New Ram 3500 Heavy-Duty Truck in Springfield, MO

The Ram 3500 is the maximum-capability pickup available to Springfield buyers — the choice when commercial-grade payload, the industry’s highest gooseneck tow rating, and the confidence of a dual rear wheel platform are what the job actually requires. Corwin Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram of Springfield carries new Ram 3500 trucks in Tradesman through Limited trims, in both single rear wheel (SRW) and dual rear wheel (DRW) configurations, serving agricultural, construction, and commercial buyers throughout southwest Missouri.

Ram 3500 Powertrain: The 6.7L Cummins High Output

The flagship powertrain for the Ram 3500 is the 6.7-liter High Output Cummins Turbo Diesel — 420 HP and 1,075 lb-ft of torque paired with the Aisin AS69RC six-speed heavy-duty automatic transmission. This is the engine-transmission combination that produces the Ram 3500 DRW’s 37,090 lb gooseneck tow rating and 7,680 lb maximum payload rating when properly equipped — the highest figures in the segment.

For buyers who prefer gasoline or whose application doesn’t require diesel’s maximum torque, the Ram 3500 is also available with the 6.4L HEMI V8 producing 410 HP and 429 lb-ft. The gas engine reduces upfront cost and eliminates diesel fuel and DEF fluid management, while still providing genuine heavy-duty truck capability for applications within its ratings.

Single Rear Wheel vs. Dual Rear Wheel (Dually)

The Ram 3500 is available in both SRW and DRW configurations, and the choice matters significantly:

• Ram 3500 SRW — Standard wheel width, better maneuverability in tight spaces and on rural roads, adequate for most fifth wheel and gooseneck applications under approximately 20,000 lbs. The right choice for buyers who want Ram 3500 capability without the dually’s width penalty in daily driving.
• Ram 3500 DRW (Dually) — The dual rear wheel setup widens the rear track, dramatically increases payload stability for heavy gooseneck and commercial loads, and unlocks the Ram 3500’s maximum tow and payload ratings. Required for the highest-capacity applications — heavy horse trailers, large fifth wheel RVs, commercial flatbeds and dump bodies, and gooseneck hauls approaching the segment-leading 37,090 lb rating.

Ram 3500 Trim Levels in Springfield

The Ram 3500 spans from the commercial-grade Tradesman through the luxury-equipped Limited, with the same trim progression as the Ram 2500 — Tradesman, Big Horn, Laramie, Power Wagon (SRW only), Longhorn, and Limited. For Springfield’s commercial and agricultural buyers, the Tradesman and Big Horn represent the most practical entry points. For buyers who spend significant time in their trucks and want the premium interior quality that Ram’s heavy-duty line delivers, the Laramie and Longhorn represent compelling value versus the new truck alternative.

Ram 3500 for Agricultural and Commercial Buyers Near Springfield

The southwest Missouri agricultural market — livestock operations, row crop farms, and the commercial infrastructure that supports them — puts specific demands on a heavy-duty truck that the Ram 3500 is purpose-built to meet. The 37,090 lb gooseneck rating covers loaded stock trailers; the available Tradesman regular cab provides maximum bed access and the simplest possible work truck platform; and the 6.7L Cummins’s diesel fuel efficiency reduces cost-per-mile on the rural routes that define agricultural hauling in Greene, Christian, Webster, and surrounding counties.

Frequently Asked Questions: Ram 3500 in Springfield

• What is the maximum tow rating on the Ram 3500? A properly equipped Ram 3500 DRW with the 6.7L High Output Cummins diesel, Aisin transmission, and Max Tow Package can tow up to 37,090 lbs gooseneck — the highest gooseneck tow rating of any pickup truck. Fifth wheel rating on the same configuration reaches 23,000 lbs.
• What is the payload capacity of the Ram 3500? Maximum payload on a properly configured Ram 3500 DRW reaches up to 7,680 lbs — the highest in the segment. Payload varies by cab style, engine, axle, and tire specification; the placard on the doorjamb of the specific truck reflects the actual limit for that vehicle.
• Should I get a dually Ram 3500 or single rear wheel? For gooseneck loads over approximately 20,000 lbs, commercial service body applications, or maximum payload work, the DRW is the right choice. For buyers who want Ram 3500 capability but primarily operate on narrow rural roads or in urban environments where width is a constraint, the SRW provides meaningful capability with better daily maneuverability.
• Does the Ram 3500 come with the Cummins diesel? The 6.7L Cummins Turbo Diesel is available on all Ram 3500 trims. The High Output version producing 420 HP and 1,075 lb-ft is recommended for maximum towing applications. Call (417) 815-4992 to confirm current diesel inventory availability.
