Every model in the new 2021 Ram 3500 lineup can be fitted with the turbodiesel 6.7-litre Cummins Inline-6 motor. This available powertrain delivers best-in-class torque, especially with the High-Output version.
Â
With this particular engine, the truck also includes the “Smart†Diesel Exhaust Brake. This is an automatic system that allows you to slow the pickup down during a descent without aggressively pumping the pedal.
Â
You should also note that if your speed is not increasing, then the intelligent braking will not apply.
Â
To activate the feature, simply press the button that is appropriately labelled. The “Exhaust Brake†symbol will switch from yellow to green to indicate that it is enabled. To turn it off, push it again.

As the top-of-the-line trim in the fleet, the 2021 Ram 3500 Limited comes with a few safety features that will keep you safe everywhere you go.
Â
In larger vehicles like trucks and SUVs, blindspots can be deadly. Luckily, this Ram 3500 model comes with a monitoring system that will keep tabs on yours. Any time another car drives up beside you, a notification will be triggered to let you know that it is not the right time to change lanes.
Â
Another aid that assists with preventing accidents is rear cross-traffic alert. Operating in unison with the ParkView backup camera and ParkSense front/back sensors, this element will detect obstacles that move behind you when you are in reverse.
Â
Finally, rain-sensing wipers will keep your field of vision clear during inclement weather.

Whether you are hauling loose gravel or a bed full of machinery, the new 2021 Ram 3500 ensures that you can deliver your payload with no problems at all.
Â
Not only do these heavy-duty trucks come with a spray-in bedliner for protection from scratches, but they can also be equipped with a Cargo View Camera.
Â
This available feature is integrated into the centre high-mounted stop lamp above the back window on this pickup. It displays a live video feed on your interior infotainment touchscreen that showcases the entirety of the box and rear bumper.
Â
The usefulness of this innovative component cannot be understated. You can keep an eye on valuable goods during transport. If you notice pieces flying out, you can pull over and make adjustments.
Â
You can even see the Fifth-Wheel, Gooseneck, or trailer hitch hookups.

With powerful engine options available from HEMI and Cummins, the 2021 Ram 3500 boasts a robust performance no matter which one you pick.
Â
Since these motors are such beasts, they require some tweaking as far as the capability enhancements go. One of the best additions to the lineup this year is the Ram Active Air Intake System.
Â
This class-exclusive feature automatically responds to changes in the road conditions and temperature. As these dynamics shift during your drive, the mechanism will adjust the amount of oxygen it pulls in without any extra input from you.
Â
Taking a closer look, one example of this can be seen in high altitude areas and also in extreme heat. The component will draw cooler air from the front of the truck in this case. On the other hand, the same action will be performed from underneath the hood inlet if it’s raining outside.
