Key Features of the 2026 RAM 3500
High-Output 6.7L Cummins® Turbo Diesel I6
When the job demands authority, the available High-Output 6.7L Cummins® Turbo Diesel I6 answers with 430 horsepower and a towering 1,075 lb-ft of Best-in-Class available base diesel torque. Engineered for serious towing and sustained load hauling, the Cummins® powerplant is known for enhanced durability and a refined driving character that reduces noise and vibration. Pair it with integrated towing hardware like the available Fifth-Wheel/Gooseneck Prep Package, and you can maximize the platform’s capability with the confidence that comes from components designed to work in harmony. Add the available Automatic Smart Exhaust Brake to help manage downhill grades with a trailer in tow, and you’ll appreciate how the powertrain and braking systems work together to keep you in command.
TorqueFlite® HD Eight-Speed Automatic
Heavy loads demand smart shifting. The TorqueFlite® HD eight-speed automatic transmission is tuned to make the most of the Ram 3500’s diesel and gas powertrains, delivering smooth, seamless gear changes and responsive performance when you need to pull, pass, or crawl. Its intuitive software helps keep the truck in the right gear for the task at hand, reducing hunting on grades and supporting confident momentum while towing. The result is a power delivery that feels composed, predictable, and powerful—attributes that matter most when you are guiding a fifth-wheel down a narrow byway or merging onto a busy highway with a full trailer behind you.
Largest-in-Class 14.5-Inch Touchscreen with Uconnect® 5 NAV
Inside the 2026 Ram 3500, the available Largest-in-Class 14.5-inch infotainment touchscreen anchors a cabin designed to keep you informed and in control. Uconnect® 5 NAV allows you to create up to five driver profiles, access tow-specific navigation, and tap into available Ram Connect Services. Wireless Apple CarPlay® support for your iPhone® and wireless Android Auto™ compatibility help you keep cords out of the way and your focus forward. Available features like the Class-Exclusive 10.25-inch Front Passenger Interactive Display and Class-Exclusive Dual Wireless Charging Pads elevate convenience further. Layer in the available 12-inch Digital Cluster Display with full-color 3D graphics, Trailer Tow Pages, and Off-Road Pages, and you have an information hub that makes complex jobs feel simple.
Tow Tech: Trailer Reverse Steering Control and 360° Cameras
Available Trailer Reverse Steering Control lets you guide your trailer using a dedicated knob while the system manages steering inputs—ideal for backing into tight alleys or angled driveways. Pair that with the available 360° Surround View Camera and 360° Trailer Surround View Camera, plus the available Digital Rearview Mirror with side camera integration, and you get a near panoramic sense of your surroundings. These systems help you confirm clearances, check trailer alignment, and monitor lane positions with fewer guesswork moments. Add available Trailer Tire Pressure Monitoring to track pressures for up to four trailers via the 12-inch Digital Cluster Display, and the 2026 Ram 3500 becomes an indispensable partner for complex hauling.
Class-Exclusive Available Auto-Level Rear Air Suspension
Whether you are hooking up a heavy gooseneck or transitioning between job sites with varied loads, the Class-Exclusive available Auto-Level Rear Air Suspension helps maintain consistent ride height and stability. By compensating for tongue weight and shifting payloads, it smooths out the ride and enhances control—particularly valuable on rolling Shenandoah Valley roads or when navigating gravel job sites. The system’s benefits extend beyond comfort: better leveling can contribute to more predictable steering, braking, and trailer dynamics, which is exactly what you want when the stakes are high and margins are tight.
