Underneath, the Ram 3500 gets several updates for 2019. Ram is using more high-strength steel and aluminum in the frame and throughout the bodywork, reducing the truck's overall weight. There are new bushings and mounts to increase ride comfort and decrease noise. And for more standard power, the Ram 3500 now has the previously optional 6.4-liter V8 instead of the old standard 5.7-liter V8. It's hooked up to a new eight-speed automatic transmission. And, of course, you can still get the Ram's optional 6.7-liter six-cylinder turbodiesel (made by Cummins) paired with a six-speed automatic transmission.
Inside, the 2019 Ram 3500's cabin can be decked out in some surprisingly premium materials in the higher trim levels. Feature highlights include a new optional 12-inch Uconnect infotainment screen and available safety options such as adaptive cruise control, forward collision warning and blind-spot monitoring. Of course, if all you want is a basic work truck, Ram can set you up that way, too.
None of these upgrades or changes make the 2019 Ram 3500 any less capable. In fact, it's the opposite. With more power and less weight than previous models, the Ram 3500 can tow and haul more than ever before. And with more interior tech than ever, it might be the most livable heavy-duty truck we've ever driven.
Edmunds' Expert Rating
Trim Tested: Ram 3500 Limited
Each vehicle typically comes in multiple versions that are fundamentally similar. The ratings in this review are based on our first drive of the Ram 3500 Limited (turbodiesel 6.4L inline-6 | 6-speed automatic | 4WD).
Performance: 6.7-liter turbodiesel torque rules
The standard V8 is powerful, but the 6.7-liter turbodiesel is where it's at. The abundance of power and torque makes moving this massive truck easy, even with a trailer in tow. Despite its size, the 3500 is relatively easy to drive, even with the dual rear-wheel setup. The steering is light enough for quick turns and highway maneuvers.
Comfort: Mostly bumpy, still competent cruiser
The 3500 has a bumpy ride most of the time, but it's not unbearable. A quiet interior, well-padded seats and a forgiving suspension make for a totally competent highway cruiser.
Interior: Plush luxury touches and smart layout
With all sorts of available leather-wrapped surfaces and wood grains on the dash, the 3500 can look and feel like a plush luxury SUV. Buttons and interior controls are laid out in a logical and easy-to-use manner, and there's plenty of space in every seating position for adults. Thanks to large windows and a relatively low beltline, visibility is excellent.
Storage: Tow ratings prove serious muscle
The standard V8 in the Ram 3500 can tow as much as 18,210 pounds, depending on the cab configuration you choose. Go with the big turbodiesel and that capability nearly doubles to a maximum 35,100 pounds. The six-speed Aisin automatic paired to the Cummins turbodiesel has relatively quick upshifts, and it doesn't hunt for gears on long grades.
Technology: Uconnect screen and safety tech shine
The optional 12-inch Uconnect screen (the same one that debuted in the latest Ram 1500) is one of the most impressive screens in any new vehicle today. The Uconnect software that powers it is quick to respond to commands, easy to learn, and supported by ultra-crisp graphics. Optional safety tech such as adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring and forward collision warning are excellent additions on such a work-oriented rig.
Which 3500 does Edmunds recommend?
There are dozens of available configurations for the Ram 3500. For a basic workhorse, we recommend the base-level Tradesman. The luxury-oriented Limited trim level is on the opposite side of the spectrum. Can't decide? The Big Horn/Lone Star trim level is an appealing middle-ground pick.
2019 Ram 3500 models
The 2019 Ram 3500 is available in three cab styles, with two bed lengths and two powertrains. Depending on the configuration, the 3500 is offered in five different trim levels: Tradesman, Big Horn/Lone Star, Laramie, Laramie Longhorn and Limited.
Cab styles include a two-door regular cab, a four-door crew cab and a four-door jumbo crew cab called Mega Cab. The regular cab comes with an 8-foot bed only, while the crew cab has either the long bed or a short bed (6 feet 4 inches). The Mega Cab rides on the same wheelbase as the long-bed crew cab but combines an even bigger cabin with the short bed.
