When it comes to performance, no heavy-duty pickup can outshine the new 2022 Ram 3500. Even the competing 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 can’t stand up against this beast in a test of strength. Just look at these numbers from the models’ diesel motors.
Â
First, the new Chevy Silverado 3500 can be equipped with a 6.6-litre Turbo Diesel Duramax V8. Generating 445 hp and 910 lb-ft of torque, it can pull up to 16,329 kg (36,000 lbs) when fitted with the Fifth-Wheel/Gooseneck feature. While that all looks good on paper, the Ram can do you one better!
Â
Housing the Turbo Diesel 6.7-litre High-Output Cummins Inline-6 engine, the new Ram 3500 is capable of delivering 420 hp and a staggering (Best-In-Class) 1,075 lb-ft of torque. As for hauling, a Fifth-Wheel/Gooseneck attachment will ramp up the maximum towing limit to 16,824 kg (37,090 lbs). That is another Best-In-Class number. So, if you need a hard-working truck that won’t be limited on a construction site, this is the best option on the market.
