How the RAM 3500’s Towing Capacity Compares to Other Heavy-Duty Trucks

Setting the Benchmark in Heavy-Duty Towing

At Pegasus CDJR, we’ve seen firsthand how drivers rely on real-world capability—especially when it comes to heavy-duty trucks. The RAM 3500 is one of the most capable pickups on the market today, purpose-built for high-stress workloads and long hauls. Its high-output 6.7L Cummins® Turbo Diesel engine delivers up to 1,075 lb-ft of torque and a maximum towing capacity of up to 37,090 pounds when properly equipped. Those numbers place the RAM 3500 ahead of several competitors in the segment, particularly when consistent strength under load is what matters most.

This level of performance isn’t theoretical—it’s tangible power that works in the field, at the job site, and on the highway.

RAM 3500 vs Other Leading Heavy-Duty Trucks

When comparing against other top heavy-duty models, the RAM 3500 consistently pushes the limits. Here’s how it stacks up:

• Ford F-350 Super Duty: Known for its powerful lineup, the F-350 tops out around 35,000 pounds of towing in gooseneck configuration. Impressive, but still slightly behind the RAM 3500 when comparing diesel-equipped models.
• Chevrolet Silverado 3500HD: Offers up to 36,000 pounds towing with its 6.6L Duramax® Diesel engine. Strong in numbers, yet RAM continues to edge out the competition in payload and torque delivery.
• GMC Sierra 3500HD: Features nearly identical specs to the Silverado, as both share General Motors engineering. While capable, neither GMC nor Chevy matches the RAM’s blend of comfort, torque, and braking technology.

What makes the RAM 3500 more than just numbers is the way it maintains stability, even under extreme stress. The available Auto-Level Rear Air Suspension helps reduce trailer sway and gives you control when it matters most.

Confidence at Every Hitch Point

Beyond raw power, RAM’s heavy-duty chassis is engineered to make towing feel less like work and more like confidence in motion. Whether you’re hauling livestock, construction equipment, or a large camper, the RAM 3500 responds with sure-footed handling.

• Integrated towing hardware with optional Fifth-Wheel/Gooseneck Prep Package
• Available Trailer Reverse Guidance for enhanced visibility and steering assist
• Rear Auto-Level Air Suspension for smooth height adjustment and load balancing

Technology plays a critical role too. With the available Digital Rearview Mirror and Trailer Surround View Camera, you gain a clear view from hitch to highway.

Built to Serve—Power That Works as Hard as You Do

The RAM 3500 continues to raise the bar for hard-working drivers who demand the most from their equipment. It’s not just a pickup—it’s a serious tool that doesn’t quit when the load gets heavy. At Pegasus CDJR, we help you put this capability to the test and ensure you’re outfitted with a configuration that delivers exactly what you need.
