Competitive Strengths
How the 2026 RAM 3500 Stands Out
- Diesel torque lead: Best-in-Class available base diesel torque up to 1,075 lb-ft
- Touchscreen size: Largest-in-Class available 14.5-inch infotainment display
- Trailer assistance: Available Trailer Reverse Steering Control and 360° Trailer Surround View

While other heavy-duty pickups deliver high horsepower and towing numbers, the 2026 Ram 3500 pairs its capability with smarter tools that make tough jobs simpler. Some competitors cannot match the combination of Best-in-Class available base diesel torque, the Largest-in-Class available touchscreen, and the extra precision of Trailer Reverse Steering Control plus 360° Trailer Surround View. Others lack a Class-Exclusive available Auto-Level Rear Air Suspension, which helps keep trailers settled and steering confident on rough pavement or gravel. For Murray drivers hauling across US-641, navigating rural roads out by New Concord, or backing a fifth-wheel near Kentucky Lake, these details matter. The Ram 3500 stands out by helping you work smarter—delivering the clarity, control, and comfort you notice every time you hitch up.
