2026 Ram 3500: Frequently Asked Questions
What trim levels does the 2026 Ram 3500 come in?
The 2026 Ram 3500 is offered in the work-ready Tradesman, the popular Big Horn (badged Lone Star in some markets), the leather-equipped Laramie, the luxury Limited, and the Western-themed Limited Longhorn. Every trim can be built as a single-rear-wheel (SRW) or dual-rear-wheel (DRW) truck depending on how much capability you need.
What's the difference between dual-rear-wheel (dually) and single-rear-wheel?
A single-rear-wheel (SRW) 3500 has one tire per side out back and is easier to park and drive daily, while still offering serious capability. A dual-rear-wheel (DRW, or "dually") adds a second tire on each side of the rear axle, widening the stance for greater stability and the highest towing and payload ratings. If you plan to pull a large fifth-wheel or gooseneck at maximum weight, the dually is the configuration to choose.
How much can the 2026 Ram 3500 tow?
When properly equipped, the 2026 Ram 3500 can tow up to 36,610 pounds of maximum trailer weight. Reaching that figure requires the High Output 6.7L Cummins Turbo Diesel, dual rear wheels (DRW), a 3.42 rear axle ratio, 4x4, and a Regular Cab or Crew Cab with the 8-foot bed, along with the proper gooseneck hitch. The highest Gross Combined Weight Rating (GCWR) in that setup is 45,000 pounds. Towing capacity is lower on single-rear-wheel and gas-engine trucks, so match the configuration to your load.
What engine does the 2026 Ram 3500 use for maximum towing?
Maximum towing comes from the available High Output 6.7L Cummins Turbo Diesel inline-six, which produces 430 horsepower and 1,075 lb-ft of torque paired with a heavy-duty automatic transmission. A 6.4L HEMI V8 gas engine (405 hp) is standard and capable, but the High Output Cummins is what unlocks the 3500's headline tow ratings.
What is the 2026 Ram 3500's payload capacity?
Properly equipped, the 2026 Ram 3500 offers a maximum payload of about 6,050 pounds. The highest payload numbers come from dual-rear-wheel configurations, which spread the load over four rear tires. As with towing, exact payload depends on cab, bed, drivetrain, and equipment.
Do I need a dually to get the highest towing and payload?
For the top numbers, yes. The 3500's maximum 36,610-pound tow rating and roughly 6,050-pound payload require a dual-rear-wheel truck with the High Output Cummins and the right axle ratio and bed. Single-rear-wheel 3500s are still extremely capable and are often the better choice for daily driving, but they carry and pull somewhat less than an equivalent dually.
How much does the 2026 Ram 3500 cost?
Pricing depends on trim, cab, bed length, single- vs. dual-rear-wheel setup, drivetrain, and whether you add the High Output Cummins diesel, which carries a substantial premium over the standard gas V8. Because Ram Heavy Duty pricing and incentives change often, contact Mahon CDJR for current pricing and offers on in-stock Ram 3500s.
