The 3500 is the biggest, toughest and most capable pickup Ram has to offer. This car has achieved a huge success over the last few years and that is the reason why Ram has decided to upgrade the design.
Exterior
Ram turned his attention to the chassis, that was engineered to provide bigger roll stiffness for more confident, planted handling in turns. The other improving is in the point of dynamics with reciprocating ball steering system that provides better on-center feel. There is also an optional rear air suspension system, both single- and dual-rear wheel configurations, which is unique among heavy duty pickups, the setup makes up for an even more comfortable ride and includes a self-leveling function that adjusts the ride height to compensate for a payload or attached trailer.
Hopefully these tweaks are enough for a demandable customer. Exterior touches include a body-color front fascia, chrome bumpers, 17-inch polished aluminum wheels and no badges save for a small italicized block-letter “Limited” on the tailgate and the traditional Ram logo.

The same basic look a cabin remains untouched, some of the materials are upgraded and the new color themes are available. There are more soft touch materials through the whole truck and HVAC with many multimedia controls are added. The gauge cluster features a 3.5 or 7-inch (depending on trim level) information screen and a Sprint-powered wireless system are available for buyers who want to remain connected to their friends and family. Those who need extra storage space can order Ram Box storage bins, which can be locked and unlocked remotely. This is also a unique feature on 2016 Ram 3500 Laramie Longhorn.
In the car you can also find Chrysler’s Uconnect Access infotainment system, which is generally described as one of the most user-friendly infotainment setups on the market. Uconnect Access integrates most of the truck’s audio, navigation and climate control functions in one unit and displays it on 8.4-inch touch-screen that is placed on the center of the dashboard. There are also some redundant buttons and knobs for climate and audio volume and tuning included.
Engine and performance
Ram has also added a new 6.4 liter HEMI V8 option with 410 horsepower and 429 lb-ft of torque. For an extra cost, you can get that engine, to choose it over the standard 5.7 liter HEMI, which produces 329 horsepower and 400 lb-ft of torque. Both engines are paired with a six-speed automatic and feature a Multiple-Displacement System (MDS) which shuts off four cylinders under light load conditions to conserve fuel.
