Which 3500 Trim Is Right for You?
The Tradesman is the workhorse—perfect for contractors, farmers and fleets who need maximum capability at the lowest price. Big Horn adds comfort features that make long workdays easier.
Laramie, Limited and Longhorn pair heavy-duty towing with real luxury, making them favorites for owners who pull fifth-wheel campers or horse trailers long distances.
Ram publishes per-trim pricing in its build tool, which depends on cab, bed, rear wheels and engine. Our team can price exact configurations and show you what's on the lot.
Deciding between single rear wheels and a dually comes down to the load: dual rear wheels add stability and capacity for heavy fifth-wheel and gooseneck trailers, while single-rear-wheel trucks are easier to park and drive daily. Our team can walk you through the towing chart for any truck in stock so you can match the configuration to your trailer.
