For heavy duty hauling and towing, however, customers will probably opt for one of three available 6.7-liter Cummins diesel engines. RAM pairs a 350-horsepower variant with a class-exclusive six-speed manual transmission. And in high-output form available only on the 3500, the Cummins engine delivers 385 horsepower and a staggering 850 pound-feet of torque.
Though a heavy duty truck, the 3500 is surprisingly smooth on the road. And, when properly equipped, its interior can compete head-on with luxury SUVs. Plus, the RAM's roomy interior cabin can easily become a mobile office thanks to optional features like Uconnect smartphone access and Wi-Fi hotspot capability.
