2017 RAM 3500 Performance and Engine

The Cummins 6.7L Turbodiesel Advantage

This truck is powered by the legendary 6-cylinder 6.7L Cummins Turbodiesel engine, paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission and full 4-wheel drive capability. The Cummins inline-six is widely regarded as one of the most durable and powerful diesel engines ever fitted to a pickup truck. In 2017 spec, it delivers up to 385 horsepower and up to 900 lb-ft of torque depending on configuration — numbers that translate into a maximum conventional tow rating that approaches 18,000 lbs and a 5th-wheel/gooseneck rating that can exceed 30,000 lbs.

The 6-speed automatic transmission handles power delivery smoothly at highway speeds and under load, and the 4WD system ensures you can get traction when conditions demand it — whether that's a muddy job site, a steep mountain grade, or an unpaved trail. For buyers in San Diego County who work across varying terrain from coastal flatlands to the inland hills and deserts of East County, 4WD on a truck this capable is a genuine asset.

RAM 3500 Laramie Features and Interior

Premium Trim in a Heavy-Duty Package

The Laramie trim level places this RAM 3500 firmly in luxury-work truck territory. Laramie buyers get genuine leather-trimmed seating, a heated and ventilated front seat setup, dual-zone automatic climate control, and a premium audio system. The Ram's infotainment system on this generation includes Uconnect technology with an intuitive touchscreen interface, Bluetooth connectivity, and navigation capability.

Outside, the Laramie trim adds chrome accents, body-color body panels, and upgraded wheels that distinguish it visually from base-spec work trucks. The 8-foot bed is equipped with a durable spray-in or drop-in bedliner setup typical for working trucks, protecting your cargo investment. Whether you're on the clock or on a road trip, the interior of this Laramie makes long hours behind the wheel far more comfortable than you'd expect from a three-quarter-ton heavy hauler.

RAM 3500 Reliability and Ownership

What Owners and Industry Experts Say

The third-generation RAM 3500 — particularly those equipped with the Cummins diesel — has earned a sterling reputation among truck enthusiasts and professional users alike. The 6.7L Cummins engine is frequently cited by owner communities as one of the most reliable diesel powerplants available, with many examples running 300,000 to 400,000 miles when maintained correctly. The Aisin or Ram-built 6-speed automatic transmissions on this generation are known to be robust under tow loads.

Common maintenance items to be aware of include diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) system upkeep, fuel filter changes at regular intervals, and coolant system servicing — all standard for modern diesel trucks. The RAM 3500's heavy-duty front axle and rear Dana 80 axle are built to handle the extreme torque figures this engine produces. Owners consistently report high satisfaction with the towing stability and braking performance, particularly when equipped with the integrated trailer brake controller that comes standard on Laramie trims.
