Ram 3500 Heavy Duty Performance Overview
Ram 3500 Heavy Duty performance across 10 verified tests spanning 2011 to 2025 centers on turbo-diesel towing hardware rather than broad powertrain variety. In the DS/DJ era (2010–2018), tested trucks used the Cummins 6.7L turbo-diesel inline-six, with output ranging from 350 to 385 hp. Early benchmarks set the pace: the 2011 Laramie Longhorn 6.7L Crew Cab DRW reached 60 mph in 8.4 seconds, while a 2014 Laramie Longhorn 6.7L Crew Cab DRW recorded 9.4 seconds, the slowest result in the data set.
The DT generation, in production since 2019, moved the same basic diesel formula forward with 400 to 430 hp versions of the Cummins 6.7L I-6. The first clear step came with the 2019 Limited 6.7L Mega Cab DRW at 8.1 seconds to 60 mph, and the current data peak is the 7.0-second run from the 2025 Laramie Sport 6.7L Crew Cab DRW, which also posted a 15.3-second quarter-mile at 89 mph. Today, the Ram 3500 Heavy Duty stands as a diesel-only heavy-duty pickup in this test history, with the current DT trucks producing the quickest acceleration yet recorded for the model.
