Ram 3500 Towing Capacity

When properly equipped, the maximum Ram 3500 Towing Capacity with the diesel engine is 31,210 lbs. It also has a maximum gas payload of 7,390 lbs and offers a whopping 410 horsepower. Again, with the diesel engine, you get an impressive 900 lb-ft of torque, enabling the Ram 3500 to combine efficiency and power in a package that can handle just about any work need you might have.

Suspension Options

The towing capacity of the new Ram 3500 is directly tied to its outstanding suspension. The innovative three-link suspension in the front for both rear- and four-wheel drive models is essential to the 14,000-lb gross weight rating and the 39,100-lb gross combined rating.

The dual-rear-wheel model comes with a separate auxiliary leave suspension with the spring package. These springs give you much higher second- and third-stage ratings, and offer outstanding rear handling as well as very high payloads. In addition, there's an option for auto-level air suspension for the rear, ensuring you get a level load the entire ride regardless of terrain or cargo. All you need to do is push a button and you can select from dual height selections to get better alignment, all performed at quiet levels.

Plowing Capability

The Ram 3500 performance doesn't stop at incredible towing capacity either. When equipped with the available Snow Chief Package, the 2017 Ram 3500 offers class-leading plowing capacity of 1,265 lbs. This package, available on 4x4 single-rear-wheel models, allows you to be sure that you'll be able to get anywhere you need to go, no matter how bad the snow storm. Just attach the blade and attack the snow - get it out of your way with no trouble at all!

Other Features

Other features essential to your towing capabilities are the standard integrated trailer harness  connector, the heavy-duty frame-mounted tow hooks, the state-of-the-art valve system that's computer controlled and automatically switches air pulling to deliver optimal performance in any conditions, and the towing and hauling mode select feature to give you aggressive downshifting to meet the most demanding hauling needs.
