New RAM 3500 vs. The Competition
RAM 3500 vs. Ford F-350 and Chevy Silverado 3500: Compare Heavy-Duty Trucks in Lancaster, CA
A heavy-duty truck can help you get a lot of work done in the San Fernando Valley, but you should also be comfortable while doing it. The new RAM 3500 can tow and haul humongous loads, while keeping you cozy and entertained inside. The Ford F-350 and Chevy Silverado 3500 are also brawny trucks, but they don't offer the same level of excellence as the RAM 3500. Hunter RAM of the West designed the following comparisons to help you decide between these three one-ton trucks.

RAM 3500 vs. Ford F-350
- Available Load-Leveling Air Springs: All heavy-duty pickups can pull or carry hefty weights, but the new RAM 3500 is the only truck in its class to offer load-leveling air springs from the factory. These springs can make trailer hookups in Bakersfield easier, and they keep the rear at a regular ride height when loaded with a trailer or bulky payload. The new Ford F-350 has solid towing skills, but it doesn't offer an adaptive air suspension.
- Fifth-Wheel/Gooseneck Towing Capacity: If you want to be able to pull livestock trailers or fifth-wheel campers to Santa Clarita, get the new RAM 3500. It can tow up to 37,090 pounds when equipped with available high-output 6.7-liter Cummins turbodiesel engine. The Ford F-350 Super Duty has a maximum fifth-wheel towing capacity of 32,900 pounds.
- Interior Quality: The new RAM 3500 has one of the finest interiors in its class. Victorville drivers will like its standard air filtration system, which helps minimize the amount of particles entering the cabin. RAM 3500 Limited trims have amenities like leather-covered seats and authentic wood or aluminum cabin accents.
- Available Stereo System: An available interior active noise cancellation system keeps most engine and wind noise out of the RAM 3500's cabin. All the better for listening to your favorite tunes while you're on the road in Lancaster. The RAM 3500's optional 900-watt Harman Kardon® premium stereo system uses 17 speakers to fill the cab with concert-like sound. The Ford F-350's available B&O audio system only has 14 speakers.
RAM 3500 vs. Chevy Silverado 3500
- Parking and Maneuverability: The new RAM 3500 is narrower than the new Chevy Silverado 3500. It also has a smaller turning radius, making it simpler to park and maneuver in Bakersfield than the Chevy.
- Fifth-Wheel/Gooseneck Towing Capacity: If you have especially unwieldly loads to tow in San Fernando Valley, go with the new RAM 3500. When equipped with a gooseneck trailer, it can tow up to 37,090 pounds. The Chevy Silverado 3500 can pull a maximum of 36,000 pounds.
- Ride Quality: The new RAM 3500 offers an available adaptive air suspension for a cushioned ride on paved streets in Santa Clarita. The Chevy Silverado 3500 doesn't offer a load-levelling air suspension.
- Cabin Accommodations: The new RAM 3500 Mega Cab has 43.1 inches of rear legroom, so even taller passengers in Victorville have plenty of room to relax. RAM 3500 trucks also have clean, modern styling and first-class interior appointments. Longhorn Limited trims have premium leather upholstery and striped wood and gold trim on the dash, doors, and gauges. Chevy Silverado 3500 trucks have leather seats in their higher trims, but they're not as luxurious as the RAM 3500's range-topping models.
