The AISIN AS69RC six-speed automatic transmission is the only transmission offered in the 3500 lineup that is able to handle the stupid amount of torque pushed out of the engine. Only super cars with modifications beat the Ram 3500 in torque output, which is crazy when you view it in that mindset.īut, the engine can’t do it alone, and needs the help from a few other components.
That’s proof enough that the 20 is able to tow up to 31,210 pounds, especially when you consider this is the maximum amount of raw torque found on a commercial passenger vehicle without any aftermarket alterations. Upgrading the engine for 2016 gave the legendary 6.7 Cummins Turbo Diesel I6 engine a boost of 35 lb-ft of torque, which brings the overall torque output up to an insane 900 lb-ft. Here are some hard facts as to why the 20’s tow rating is legit, so you Ford fanboys can go pound sand. To those who agree, I’m here to rain on your parade, and prove you wrong. Because of this, naturally there are skeptics out there, who insist the Ram 3500 doesn’t have a legit tow rating. Lo and behold, the Ram now beats the F450 by ten pounds in towing capacity. Since there has been (and still is) a heated debate about whether the F450 is actually a Class III truck, Ram decided to say hell with it, and up it’s game with the 2016 model.
In 2015, the model successfully stomped on the Silverado 3500 and the F350, but lost to the F450. The 20 in Miami, FL, dominates the competition in towing capacity, landing best-in-class overall towing.
