2020 Ram 3500

Engine Options

If you are going to look into a truck with such an aggressive look, performance must also be on your mind. No worries here - the 6.4-liter HEMI V8 offers an impressive 410 hp, more than enough for work or recreational applications. Whether you are towing your boat to the lake for a weekend outing or transporting a load of concrete to a job site, the Ram 3500 will get you and your payload to your destination without bogging down.

For even greater power, there are two different Cummins turbo-diesel options. The base 6.7L Cummins provides an excellent 850 lb-ft of torque, but the High-Output version of the engine hits an even 1,000 lb-ft of torque. With either of these engines, you will be able to accomplish tough towing jobs with ease.

Towing and Payload

While the 2020 Ram 3500 is an exceptionally luxurious and powerful one-ton truck, it is ultimately towing and payload that determines whether it is worth buying. Fortunately, this truck doesn't disappoint with its max tow rating of 35,100 lbs and its max payload rating of 7,680 lbs. No matter what you are planning on hauling, this beast of a truck will never let you down. From hard work to vacation, you can count on the 2020 Ram 3500.

Countless Configurations

The 2020 Ram 3500 is available in a large number of configurations, giving you the option of personalizing your truck for your specific needs. You will find no fewer than three different cab styles, two different bed lengths, and a choice between a single or dual rear wheel configuration. Whether you need a simple cargo hauler for work or a vehicle that can fit your whole family in comfort as you pull a camper across the country, the 2020 Ram 3500 gives you that option.

The Regular Cab body style gives you two doors and seating for three when equipped with the standard 40/20/40 split front bench seat. This is a good choice for keeping weight down to maximize towing and hauling on a dedicated work truck. Upgrading to the Crew Cab will give you four doors and seating for up to six passengers. Finally, Ram offers its unique Mega Cab, which is effectively a stretched Crew Cab and gives your passengers exclusive reclining rear seats plus over 43 inches of rear legroom.

Powerful Looks

Although the overall look of the 2020 Ram 3500 exudes class and style, hiding under that exterior is a hard-working, high-performing truck. The sleek headlights and large grille give the vehicle an intimidating look that lets everyone know that this truck means business. The standard 18-inch wheels and optional 20-inch wheels only add to the bold and menacing look. 

When it comes to choosing the color of your 2020 Ram 3500, the sky's the limit. From Diamond Black Crystal and Flame Red to Robin Egg Blue and Omaha Orange, there are dozens of colors from which to choose. There are even a variety of eye-catching two-tone paint schemes to set your Ram apart from the crowd. Finally, you can choose options such as the Night Edition and Sport Appearance Package to further customize your Ram 3500. With this many options, building your dream truck is easier than ever before.

Long gone are the days when people cringed at the thought of having to drive for long periods of time in a truck. Slide behind the wheel of the 2020 Ram 3500, and you will feel like you are spending the afternoon at a spa. That might be a slight over-exaggeration, but this truck's interior is indeed filled with the features and technical gadgets that you need to make any journey a pleasant one.

If a quiet ride is what you desire, then the 2020 Ram 3500 offers Active Noise Cancellation and Acoustic Laminated glass. If you want to impress your friends or are just a hard-core audiophile, then you might want to consider the available class-leading 750-watt, 17-speaker Harman Kardon premium audio system. And let's not forget about the real wood and genuine aluminum interior accents found on the higher trims.

It is important to check out the trim levels for the Ram 3500 to ensure that you get the features you want. For instance, the Laramie offers leather seat trim with suede inserts and LED ambient lighting, while the Laramie Longhorn has Southwestern-themed leatherwork and trim-specific interior badging that makes for a truly unique cab. This truck has a lot of features to offer, and you should take the time to discover everything that is available.

Infotainment

The 2020 Ram 3500 stands out from the other one-ton trucks on the market for its impressive level of standard and available technology. Every trim can be equipped with an 8.4-inch infotainment display and the excellent Uconnect 4 software. This includes integration for both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, giving you access to all your favorite mobile apps while on the road, as well as SiriusXM satellite radio.

However, the crown jewel of the Ram infotainment system is the available 12-inch display. This is the largest screen in any truck currently on the market and gives you the option of a split-screen view, allowing you to stream music while displaying navigation information, for instance. And even though the 12-inch display is a responsive touch screen, it still offers plenty of hard buttons so that you can operate it without taking your eyes off the road.

Safety

Just as important as performance, looks, and interior comforts are the safety features found in the 2020 Ram 3500. These include automatic emergency, lane keep assist, adaptive cruise control, and blind-spot monitoring. Even better, all of these features have been specially modified to take trailering into account - the blind spot monitoring system, for instance, considers the length of your trailer when alerting you to vehicles you can't see. Even the automatic emergency braking and adaptive cruise control systems consider your trailer's weight when automatically slowing your truck.

But while other one-ton trucks on the market offer similar driver assistance features, there is one safety technology that is exclusive to the 2020 Ram 3500. This is the available Adaptive Forward Lighting System, which will automatically swivel the LED headlights up to 15 degrees to the side when you turn, allowing you to see around corners in the dark.
