2014 Ram 3500: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The 2014 Ram 3500 gets a meaningful mechanical update rather than a full redesign. The biggest change is the addition of a 6.4-liter HEMI V8, which provides a stronger gas-engine alternative to the standard 5.7-liter V8.
About the 2014 Ram 3500
4th-generation Ram Heavy Duty (2010-2018), second year after the major 2013 heavy-duty update.
Ram positions the 3500 as a max-capability heavy-duty pickup that does hard towing and hauling work without feeling stripped down inside. Its core appeal is choice and capability: Regular, Crew, or Mega Cab; single- or dual-rear-wheel setups; gas V8 or Cummins diesel power. Against rivals, Ram leans on headline towing strength and a more comfortable, better-finished cabin, especially in the upper trims.
The 2014 lineup runs from the basic, job-focused Tradesman to the fully equipped Laramie Limited. Big Horn and Lone Star balance work capability with features such as a power driver’s seat, a 5-inch touchscreen, remote start, and an integrated trailer brake controller. Laramie models move upscale with leather seating and an 8.4-inch touchscreen, while Longhorn and Limited add details such as navigation, heated rear seats, and upgraded cabin trim.
What changed, by category

Tech
The SLT’s 5-inch touchscreen and Bluetooth changed from optional to standard equipment.
Trim lineup
Laramie Limited joined the lineup, while Laramie Longhorn Limited Edition was dropped. Laramie Longhorn Edition was renamed Laramie Longhorn, and ST Tradesman was shortened to Tradesman.
