware and a trailer monitoring system.
