Discover the 2024 Ram 3500: Power and Capability

The Three Incredible Engines

Ram offers a standard gas engine and two turbo diesel engines for the 2024 edition. The 6.4-liter HEMI V8 delivers a best-in-class standard of 410 horsepower. The high level of refinement of the eight-speed automatic transmission makes it a joy to drive.

The available 6.7-liter turbo diesel I6 engine delivers a powerful ride with 370 horsepower and 850 lb.-ft. of torque. It’s paired with an advanced six-speed automatic transmission with gear ratios optimized to smoothly handle the engine’s power. Finally, there is an available high-output 6.7-liter Cummins turbo diesel I6 paired with an Aisin six-speed automatic transmission designed for enhanced durability. This powertrain delivers 420 horsepower and an impressive 1,075 lb.-ft. of torque for a powerful truck that tows with ease.

The Strong Towing Capability

For the engine with the most towing capacity, you’ll want the high-output 6.7-liter Cummins turbo diesel. This engine has a maximum towing capacity of 37,090 pounds.

You’ll have no problem towing the family RV or a large boat with either of the other engines. The available Cummins 6.7-liter turbo diesel has a maximum towing capacity of 22,660 pounds. The standard HEMI V8 gas-powered engine follows closely behind with 18,210 pounds of maximum towing capacity.

The Largest-in-Class Available Fuel Tank Capacity

The crew cab models with eight-foot beds have an available fuel tank capacity of 50 gallons. This is a great option for drivers who tow a lot or go on long trips. For comparison, the entry-level Tradesman trim with the eight-foot bed and regular cab has a 32-gallon fuel tank.

The Impressive Towing Features

Ram has a close eye on the details that make towing a better experience. The tailgate handle area is well-illuminated by a standard LED trailer hitch light that enhances visibility when securing the trailer. Telescopic trailer tow mirrors offer peace of mind by providing drivers with a better view of the trailer while driving. These mirrors extend for a clear view and retract for flexibility while parking in tight spaces.

An available mirror-mounted camera system offers another vantage point while towing. The available trailer reverse steering control gives you greater precision while connecting. When activated, the feature will control the truck’s steering wheel while you use a knob to fine-tune the trailer’s direction as you hook up.

The Ram 3500 is the perfect truck for drivers who need a powerhouse they can rely on. The best way to know if this is the right truck for you is to experience what it’s like behind the wheel. Contact Acadiana Dodge Chrysler Jeep Ram Fiat in Lafayette, LA to schedule a test drive.
