As a heavy-duty truck leader, the Ram 3500 continues to impress with its robust capabilities and refined interior. With the recent release of the 2026 model, many Ram enthusiasts in the Clifton Park area are wondering what's changed compared to the outgoing 2025 version. In this blog post, we'll take a closer look at the key differences between the 2025 and 2026 Ram 3500.
Powertrains Carry Over
Under the hood, the 2026 Ram 3500 retains the same formidable engine options as its predecessor, making it perfect for Rochester drivers who need power and capability to spare. The standard 6.4-liter V8 HEMI delivers 405 horsepower and 429 pound-feet of torque, providing ample power for most towing and hauling needs. For those requiring maximum capability, the available 6.7-liter Cummins Turbo Diesel inline-6 churns out an impressive 430 horsepower and 930 pound-feet of torque. Both engines pair with a TorqueFlite 8-speed automatic transmission for smooth, responsive shifts.
Trims and Equipment Updates
While the 2026 Ram 3500 continues to offer a wide range of trims, from the well-equipped Tradesman to the luxurious Limited, there are a few notable changes. The Big Horn and Lone Star trims now come standard with a 12-inch UConnect 5 touchscreen, which was previously optional. Additionally, the Power Wagon trim has been discontinued for the 2026 model year.
In terms of new features, the 2026 Ram 3500 introduces an available 360-degree camera system that provides a bird's-eye view of the truck's surroundings, making it easier to navigate tight spaces and tricky terrain around East Glenville. The Limited trim also gains a new 13-speaker Klipsch audio system for an enhanced listening experience.
Exterior and Interior Refinements
The 2026 Ram 3500 maintains its rugged yet refined exterior styling, with only minor tweaks. New wheel designs are available across the lineup, and the Limited trim receives updated LED headlights and taillights for a more modern appearance. Inside, the Ram 3500's spacious, well-appointed cabin remains largely unchanged, offering comfortable seating for up to six passengers depending on the configuration.
