2026 Ram 3500

Explore the Ram 3500 at Portage Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram

When a job genuinely calls for the heaviest-duty truck in the lineup, the Ram 3500 is where that conversation starts. It's built for dual rear wheels, serious gooseneck towing, and the kind of daily payload that would overwhelm a half-ton truck. Portage Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram carries the 3500 for local buyers running heavy trailers, RVs, or job-site equipment that demands real capability rather than a truck that merely looks the part.

A Cummins Horsepower Increase for 2026

The biggest mechanical change this year is under the hood: the available High-Output 6.7-liter Cummins Turbo Diesel now produces 430 horsepower, up from 420 the previous year, while holding steady at 1,075 lb-ft of torque. It's paired with a TorqueFlite HD eight-speed automatic transmission built specifically to handle that kind of output over the long haul.

A Standard 6.4-Liter HEMI V8 for Gas-Powered Buyers

For buyers who prefer gasoline power, the standard engine is a 6.4-liter HEMI V8 rated at 405 horsepower and 429 lb-ft of torque. It's a genuine alternative to the diesel rather than an afterthought, and it's worth cross-shopping against the Cummins based on how the truck will actually be used.

Up to 36,610 Pounds of Towing Capacity

With the Cummins diesel and dual rear wheels, the 2026 Ram 3500 can tow up to 36,610 pounds, the highest-rated capability in the Ram truck lineup. Payload tops out at 7,590 pounds with the HEMI V8, giving buyers two distinct paths depending on whether towing or hauling matters more for their work.

Snow Plow Prep Now Standard on Every Trim

New for 2026, snow plow prep, including a 220-amp alternator and dedicated plow wiring, is now standard equipment across every 2026 Ram 3500 regardless of trim level. That's a genuinely useful change for municipal and commercial buyers who previously had to add it as a separate option.

A Largest-in-Class Available 14.5-Inch Touchscreen

Inside, an available 14.5-inch infotainment touchscreen, the largest in its class, makes navigation and trailer-related information easy to view at a glance. It's paired with advanced safety and security features designed to give drivers confidence whether they're hauling a trailer or running empty.

A 50-Gallon Fuel Tank on Select Crew Cab Models

For drivers covering long distances between fill-ups, an available 50-gallon fuel tank is offered on 2026 Ram 3500 Crew Cab models with an 8-foot bed. Combined with the truck's towing capability, that added range matters for anyone hauling equipment well outside town.
