The RAM is the clear winner of this comparison. Â Thanks to its impressive horsepower, it can pull loads as heavy as 8,260 kg. Moreover, it has a payload capacity of 3,494 kg. Despite this competition-beating muscle, however, the 3500 also has the efficiency of smaller-engine pickup during highway cruising.
The 2021 RAM 3500 Tradesman utilizes Variable Cam Timing (VCT) technology, which provides consistent power regardless of the load. It also has a Multi-Displacement System (MDS), enabling it to lower fuel consumption when at a cruising speed (leading to its impressive efficiency).Â
