Explore the Power of the 2017 Ram 3500

If you have some serious heavy-lifting to do in the Raleigh and Durham, NC areas, you need a truck that can handle the task.  If the Ram 1500 and Ram 2500 don't quite cut it for your brand of hard work, the new 2017 Ram 3500 is sure to impress.  The Ram 3500 offers three extremely capable powertrain options and a host of features to help you do your work safely and efficiently.

Legendary Strength

Sheer power is easy to come by with the Ram 3500.  All of this pickup's powertrains offer massive carrying capacity and Herculean towing ability, but what can this truck really do with each?

Let's break it down.

5.7L HEMI V8 Gas Engine

This engine is standard fare for the Ram 3500.  Generating up to 383 horsepower and 400 pound-feet of torque when coupled with a six-speed transmission, it's more than prepared to handle your workload.  This engine grants a properly-equipped Ram 3500 a max towing capacity of 13,910 pounds and a max payload of 4,078 pounds to help you haul around heavy work materials and bulky camping gear like RVs.

6.4L HEMI V8 Gas Engine

If you need a bit more of a push to conquer your heavy-lifting, this beefed up available HEMI engine is sure to do the trick.  Two spark plugs for every cylinder help to reduce exhaust emissions, step up fuel efficiency, and increase power and torque. 

Churning out a class-leading max 410 horsepower and 429 pound-feet of torque, this engine helps you take your work a few steps further.  This brings a properly-equipped Ram 3500's max towing capacity to an impressive 16,520 pounds and boosts its max payload to 7,390 pounds.

6.7L Cummins Turbo Diesel I6 Engine

This available engine is the cavalry that is called in when the other powertrains, despite their power, just don't quite meet your needs.  This offers the Ram 3500 up to 385 horsepower and a stunning max 900 pound-feet of torque for heavy hauling.  With its Olympian max towing capacity of 31,210 pounds and max payload of 6,720 pounds, the hardest question you are faced with may be, "What can't I haul?"

To sweeten the deal, diesel-powered trucks are backed by a 5-Year/100,000-Mile Diesel Powertrain Limited Warranty.

Work Safely

The power to haul heavy workloads means very little if you can't do it safely.  That's why the Ram 3500 has several safety and driver-assist features to help you stay secure while you manage your heavy-lifting.

The available ParkView Rear Back Up Camera helps you see what is going on behind you when you back out of a driveway or parking space.

The Ram 3500 also comes standard with Electronic Stability Control.  This computerized system improves the truck's stability to reduce skidding and keep it going in your intended direction.

These are but a couple of the Ram 3500's features!