The standard engine for the Ram 3500 is a 6.4-liter V8 (410 hp, 429 lb-ft of torque) paired to an eight-speed automatic transmission. A turbocharged 6.7-liter diesel six-cylinder engine is also available. In its Standard Output form, the 6.7-liter diesel engine puts out 370 hp and 850 lb-ft and is matched to a six-speed automatic transmission. The High Output version of the diesel powerplant generates 400 hp and 1,000 lb-ft of torque. It's paired with a six-speed Aisin-sourced automatic transmission.
The Tradesman is the most basic trim. Standard feature highlights include 18-inch steel wheels, a locking tailgate, air conditioning, a 40/20/40-split front bench, a tilt-only steering wheel, a 3.5-inch driver information display, vinyl upholstery, and a six-speaker stereo, Bluetooth, a USB port, and a 5-inch touchscreen interface.
Power windows and locks, including the locking tailgate, are standard on crew-cab models, as are power-adjustable heated mirrors. Regular-cab models have manual controls and non-heated mirrors by default.
The Big Horn (Lone Star for shoppers in Texas) equips it with chrome exterior trim, 18-inch alloy wheels (chrome on the Lone Star), an integrated trailer brake controller, remote locking and unlocking, a power-sliding rear window, remote ignition, cloth upholstery, carpeted floors, and full power accessories for all body styles.
The Laramie builds off the Big Horn/Lone Star and adds more chrome trim, a soft-closing tailgate, LED headlights and taillights, foglights, a 115-volt power outlet, power-folding and auto-dimming mirrors, remote ignition, front and rear parking sensors, dual-zone automatic climate control, a 7-inch driver display screen, a power-adjustable driver's seat, leather upholstery, driver-seat memory functions, a power-adjustable front passenger seat, heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, a 10-speaker surround-sound audio system, HD and satellite radio, and an 8.4-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
The Longhorn supplements the Laramie's substantial features list by including a chrome mesh grille, a spray-in bedliner, LED bed lights, automatic high beams, automatic wipers, upgraded leather upholstery, heated and ventilated front seats, wood interior and steering wheel trim, power-adjustable pedals with memory settings, front bucket seats, heated rear seats, and a navigation system.
The Limited trim comes with power-deployable running boards, 20-inch wheels, additional chrome exterior trim, the RamBox cargo management system (which includes bedside storage compartments, an adjustable bed divider and tie-downs), and special black leather upholstery.
Many upper-trim features are available on lower trim levels as part of packages or as stand-alone options. Other optional equipment highlights include a load-leveling air suspension, a cargo-view camera, a 12-inch Uconnect touchscreen, wireless smartphone charging, adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert, forward collision warning, a 360-degree surround-view parking camera, fifth-wheel trailer preparation, a 17-speaker stereo system, a CD player and a sunroof.

Ram Trucks are Great
5 out of 5 starsCraig Newman, 03/22/2020
2019 Ram 3500 Big Horn 4dr Crew Cab 4WD LB (6.4L 8cyl 8A)
The New High Output Engine is great lots of power. Took a 1000+ mile trip towing a gooseneck trailer, mileage towing at 60-65 MPH was 12.1 MPG. Towing at 70-75 mileage dropped to 11.9 still not bad for a 3500 Ram Dually. Dave Smith Motors made this all possible with the best deals lowest prices and haggle free buying. One would be foolish to buy a Ram from anyone else.
Ram 3500 HO … still going strong, it has the power and smoothness to carry horses cows and other loads that require a smooth and steady ride. It handles the rough roads well with a load on. A great truck for towing.
Towed a 3/4 ton pick up on a flat bed and got 13.? MPG.
Overall as the truck gets broke in milage is improving, have gotten as high as 22 MPG but unloaded and not at interstate speeds.
After 42,000 miles truck is still running great, just barely broke in for a diesel. the HO engine and Aisen Transmission capabilities are still awesome.
Towed 15,000 pounds of fifth wheel trailer. It was stable and well proportioned in the ride some chucking but not too bad (mostly due to the trailer). The trailer had a high profile but the dually aspect helped to control the large load. I was very much impressed how the Ram 3500 preformed in this aspect.

