2026 Ram 3500: Upgrades, Features, Power, Technology and More!
The 2026 Ram 3500 has officially arrived, raising the bar once again for heavy-duty pickups in Ontario. Known for its best-in-class towing strength and refined balance of comfort and technology, the newest 3500 proves why it continues to be a top choice for truck buyers. With meaningful upgrades from the previous year, expanded technology, and outstanding capability, this heavy-duty pickup is built to handle everything from job sites to long-haul adventures.
Notable Changes from the Previous Year
Ram has made the 2026 model the most advanced heavy-duty pickup in its lineup to date. While the rugged capability and proven powertrains remain, compared to last year, this model introduces a more intuitive digital experience, an expanded list of standard safety features, and enhancements to towing technologies. The updated 14.5-inch Uconnect® 5 infotainment system, refined interior materials, and Class-Exclusive options like the Front Passenger Interactive Display give drivers more convenience than ever.
Infotainment and Technology
Technology takes centre stage in this model. The available 14.5-inch Uconnect® 5 touchscreen is the largest in its class, supporting multiple profiles and tow-specific navigation. A 12-inch driver display provides clear, real-time vehicle data, while available Trailer Tow Pages and Trailer Reverse Steering Control make manoeuvring large loads easier. The Ram App with Ram Connect Services keeps you connected remotely, from locking your truck in downtown to starting it on a cold morning. Add the optional 900-watt Harman Kardon® premium audio system with 17 speakers, and the 3500 proves it can deliver both brains and beauty.
A Charming Exterior
The 2026 3500 looks every bit as powerful as it drives. Bold front-end styling, LED headlights, and available Mopar® Sport Performance Hood give it a commanding stance. The truck bed is smarter too, with options like the Class-Exclusive RamBox® Cargo Management System and integrated truck-bed lighting. Power convex trailer tow mirrors and LED hitch lighting make towing jobs simpler at night, while features like power-deployable side running boards improve everyday convenience. The Snow Plow Prep Package ensures the Ram 3500 can take on the harshest conditions.
Interior Comfort and Space
Step inside, and you’ll find the cabin designed for both work and luxury. Available premium leather seating, open-pore wood accents, and advanced climate controls make long drives more comfortable. Mega Cab® models offer Class-Exclusive reclining rear seats, while Crew Cab versions feature flat-load floors with in-floor Ram Bins for versatile storage. Optional dual wireless charging pads and a reconfigurable centre console ensure your gear and devices always have a place.
Engine and Performance
This Ram offers two proven powertrains: the legendary 6.4-litre HEMI® V8 and the available High-Output 6.7-litre Cummins® Turbo Diesel I6. The HEMI® produces 405 horsepower and tows up to 3442 kgs, while the Cummins® delivers 430 horsepower and an incredible 16,500 kgs maximum towing capacity, the best in its class. Both engines are paired with the TorqueFlite® 8-speed automatic transmission for smooth, efficient performance. For added capability, buyers can equip the Auto-Level™ Rear Air Suspension, making trailer hookups easier and enhancing ride comfort even under heavy loads.
Safety and Driver Assistance
Ram has expanded its safety suite for 2026, with over 100 standard and available features. Key highlights include Adaptive Cruise Control, Forward Collision Warning with Active Braking, LaneSense® Lane Departure Warning, and Drowsy Driver Detection. Available 360° Surround View and Digital Rearview Mirror technology make towing and parking far less stressful. Combined with smart trailer features like real-time trailer tire pressure monitoring, the Ram 3500 gives Ontario drivers confidence no matter the conditions.
