Performance & Specs
Every 2026 Ram 3500 is powered by proven heavy-duty engineering that doesn't just meet expectations - it exceeds them. Two legendary engines anchor the lineup, both paired with advanced eight-speed automatic transmissions for optimal torque management and efficiency.
The standard 6.4-liter HEMI V8 delivers 405 horsepower and 429 lb-ft of torque. Built with variable cam timing and cylinder deactivation, it balances brute muscle with smart fuel control. Mated to the TorqueFlite® 8-speed automatic, it offers smooth shifting, confident acceleration, and dependable low-end grunt for hauling trailers or farm implements around Kingfisher.
For those who need maximum torque, the available 6.7-liter Cummins High Output Turbo Diesel reigns supreme. Producing 430 horsepower and an astonishing 1,075 lb-ft of torque, it transforms the Ram 3500 into a tow leader capable of pulling up to 37,000 pounds when properly equipped. Its heavy-duty TorqueFlite HD 8-speed automatic optimizes each gear for smoother power delivery, and its compacted graphite-iron block ensures the longevity that Ram diesel trucks are famous for.
With available 3.42, 3.73, and 4.10 axle ratios, the Ram 3500 can be fine-tuned for either efficiency or maximum pulling strength. Single Rear Wheel (SRW) models offer excellent maneuverability for urban and farm use, while Dual Rear Wheel (DRW) configurations maximize payload and stability for fifth-wheel or gooseneck trailers. Available 4×4 systems use electronic on-demand transfer cases for instant traction in mud, snow, or gravel.
