Ram redesigned its pickup trucks for 2019, and the 2021 models retain that new look. The five trim options mean buyers can opt for a fairly basic, functional Tradesman model, add in creature comforts by stepping up to Big Horn or Laramie, or go all in on a luxurious experience with Limited Longhorn or the top-of-the-line Limited. Regular cab, Crew cab, and Mega cab configurations create further customization opportunities, as do the two bed length options available with Crew cab. The standard engine for the 2021 Ram Heavy Duty lineup is a 6.4-liter V8. It makes 410 horsepower and 429 lb-ft of torque and is paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission. There’s also an available 6.7-liter Cummins diesel inline-six, which is offered in two versions: the standard-output variant makes 370 horsepower and 850 lb-ft of torque, and the high-output version makes 400 horsepower and a whopping 1,075 lb-ft of torque. Either way, the 6.7-liter Cummins engine is coupled with a six-speed automatic transmission. Rear-wheel drive (RWD) is standard, and four-wheel drive (4WD) is available. The Hotchkiss rear leaf-spring suspension is standard, and an optional supplemental air suspension system is available. Properly equipped, the 2021 Ram 3500 is capable of towing up to 35,100 pounds, and it has a 7,680-pound payload capacity.

The Big Horn trim gets cloth seats, 18-inch chrome-clad steel wheels, chrome grille surround and bumpers, and body-color door handles. Laramie models get leather-trimmed power seats, heated front seats, and dual-zone temperature control. They come with 18-inch polished aluminum wheels, a full chrome grille, and body-color door handles with chrome inserts. Limited Longhorn 3500s get premium leather seats which are ventilated for the front row and heated for the back row, a wood and leather interior treatment, granite painted 18-inch polished aluminum wheels, chrome side steps and window moldings, and a Limited Longhorn badge.

Stellantis’s Uconnect 3 infotainment system is standard on Tradesman models, where it’s hosted on a 5-inch display. A 3.5-inch driver information display cluster is also standard. The Laramie trim upgrades to Uconnect 4 with an 8.4-inch infotainment display and a 7-inch driver information display cluster.
