“This RAM 2500 exceeds my expectations for power, drivability, towing and believe it or not gas mileage. The interior seating capacity, comfort and room of the cab is exceptional. Fun to drive.”
2024 Ram 3500: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The 2024 Ram 3500 is essentially a carryover, with no redesign or broad mechanical or technology update. The main change is on Laramie, where LED headlights and fog lights moved from standard equipment to optional.
About the 2024 Ram 3500
5th-generation Ram Heavy Duty (2019-2024), final model year before the 2025 heavy-duty refresh.
Ram positions the 3500 as a heavy-duty pickup that blends serious towing and payload ability with a more comfortable, more upscale cabin than many work-focused rivals. It is built for owners who tow large trailers, haul heavy loads, or need commercial-grade strength, but who also want multiple cab and bed choices, strong infotainment, and higher-end trims that feel more like luxury trucks. That mix of hard-work capability and cabin comfort is the model’s core identity.
The lineup runs from the work-focused Tradesman to the more polished Big Horn and Texas-branded Lone Star, both equipped with useful towing features such as an integrated trailer brake controller. Laramie adds leather seating, navigation, and parking sensors, while Longhorn and Limited bring richer leather, heated and ventilated front seats, and more upscale cabin trim. Limited also has blind-spot monitoring that covers a trailer.

“Nice Truck, lots of power, tows amazing, decent MPG, Laramie is a nice compromised trim level”
“It's a nice truck. Sometimes difficult to see around mirrors and passenger headrest. This truck is high off the ground as is, so could be difficult to get in and out of if elderly or have a disability.”
