Unmatched Diesel Performance and Capability At the heart of this powerhouse is the legendary Cummins High Output 6.7L I-6 diesel direct injection engine. Delivering a formidable 430HP, this intercooled turbo diesel is engineered for longevity and extreme performance. For those who spend their days commuting through the San Bernardino Valley or navigating the grades near Claremont, CA, the Engine retarder system provides essential assistance, helping to manage speeds effectively when descending with heavy loads. The Cummins High Output I6 configuration is a staple in the industry, known among professionals for its reliability and massive output. Managing that power is the 8-Speed TorqueFlite HD Automatic Transmission, which offers smooth, precise shifts even under significant stress. The Transmission electronic control and Lock-up transmission features ensure that power delivery is efficient and responsive to your inputs. To keep you informed of the vehicle&39;s vitals during long hauls in the California heat, the dashboard includes a Transmission fluid temperature gauge and an Engine/electric motor temperature gauge. This level of technical transparency is vital for owners who treat their vehicles as an extension of their business. The Rear-Wheel Drive (4x2) drivetrain is paired with a Mechanical limited slip differential, ensuring that you maintain traction when it matters most. The suspension is equally robust, featuring a Rigid axle front suspension with a multi-link setup and a Leaf spring rear suspension designed to handle the substantial weight associated with the Dual Rear Wheels. This combination provides a stable, predictable ride whether the eight-foot bed is empty or filled to capacity. For those cold mornings, the Supplemental Heater and Heavy Duty Engine Cooling system ensure the Cummins engine operates at peak performance from the moment you hit the Smart key with push button start. Advanced Technology and Seamless Connectivity Modern work requires modern tools, and the 2026 RAM 3500 Tradesman does not disappoint. The centerpiece of the cabin is the massive 12-inch primary display featuring the Radio: Uconnect 5 Nav w/ 12.0-inch Display. This system is not just for entertainment; it is a mobile command center.

Small details, like the Illuminated front beverage holders and Fade interior courtesy lights, add a touch of convenience to your early morning or late-night drives. The Manual Adjust 4-Way Driver Seat and Manual Adjust 4-Way Front Passenger Seat allow you to find the perfect position for long-distance comfort. For added visibility, the Power-Adjustable Convex Aux Mirrors and Power Heat Fold Telescopic Mirrors are essential when navigating tight spaces with a trailer. The Auto-Dimming Rear-View Mirror helps reduce glare during night driving, while the N95Bio cabin air filter ensures that the air inside the cabin stays fresh and clean, which is a significant benefit for those living in our active suburban areas.
