The Ram 3500 is a brute with a soft side.

Luxurious interior finish · Compliant HD ride
Gas V8 lacks diesel punch · Competitors tow slightly more

The 2026 Ram 3500 is defined by its blend of luxury and capability. Climb inside, and you're greeted by an interior that feels more like a premium lounge than a heavy-duty workhorse. The ride comfort is surprisingly compliant for a truck of this stature, effortlessly gliding over bumps and ruts. What really surprised us, though, is how well Ram has managed to balance this with its inherent muscle. While the gas V8 doesn't quite match the diesel's charm, it still delivers a satisfying growl when you put your foot down. This is the truck for those who want their towing capacity served with a side of luxury. However, if you're looking for the ultimate towing champion, you might look elsewhere.

Our pick: Base ($47,785)
vs. Ford F-350: The Ford F-350 might edge out the Ram in towing capacity, but it can't match the Ram's interior sophistication and ride comfort.
