Over the past decade, pickups have been gaining steady improvements in both utility and everyday usability. Check out the 2020 Ram 3500, for example. Coming off of last year's full redesign, the 3500 boasts up to 35,100 pounds of towing capacity when fitted with its optional diesel engine. That's more than enough to haul whatever trailer you might want to pull. On top of that, the 3500 can do it while also keeping you comfy and connected with a premium cabin and the latest technology features.

Of course, Ram isn't alone in the heavy-duty truck game. Chevrolet, Ford and GMC all offer just as much power, towing and payload capability from their trucks.

Full-size heavy-duty trucks tend to engender incredible brand loyalty. But whether you're a Ram fan or just shopping for the best truck available, you'll find the 3500 to be a compelling choice.
Which 3500 does Edmunds recommend?

As a broad recommendation, the well-rounded Laramie trim is a good place to start since it includes many of the upscale luxury finishes and helpful driver aids found in the top-of-the-line Limited without breaking the bank.