I have a 2019 ram tradesman 3500. 32k miles on a cummins turbo diesel with connecting rod and connecting rod bearing failure on piston 5. They are not covering under warranty even though the exact same motor (only difference is the HO turbo) has been recalled for connecting rod failure.

New 2019 Ram 3500 Laramie has a lot of improvements comparing to my 2017 Ram 3500 Laramie. However, it came with a lot of quality/technical issues. My truck has 700 (seven hundred) miles on odometer, out of first two weeks of ownership I was deriving vehicle one week, another week it's in service. *** Previously owned 2017 Ram 3500 Laramie 4x4 with Cummins Diesel, heavy-duty transmission … and dual rear wheels, I've learned a few lessons and ordered this 2019 Ram 3500 Laramie in configuration, optimal for my task (10% recreational towing, 90% commute). By eliminating a few options that I almost never used previously, I have saved almost ~20k on purchase price. I decided to go with gasoline HEMI engine, no 4x4 and standard transmission with 2019 Ram 3500. *** The first catch was with specifications: Ram advertises ~150–200 lbs more in both payload and towing capacity in their marketing materials that actual vehicle was built and delivered (they explained it as those measurements were done for Tradesman trim and not applicable to higher trims like my Laramie). *** After delivery immediately second issue was realized – I was reinstalling fifth-wheel PullRite sliding hitch from my 2017 Ram 3500 and have found that my brand new 2019 Ram 3500 has distance between fifth-wheel prep sockets 3 mm longer on passenger side than on driver side. Fortunately, ISR frame by PullRite could accommodate this but on the length limit. *** Another surprise I have got after a few hundred miles – fueling truck was taking almost 40 minutes as nozzle was clicking back every quarter gallon. Dealership, after inspection, stated that "fuel line was crossed during manufacturing process" and still waiting for required parts for warranty replacement. *** Interior is definitely updated and feels much more luxury. I don't recommend going with their 12" screen as it's still driven by relatively old software, slow and buggy. Another catch – if you order Group 2 option you will have wireless charging for your smartphone, but will still need to connect device with original cable to use Apple Car Play (i.e. Google Maps). *** Comparing 2017 and 2019, I don't see too many visible exterior improvements (i.e. panoramic sunroof is available only on 2019 Ram 1500), the best difference for me so far – front LED lights, makes a huge difference driving at night. *** HEMI pulls my 16.5k lbs trailer very nice, I can't tell the difference in towing between my 2017 Ram with Diesel / AISIN and 2019 Ram HEMI. I didn't drive in mountains yet, but don't think gasoline engine doesn't have exhaust brake, it actually doesn't need it. For engine braking purposes you downshift from steering wheel with 2019 Ram 3500 HEMI. *** Overall, great improvements, but looks like Quality Control needs to be greatly improved at Ram factory.

2019 Ram 3500 Tradesman 4dr Crew Cab 4WD SB (6.4L 8cyl 8A)
Bought the 2019 Ram 3500 with the high output Cummins engine and let me tell you, this thing is a beast! I took my 37' Montana travel trailer fully loaded to Colorado and those steep mountain climbs were a breeze! Didn't even know the trailer was back there. Fuel mileage was about 11mpg but that was in or out of the mountains. The ride and stability was unmatched! Not only the best … truck I ever owned (And I have owned plenty) but so far the most reliable as well. Runs very quiet too. If you never owned one, go drive one!
2019 Ram Heavy Duty: Will it repeat?
2019 Ram Heavy Duty 2500 and 3500 First Look
Last year's Detroit Auto Show release of the 2019 Ram 1500 "half-ton" pickup was a real eye-opener. We later bought one for the Edmunds long-term test fleet, and it has proven itself to be a new standard for its segment. This time it's the 2019 Ram Heavy Duty 2500 and 3500 that have been fully redesigned, and our expectations are quite high. Could lightning possibly strike… twice? Dan Edmunds, our director of vehicle testing, looks them over to find out.
