There’s a war raging in the truck industry as automakers like Ram, Ford, Chevrolet, Toyota, and GMC work overtime to build and deliver the most capable workhorse ever made. A quick visit to your local Ram 3500 dealership, and you’ll see the truck that’s winning that war. A powerhouse on wheels, the Ram 3500 is designed to work hard, and the 2022 model is no different. The most powerful and most capable pickup truck in the segment, the 2022 Ram 3500 is a must-have if you need a road warrior that can meet all the demands of your life and the road ahead.
What makes the 2022 Ram 3500 so remarkable? Ram proves that a workhorse can be both rugged and luxurious, from its best-in-class towing capacity of 37,090 pounds to its cabin that oozes opulence and innovation. But that’s only the start of everything the 2022 Ram 3500 has to offer; here are the best features you’ll find on Ram’s heavy-duty powerhouse!
#10 – Stay Connected
Ram makes it easy to stay connected to your busy life with the all-new Uconnect 5 system that’s faster and more powerful than ever. Offering smartphone integration via Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, the system also features a Wi-Fi hotspot that turns the truck into a mobile office wherever you are. With over-the-air updates added for 2022, you never have to worry about updating the software since the truck does the work for you from the convenience of your driveway, garage, or any area with Wi-Fi.
#9 – Peace of Mind
Your safety is a top priority for Ram, and it shows on the 2022 Ram 3500. Available features like the Adaptive Forward Lighting System enhance your visibility in dim conditions, while the 15-degree turning headlamps let you see further ahead. The truck also features a suite of active and passive safety features that minimize the potential for collision. The suite includes tools like Forward Collision Warning with Active Braking, Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop, LaneSense Lane Departure Warning, and ParkSense Front and Rear Park Assist.
#8 – A Configurable Cabin
The Ram 3500 is a capable hauler whether you’re moving passengers, cargo, or both. Ram gives you three different seating configurations that allow you to customize the truck to your needs. The three-seat across rear configuration gives you plenty of room for passengers. You can fold up the single rear seat on the left for additional cargo space or, if you’re not hauling extra passengers, you can fold up all the rear seats for more cargo room.
#7 – An Immersive Listening Experience
Driving a workhorse like the Ram 3500 doesn’t have to be all work and no play. Ram makes your time behind the wheel more enjoyable by delivering a world-class listening experience courtesy of an available 900-watt Harman Kardon Premium Audio system. Featuring 17 speakers throughout the cabin, it’s like listening to a concert from every seat in the truck.
#6 – Bad Air Out, Good Air In
Think about where you do most of your driving. In many cases, those who drive a truck like the Ram 3500 spend a lot of time on dirt roads or in dusty environments, whether they’re hauling horse trailers, campers, or heavy equipment from one job site to another. For 2022, Ram adds an all-new air filtration system to the truck to filter out 95 percent of particulates in the air. This means that dust, smoke, and other debris stay exactly where they should – outside!
#5 – Access Made Easy
Loading and unloading cargo in the bed of any truck can be cumbersome, especially when you have to climb in and out of the bed repeatedly. Ram makes this easier on the 3500 with a kick-out bed step that easily deploys with a quick kick under the bumper. The tailgate is also easy to operate with a damper that makes it seamless to open and close. Opting for the power release tailgate adds another level of convenience since you can open the tailgate without ever leaving the cabin.
#4 – Versatile Cargo Management
Ram trucks like the 3500 are known for their versatility, and that continues to be the trend for 2022. The available RamBox Cargo Management System is one of the best in the industry because it maximizes the cargo space in the bed. The system adds two lockable and drainable storage bins to the sides of the truck. The bins are outfitted with LED lighting and an available power outlet, which extends their versatility and allows you the freedom of securing or powering your tools wherever you are.
#3 – Next-Level Towing
Ram knows that anyone who buys a truck like the 3500 will eventually pull a heavy trailer, which is why the automaker does everything possible to make towing easier. The available Auto-Level Rear Air Suspension features a Bed Lowering Mode that lowers the rear suspension so that it’s easier to hook up to a trailer. While all heavy-duty trucks are capable of towing a fifth-wheel or gooseneck trailer, Ram makes it easy by offering integrated mounting hardware straight from the factory. Using genuine parts installed by certified technicians, there’s no question regarding the quality and reliability of the hardware.
#2 – Work Smarter, Not Harder
The 2022 Ram 3500 works smarter and not harder to get the job done. To do this, the truck offers unique tools like the Trailer 360-degree Surround View Camera that gives you a bird’s eye view around the truck and trailer. The Digital Rearview Mirror with Tow Mode extends your visibility by using a camera connected to the rear bumper of your trailer, giving you a clear view behind your rig. This reduces your blind spots and gives you the confidence you need when you’re towing a heavy load.
#1 – A Powerhouse on Wheels
The 2022 Ram 3500 is designed to work, and that’s why Ram gives you the choice between three heavy-duty engines. The 6.4-liter HEMI V8 engine comes standard on every Ram 3500 and delivers best-in-class 410 horsepower and 429 lb-ft of torque. Paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission that delivers smooth and rapid shifting, the engine gives you enough power to tow up to 18,210 pounds or support a payload of 7,680 pounds.
Ram ups the ante with the available 6.7-liter Cummins Turbo Diesel I6 engine that’s mated to a six-speed automatic transmission. This combination makes the Ram 3500 more responsive and a capable hauler by delivering 370 horsepower and 850 lb-ft of torque with a maximum towing capacity of 22,670 pounds and a maximum payload of 6,840 pounds. But what if you’re looking for even more power?
Ram puts the “power” in “powerhouse” with the available 6.7-liter High-Output Cummins Turbo Diesel I6 engine, making the 2022 Ram 3500 the most capable truck in the segment. Mated to a fully-electronic Aisin six-speed automatic transmission, the engine delivers 420 horsepower and best-in-class 1,075 lb-ft of torque for maximum pulling and stopping power. This power is responsible for the engine’s best-in-class towing capability of 37,090 pounds, which makes the truck a true road warrior.
Confidence Behind the Wheel
The 2022 Ram 3500 is winning the war that rages in the truck segment, delivering the most capable and most powerful one-ton truck on the market. What other truck delivers the same level of capability, innovation, and luxury? Ram sweetens the deal by giving you the confidence you deserve to have in your purchase, whether you’ve just driven it off the lot or you’re nearing the 10,000-mile milestone. This confidence comes from Ram’s exceptional warranty program that reflects the automaker’s “Made to Last” promise and includes powertrain coverage and roadside assistance. It doesn’t get much better than that!
