2022 Ram 3500 Redesign, Engine Options, Release Date

One of the most popular heavy-duty trucks, the 2022 Ram 3500, is getting minor refreshments. The new edition should gain some cosmetic upgrades and the same cabin treatment as the lighter Ram 1500. Surely, the most exciting news is a massive 12-inch Uconnect infotainment touchscreen system and more standard features.

Ram officials also confirm that the same treatment will also snag the upcoming model 2500. However, like its predecessor, the new Ram 3500 will be offered with one gasoline and two Cummins diesel engine. The class-leading capacity of 35,500 pounds can be achieved thanks to a potent 6.7-liter turbocharged diesel inline-6 that produces 400 horsepower and 1,000 lb-ft of torque. Those are astonishing figures that are in line with the rival Ford F-350 Super Duty.

The best-in-class truck, the 2022 Ram 3500, rises above many heavy-duty rivals. However, this time without any significant exterior changes. Like its predecessor, the new Ram 3500 still looks attractive and robust. It wears the same split grille that’s flanked with attractive LED headlights.

Like many heavy-duty trucks, the design will vary depending on chosen trim level. The most favorite and selling is the Power Wagon. This version has several updates, including a more massive black grille and a vast range of wheels. Like before, the new heavy-duty truck will be offered with single rear wheels or dual rear wheels, also known as “dually.”

Seductive Interior

The new 2022 Ram 3500 is the truck that looks handsome. This model comes with a vast number of trim levels and cab styles. Generally, every single version provides a comfortable cabin with many in-cabin tech features. A single cab, a spacious four-door Crew Cab, and the massive Mega Cab are available. Like the heavy-duty trucks from Ford, Chevy, and GMC, the Ram offers one of the best interiors in the segment.

There are many luxury-car-level detailing, extreme comfort, and a clean, modern design. However, if you’re looking for something more, the higher trim levels offer premium materials. The top Longhorn trim features wood and gold trim on the dash, doors, along with the Longhorn logo hand-branded. Perhaps the most significant update is Ram’s giant 12.0-inch reconfigurable touchscreen, which is the largest in the segment. Other features that are also available include navigation, a subscription-based Wi-Fi hotspot, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto.

2022 Ram 3500 Powertrain Options

The new 2022 Ram 3500 is a very rare truck that offers a choice of three engine options. The standard one is a 6.4-liter Hemi gasoline V8 engine that generates 410 hp and 430 lb-ft of torque. Some reports suggest more power for this engine, but nothing yet has been officially confirmed. The next one is a familiar 6.7-liter turbodiesel engine that generates 370 horsepower and 850 lb-ft of torque. This mill is available as well in the lighter Ram 2500 version.

However, the last one and the most potent is a 6.7-liter turbocharged diesel inline-6 developing 400 horsepower and over 1000 lb-ft of torque. A specially made ten-speed Alison automatic transmission is available along with the standard rear-wheel-drive system. However, an all-wheel-drive setup is still optional. With the most potent engine, the new Ram 3500 can tow over 35,000 pounds. Those are some astonishing results that can rival Ford’s F-350 Super Duty figure of 35,750 pounds.
