The Ram 3500 came onto the scene along with the completely redesigned Ram 1500 that debuted back in 1994. It was a completely different take on the popular pickup truck and opened a door for a new kind of one-ton, heavy-duty experience. The Ram 3500 came onto the scene to make a statement, offering higher towing capacity, greater payload, and a reinforced frame with an optional dual-rear-wheel configuration.
A full overhaul of the chassis, body, and powertrains for the next generation, including exclusive rack-and-pinion steering, helped further cement the Ram 3500 as a durable and rugged competitor in the market segment. Over the years, there have been improvements to the performance, upgrades to the towing capacity, and enhancements for the payload ratings. This would all help pave the way for additional overhauls during the fourth generation of Ram trucks. It was at the end of this generation when upgrades to the legendary Cummins diesel made the Ram 3500 the first one-ton truck to offer 1,000 lb-ft of torque for incredible performance.
The following years saw more boosts to the Ram 3500's capabilities, as well as refinements in its handling, suspension, and performance. Most notably was the inclusion of air-ride suspension with electronically controlled damping to help smooth out the ride and make towing and trailering heavy loads much more stable. Some of the more recent changes have focused on radical improvements to the technology, such as better connectivity, improvements to smart device integration, and more infotainment that not only helps make the ride more comfortable but also makes trailering hauling easier.
The Ram 3500 continues to push boundaries with its capabilities. The inclusion of higher tow ratings, consistent improvements to the suspension, and reinforced frames has made the Ram one of the chief go-to trucks for heavy-duty tasks. Additionally, the rugged dependability of the Ram 3500 makes it one of the more reliable one-ton trucks on the market.
The 2022 Ram 3500 is easily the most advanced Ram 3500 over the truck's entire run on the market. There is no arguing that to be the case when looking at the capabilities, the performance, the luxury, and the style that the 2022 model year brings to the table. The latest outing is available across five trims, including the Tradesman, Big Horn, Laramie, Limited Longhorn, and the Limited.
At the core of the heavy-duty pickup are three different engine options for the 2022 model year, including a 6.4-liter Hemi V8 gasoline engine that produces 410 horsepower and delivers 429 pound-feet of torque. For improved towing and extra muscle, the 6.7-liter Cummins standard-output turbo-diesel manages 370 horsepower and up to 850 pound-feet of torque. Finally, for maximum performance and utility, the 6.7-liter Cummins high-output turbo-diesel produces 420 horsepower with an extremely impressive 1,075 pound-feet of torque, a perfect powertrain for any heavy-duty load.
The 2022 Ram 3500's combination of a durable frame and powerful under-the-hood performance has enabled it to achieve a best-in-class tow rating of 37,090 pounds. When properly equipped, the Ram 3500 can also achieve a max payload capacity of 7,680 pounds, enabling it to carry some of the heaviest cargo you can fit into the rear bed.
In combination with the Uconnect 5's 12-inch HD touchscreen, infotainment features include Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration, as well as Bluetooth wireless support and Wi-Fi hotspot connectivity. It's easy to see why the 2022 Ram 3500 is a choice truck among discerning shoppers. The added trailering technology, including 360-degree camera views of the trailer, trailer hitch lights, and multiple cameras of the vehicle and trailer, the Ram 3500 is a robust and fully featured heavy-duty pickup for the modern age.
