CarTell take
We haven't driven the 3500 yet. On paper, check your licence class: at 5352kg GVM the 3500 needs a light rigid (LR) licence unless it is derated to 4495kg. Also confirm the hitch you need, as the 8000kg rating requires the genuine gooseneck kit and the standard tow bar tops out at 4500kg.
Why consider it
- On paper nothing else in the directory comes close for hauling: 1458Nm, 1652kg payload and up to 8000kg on a gooseneck, with a fully loaded Laramie cabin as standard.
What to know
- At 6066mm long and with a 5352kg GVM it sits in the NB2 category, so it is a light truck in everything but name, and Ram does not publish a fuel figure.

Look at the alternatives if your trailer is under 4500kg and your licence is a standard car licence. The Ram 2500 shares the engine for $5000 less, and a 1500 or Tundra is far easier to live with.
