There are a lot of heavy-duty pickup trucks on the market, and the 2021 Ram 3500 is one of the best. Its power will blow you away, and its towing capacity is cheer-worthy. All of its features are impressive, but we narrowed it down to the top five that we think you’ll find the best. Let’s explore those together.
5 Truly Impressive Features of the 2021 RAM 3500
1. Its Towing Capacity
The RAM 3500’s towing capacity is really something to look up to. It’s come on leaps and bounds from last year. The 2020 RAM 3500 had a max towing capacity of 35,100 pounds with its diesel engine. This year, the diesel engine can lug 37,000 pounds. This beats many of the competitors, too.
2. Its Engine Options
There are two engine options available with the RAM 3500. The V8 engine is standard, and it’s incredibly powerful. It’s exactly what most people will need in a heavy-duty truck. However, if you need something extra sturdy, then you should consider the Cummins six-cylinder diesel engine. This engine can give you 1,075 pound-feet of torque, so you’ll really have a beast of a truck that can handle anything you throw at it.
Regardless of which you pick, the engine is paired to a six-speed automatic transmission, and the power that’s sent to the wheels makes this enormous truck easier to move than you’d expect. We find this highly respectable for a truck in this class.
3. It’s Easy to Manoeuvre
The RAM 3500 is surprisingly easy to maneuver for a truck of this size. The steering system is highly responsive, and driving it has a nimble feel. It’s easy to get this truck into tight spaces, too, making it a good pick for a city-dweller. The ease of driving it also means it’s a great entry-level model for someone who has never driven a truck this large all this heavy.
4. It’s Quiet
You’ll have a tranquil time in the cabin of the RAM 3500. The powerful engine does roar, but you won’t be able to hear it in your cabin. You also won’t be able to hear much wind or road noise. You’ll be able to have conversations and listen to your music with ease while you’re cruising down the highway or crunching across a trail in your highly-insulated cabin.
5. It’s Spacious
The RAM 3500 isn’t just big on the outside. It also has a spacious interior. There’s lots of headroom, legroom, and even elbow room in the cabin. The truck can hold four tall adults with no problems. You can also bring children in the vehicle with ease if you have to bring child safety seats, as there’s a latch system that’s simple to use when securing the seats. This will help you accommodate child safety seats of all sizes.
It even makes those bulky, rear-facing safety seats easy to fit into the vehicle, and anyone who owns one of those bulky child safety seats knows that it can sometimes be a struggle to get them to fit comfortably. The RAM 3500 ensures that the issue is no more.
