- The other gas engine is a 6.4-liter Heavy Duty V8 HEMI® that gives you best-in-class horsepower, allowing Baytown drivers to haul more than other trucks.
- Finally, the world-renowned 6.7-liter Cummins® Turbo Diesel I6 engine gives you 930 pound-feet of torque and up to 385 horsepower. It will handle heavy trailers up to 31,210 pounds.
Relax in Comfort as the Ram 3500 Handles the Hard Stuff
Whether you're hauling gear or heading out on the town for a night, you'll be doing it in a cabin built for your convenience and comfort.
It starts with the seats. With 10 ways to adjust your seat you can be sure to find the optimal position for long road trips. The seat memory system means you don't have to readjust, as the truck remembers how you like the seat and mirrors positioned. Plus, the available ventilated seats make dealing with the Pasadena heat much more manageable.
The Ram 3500 is on the forefront in terms of available technology. There's the available 8.4-inch touchscreen display that gives you easy access to your music, so you have the perfect work soundtrack, and navigation, so you never get lost. With Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ capability, you'll always have your favorite music and apps on hand. The cabin of the Ram 3500 was meticulously designed to give Mont Belvieu drivers tons of storage options. Second-row under-seat storage keeps necessary tools, like jumper cables, close at hand and out of sight. | ![]() |
The storage options in the bed are even more impressive. The RamBox® Cargo Management System features compartments above the wheels that eliminate wasted space. It also has a bed divider/extender that allows for secure storage with the tailgate down. To top it all off, the cargo boxes can be unlocked with the push of a button, so you don't have to struggle with keys.
