Bigger and stronger, the 2021 RAM stands out as the most dependable heavy-duty truck. Available in I6 and V8 engines, the RAM 3500 is an award-winning, full-size truck with great towing and payload capacity. These RAM trucks are reliable and durable workhorses capable of towing up to 37,100 pounds, thanks to Fiat Chrysler Automobiles’ (FCA) robust engineering.
1. Engine Performance
The 2021 RAM is available in three different engine variants: a six-cylinder Cummins, a 6.4-liter V8 HEMI, and a 6.7-liter Cummins turbodiesel I6 engine. The Cummins I6 engine produces 370 hp and 850 lb-ft of torque, while its high-output counterpart produces 400 hp and 1075 lb-ft of torque. The gas-powered V8 HEMI is mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission and produces 410 hp and 429 lb-ft of torque.
2. Towing and Payload Capacity
Both I6 diesel engines are paired with a six-speed automatic transmission, which combines with the RAM’s rugged engineering to produce a powerful powertrain. The Cummins high-output 3500 boasts of an impressive towing capacity of 37,100 pounds. When equipped with the V8 engine, the RAM enjoys best in class payload capacity of up to 7,680 pounds.
3. Exterior Design
Bolder, stronger, and most fierce than its predecessors, this RAM truck is built to impress and exceed the rigorous demands of heavy-duty applications. For most models, the exterior espouses a rugged and aggressive design, but the Big Horn and Laramie models come with a sportier look. The Ram’s grille and fascia are accented by chrome inserts on top of the headlights and below the lower fog lights.
4. Interior Design
