Key Features of the 2026 RAM 3500
High-Output 6.7L Cummins® Turbo Diesel I6
The available High-Output 6.7L Cummins® Turbo Diesel I6 is the cornerstone of this truck’s reputation. Built for high-load durability, it pairs strong, low-rpm torque with observed refinements like minimal vibration and reduced noise for a calmer, more controlled towing experience. With up to 430 horsepower and a Best-in-Class available base diesel torque rating of up to 1,075 lb-ft, you get intense, sustained pull that shows up on steep grades, in heavy headwinds and every time you launch with a large trailer. Pair it with integrated tow technology—like the available Automatic Smart Exhaust Brake that helps slow the truck and trailer on descents—and you feel more planted and confident in real-world Kentucky hauling scenarios. For drivers who need stout tow ratings and smart, reliable performance day after day, this Cummins® powerplant is the benchmark.
TorqueFlite® HD Eight-Speed Automatic Transmission
Matched to the diesel or the legendary 6.4L HEMI® V8, the TorqueFlite® HD eight-speed automatic transmission is calibrated to do tough work without calling attention to itself. Intuitive software control helps ensure smooth, decisive shifts under load, whether you are merging onto I-69, threading into a job site or easing up to a hitch. The eight-speed’s wide gear spread balances low-end grunt with relaxed highway cruising, and the fully electronic operation with on-the-fly shift mapping (on HEMI® V8 models) promotes refined drivability. Crucially, this transmission is tuned to support the Heavy Duty braking hardware and integrated tow features, so the whole truck works as a cohesive unit when you are towing, hauling or maneuvering in tight quarters.
Largest-in-Class available 14.5-inch infotainment touchscreen
Your productivity accelerates when you can see and control everything cleanly, and the Largest-in-Class available 14.5-inch infotainment touchscreen powered by Uconnect® 5 NAV puts that capability squarely at your fingertips. Create up to five user profiles, toggle tow-specific navigation, and keep essentials like Trailer Tow Pages and vehicle dynamics a tap away. The available interface integrates seamlessly with Wireless Apple CarPlay® support for your iPhone® and Wireless Android Auto™ compatibility. Add available features like Ram Connect Services and available dual wireless charging pads with cooling ventilation, and you have a connected cabin that helps you plan, navigate and communicate—without the cable clutter. Pair it with the available 900-watt Harman Kardon® Premium Audio System with 17 speakers and Interior Active Noise Cancellation to turn long tows into quiet, focused drives.
360° Trailer Surround View Camera
The available 360° Trailer Surround View Camera is like having an expert spotter with a bird’s-eye vantage point. It stitches together multiple camera feeds to deliver a comprehensive overhead view of your truck and trailer, so you can better understand your surroundings when backing into tight sites or threading through narrow gates. When combined with the available Digital Rearview Mirror with side camera integration, you can monitor left and right trailer flanks and even activate a wired Tow Mode Camera to check behind the trailer in real time. Add available Trailer Reverse Steering Control and use the dedicated trailer knob to control trailer direction while the system turns the truck’s steering wheel—especially helpful for long goosenecks or heavy fifth-wheels. These integrated systems help reduce stress and save time every time you line up a hitch or back into a campsite.
Class-Exclusive available Power Convex Trailer Tow Mirrors
Visibility is capability. The Class-Exclusive available Power Convex Trailer Tow Mirrors provide the wide-angle perspective you need when changing lanes, passing or positioning a heavy trailer. They telescope to widen your field of view, then retract for tight parking, and pair with available forward and reverse spotter functionality to help illuminate hitching tasks and low-speed maneuvers. When equipped with the mirror-mounted camera system, you can pull live left-right visual coverage into the available Digital Rearview Mirror or on-screen feeds. Together with LED lighting, an illuminating LED Trailer Hitch Light in the tailgate handle area, and available bed lighting, these mirrors are part of a thoughtful ecosystem that makes hitching and towing feel more controlled—morning, noon or night.
