2022 Ram Towing Capacity & Technology
Maybe the biggest draw of a heavy-duty pickup truck, like the Ram 3500, is its ability to tow literally anything.
The Ram 3500 is so strong, it could take a house with it. This is thanks to its maximum towing capacity of 37,090 pounds—the best in its class—when equipped with the 6.7L High-Output Cummins® Turbo Diesel I6 engine. It also has a maximum payload of 6,570 pounds.
How does this happen? It’s partially due to the brute force of its 3-engine lineup, which features:
- 6.4L HEMI® V8: Offers Best-in-Class 410 horsepower and 429 lb-ft of torque, along with a maximum towing capacity of 18,210 pounds and a maximum payload of 7,680 pounds.
- 6.7L Cummins® Turbo Diesel I6: Offers 370 horsepower and 850 lb-ft of torque, along with a maximum towing capacity of 22,670 pounds and a maximum payload of 6,840 pounds.
- 6.7L High-Output Cummins® Turbo Diesel I6: Produces 420 horsepower and Best-in-Class 1,075 lb-ft of torque.
Nowadays, it’s not enough to have a powerful truck—you need your truck to be smart. Thankfully, the Ram 3500 is exactly that.
Offering amazing towing technologies, like the available Trailer 360° Surround View Camera, Trailer Hitch Light, available Digital Rearview Mirror with Tow Mode, and the Trailer Tire Pressure Monitoring system, you’ll never have to worry about the status of your trailer or setting it up.
2022 Ram 3500 Tailgate
On any truck, the tailgate is a great tool for hauling work materials, using as a makeshift table, or even as a seat to hang out on. The tailgate on the Ram 3500 is all that and so much more. For easier opening, you can release the tailgate using an available key fob control, so you won’t have to get out of the cabin.
For extra stability when loading or unloading materials, regardless of what they are, you can utilize the available kick-out bed step.
A couple other useful features you’ll find yourself utilizing often include:
- LED bed lighting
- 115-Volt/400-Watt Bed Outlet
For storage purposes, you’ll love the available RamBox® Cargo Management System, which is located on the side of the truck. You can keep almost anything in it. You can store tools and luggage.
You can even use it as a cooler to keep perishable items cold, if you’re tailgating. To drain the water from melted ice, you can take advantage of the drainable storage bins, so there’s no mess.
2022 Ram 3500 Safety
No matter where you are, you need your vehicle to act as a second set of eyes in the event that danger is imminent. The Ram 3500 is more than capable of doing this, thanks to its many intuitive safety features.
These safety systems include:
- Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop
- Available Forward Collision Warning with Active Braking
- Available LaneSense® Lane Departure Warning
The Ram 3500 can also help you easily back in and out of parking spaces, with the ParkSense® Front and Rear Park Assist. The sensors will beep when objects are closing in on you or are impeding your path. The closer together the beeps are, the closer you are to an object. This will help take the guesswork out of trying to park.
