The maximum towing capacity of the 2023 Ram 3500 is 37,090 pounds when properly equipped. That’s over 18 tons. What kind of equipment can you tow with that much strength at your disposal? Let’s run down the list:
When you’re ready to hitch up your trailer, the available Auto-Level Rear Air Suspension includes a Bed Lowering Mode. It will lower the rear suspension to its lowest point, so hitching up will be a breeze.
Once you’re out on the road, you’ll have the support of features like standard Trailer Sway Damping and an optional trailer brake controller to help you keep command over your load. There’s also available Blind Spot Monitoring and Cross Path Detection, which monitors the blind spots of your truck and trailer, so you can change lanes with ease.
At the heart of the Ram 3500, you’ll find the standard 6.4L HEMI® V8 gas engine. It unleashes 410 horsepower and 429 lb-ft of torque. If you’re looking for even more strength, you can go the diesel route.
The two available diesel engines are:
The High-Output 6.7L Cummins® works alongside an Aisin 6-speed automatic transmission. It’s specifically optimized to work with a diesel engine and lowers noise and harsh vibration while providing seamless shifts even when towing heavy loads.
If you’re planning on loading up the bed, the HEMI® V8 is the best option. It boasts a maximum payload of 7,680 pounds when properly configured, so you can load in pallets of stone for that masonry job or pack in the camping supplies for your crew’s long weekend trip.
Whether you’re on lunch break or the job is done, the Ram 3500 is a great base of operations. You’ll be able to unfold in 40.9 inches of front legroom and relax in the available leather-trimmed seats. You can even groove to your favorite tunes through the available Harman Kardon® Premium Audio system. It comes with 17 speakers.
What about the optional 12-inch touchscreen display? That’s the command center of the Uconnect® 5 NAV system and puts a variety of connective features at your fingertips. They include:
You’ll also have a great place to store your tools, fishing gear, or a few cold beverages with some ice in the available RamBox® Cargo Management System. It offers two lockable and drainable storage bins that are integrated into the side of the truck bed. They feature LED lighting, a 115-volt power outlet, and remote access with your key fob.
Now that you know how hardworking the 2023 Ram 3500 is, the only thing left to do is put it to work. Whatever job lays before you in Worcester, Auburn, and Shrewsbury, Massachusetts, it’s ready to tackle it with the same spirit you are.
