The 2026 Ram 3500 dually, available at Terrace Chrysler in Terrace, BC.
Quick answer: The 2026 Ram 3500 is a one-ton heavy-duty pickup built for maximum towing and payload. It comes standard with a 6.4L HEMI V8 (405 hp / 429 lb-ft) and offers the 6.7L Cummins Turbo Diesel in Standard Output (370 hp / 850 lb-ft) or High Output (430 hp / 1,075 lb-ft) form. Properly equipped as a dually with the High Output Cummins and the new 8-speed automatic, it tows up to 36,610 lb (16,606 kg). Canadian pricing starts at a Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price of $61,140. Terrace Chrysler stocks and orders it now.
The 3500 is the truck you buy when the trailer is a heavy fifth-wheel, a loaded gooseneck equipment hauler, or a big RV headed to the Interior for the season. The 2026 upgrade that matters most is the driveline: the High Output Cummins now runs through a new TorqueFlite HD 8-speed automatic, giving you more gears to manage weight on grades and better control on the long descents we deal with all over the Northwest.
Most of the 3500s we deliver up here are working trucks. We will walk you through single-rear-wheel versus dually, the Standard Output versus High Output Cummins, and the axle ratio and hitch setup, so the truck is matched to the trailer you actually pull - not over-bought, and never under-rated.
405 horsepower and 429 lb-ft. The gas V8 is the value entry to the 3500 line, a strong choice for heavy payload work and moderate towing without the diesel premium.
370 horsepower and 850 lb-ft. Plenty of diesel torque and durability for most one-ton towing jobs, at a lower cost than the High Output.
430 horsepower and 1,075 lb-ft through the new TorqueFlite HD 8-speed automatic. This is the driveline behind the 36,610 lb maximum tow rating - the setup for the heaviest gooseneck and fifth-wheel loads.
The dually (dual rear wheel) 3500 is what makes the biggest numbers possible: the extra rear tires spread the load and stabilize a heavy trailer. For maximum tow ratings you need the High Output Cummins, the right rear axle ratio, and a gooseneck or fifth-wheel hitch. A single-rear-wheel 3500 is easier to live with day to day and still tows well past what any half-ton or three-quarter-ton can handle. Class-available rear air suspension helps level the truck under heavy pin weights, and the Cummins exhaust brake helps hold it all back on the descents. Actual capacity depends on the exact build, so our team confirms your rating before you hook up.

Properly equipped as a dually with the available High Output 6.7L Cummins Turbo Diesel and a gooseneck or fifth-wheel hitch, the 2026 Ram 3500 tows up to 36,610 lb (16,606 kg). Conventional (bumper-pull) towing runs up to roughly 23,000 lb. Actual capacity depends on engine, axle ratio, cab, drivetrain and hitch type.
Three: a standard 6.4L HEMI V8 (405 hp / 429 lb-ft), the 6.7L Cummins Turbo Diesel Standard Output (370 hp / 850 lb-ft), and the 6.7L Cummins Turbo Diesel High Output (430 hp / 1,075 lb-ft). The High Output pairs with a new TorqueFlite HD 8-speed automatic.
Properly equipped, the 2026 Ram 3500 carries payload up to about 7,680 lb, typically in dual-rear-wheel (dually) form. Payload varies with cab, box, drivetrain and engine, so confirm the rating for your specific configuration.
Choose a dually (dual rear wheel) for the highest tow and payload ratings and the most stability under heavy gooseneck and fifth-wheel loads. A single-rear-wheel 3500 is easier to park and live with day to day and still far out-tows any half-ton or three-quarter-ton. We will match the choice to your real loads.
The Standard Output 6.7L Cummins makes 370 hp and 850 lb-ft and handles most one-ton towing at a lower cost. The High Output makes 430 hp and 1,075 lb-ft, runs through the new 8-speed automatic, and is required for the 36,610 lb maximum tow rating. Choose the High Output if you pull the heaviest loads.
