The 2016 RAM 3500 Heavy Duty was not the daily driver that someone would use unless it works on a daily basis with a trailer and a tractor in the back. But it was one of the hard-workers that never complained.
The RAM 3500 regular cab was all about work. It was a heavy-duty vehicle with the proper chassis, engine, and transmission. It was available as a crew-cab as well, if there was a team needed for the job, but it was hardly a pickup of choice if some would like to go camping unless it needs to tow 14157 kg (31.210 lbs) on a trailer.
For the 2013 model, the RAM removed the “Dodge” badge from it. It featured a new front fascia which, depending on the trim level, could have been chromed along with the bumper. More important was that it featured new transmission and body mounts, including hydro-mounts at C-pillar positions for class-leading NVH characteristics despite the truck’s aptitude for higher payloads and towing.
The 2013 model featured a wide choice for the infotainment unit, including an 8.4” screen for the U-Connect system. For the instrument cluster, the RAM 3500 was fitted with a standard 3.5” information center between the round dials, and an option for a more complex 7” TFT screen was available.
Since it was a heavy-duty pickup truck, it featured a reinforced chassis with high-strength steel and eight cross-members between the longitudinal chassis rails. There was a wide engine choice, either gasoline or turbodiesel. The latter was produced by Cummins. It was a 6.7-liter unit but with different power choices.

Designed as a heavy-duty pickup contender, the RAM 2500 Regular Cab was, unlike its four-door siblings, the workhorse of the family.
RAM introduced the new 2500 lineup in 2013 and placed it between the 1500 and the 3500 lineups. It was a Jack of all trades. Depending on the cabin, it could serve as a family vehicle with a boat attached behind it or as a workhorse. Since the Regular Cab version was the cheapest, naturally, it became a regular tool on construction sites.
Like the rest of the range, the Regular Cab was available in a few trim levels. While the lowest version featured black bumpers and front grille, at the other end of the scale was a version fitted with chromed bumpers and grille, alloy wheels, and foglights. The 2013 front fascia featured a new grille layout, with the cross-hair formed by thicker slats that sported the brand’s badge. In addition, the quad headlight system featured bi-functional halogen projectors and LEDs for parking lights and turn signals.
Inside, RAM installed either a pair of bucket seats or a seat plus a bench seat for two. The middle seat could have been converted by folding down the seatback into a table with three cupholders. On the center stack, the carmaker offered a basic sound system, but that could have been upgraded to an 8.4″ infotainment system that could show the image from the rear-view camera mounted on the tailgate’s handle. All versions featured column-mounted shifters for the automatic transmission.
The 2500’s underpinnings featured a newly developed chassis with 8 hydroformed cross-members and high-strength steel. Thus, the RAM 2500 boasted the highest towing capacity. Moreover, the RAM 2500 was offered with a 6.7-liter Cummins turbo-diesel powerplant mated to a six-speed manual. It was the only vehicle in the segment to offer that engine-tranny combo.
