RAM 3500 Big Horn Night Dual Crew Caisse 8pi Cummins *ARRIVAGE AOUT*2026 RAM 3500 Big Horn Crew Cab 4x4 - Night Edition, High-Output Cummins Diesel and Dual Rear Wheels
The 2026 RAM 3500 Big Horn Crew Cab 4x4 is built for people who haul serious weight. Under the hood, the High-Output 6.7L Cummins Turbo Diesel makes 430 horsepower and a massive 1,075 lb-ft of torque - enough to move a loaded gooseneck trailer without breaking a sweat. Dressed in the Night Edition and riding on dual rear wheels, this one-ton combines a blacked-out attitude with the raw capability of a true work truck. And like every 2026 RAM, it's backed by the industry's best powertrain warranty: 10 years or 160,000 km. For a contractor, farmer or big-RV owner in the region, it's a working tool and peace of mind in one package.
Performance and Powertrain
The heart of this RAM 3500 is the legendary Cummins inline-six. In High-Output form, it delivers 430 horsepower and 1,075 lb-ft of torque, among the highest in the class. All that muscle arrives low in the rev range, so the truck launches with authority and climbs grades without strain, even with a heavy load behind it.
For 2026, the engine pairs with the new TorqueFlite HD eight-speed automatic, built by ZF. Closer gear spacing means smoother shifts, better torque management while towing and quieter highway cruising. The exhaust brake holds the rig back on long descents and spares the service brakes - a real advantage when you're bringing a heavy trailer down a grade.
Towing and Payload
This is where the RAM 3500 Big Horn earns its keep. Set up as a Crew Cab with the 8-foot box, 4x4 and dual rear wheels, it's rated to tow up to 33,890 lb (about 15,370 kg) with a gooseneck hitch, and to carry a payload of up to 5,530 lb (about 2,510 kg). Gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) is 14,000 lb (6,350 kg) and gross combined weight rating (GCWR) is 42,800 lb (about 19,415 kg).
This unit comes factory-prepped for gooseneck and fifth-wheel towing, which makes hooking up a commercial trailer, equipment deck or large recreational vehicle far simpler. The dual rear wheels widen the stance and steady the load - a clear benefit when a crosswind hits on a long, open stretch. Keep in mind that maximum payload and maximum towing aren't achieved at the same time; the GVWR and GCWR always take priority.
The 189-litre (50 US gallon) fuel tank adds welcome range. On long work routes or a camping trip, that means fewer stops at the pump and more distance between fill-ups.
4x4 Capability and Winter Driving
In Quebec, a truck that can't handle winter isn't much use. The RAM 3500's four-wheel-drive system sends power where it's needed when grip runs short - loose snow on a back road, an icy job-site entrance or a snow-covered hill on a regional route. The driver selects the mode that suits the conditions, and the diesel's weight over the front axle helps keep things tracking straight.
Electronic stability control, electronic roll mitigation and trailer-sway control all work in the background to keep the rig in line. Combined with the truck's mass and wheelbase, they inspire real confidence on March slush and the first November snowfall alike. Proper winter tires sized for the truck are still recommended.
Exterior Style and Night Edition
The Night Edition gives this RAM 3500 a commanding, deliberately dark presence. The RAM badge, the 3500 emblems and the powertrain lettering go black, along with the grille surround, grille billets and headlamp bezels. The front and rear bumpers are painted body-colour, the mirrors take on a black finish, and the Sport Performance hood adds a muscular look up front.
It all sits over Diamond Black Crystal Pearl paint and a monotone presentation that carries the black-on-black theme right through. On its dual rear wheels, the truck has a wide, planted stance that stands out - whether on a job site or in the hardware-store parking lot. LED headlamps round out the look while improving visibility after dark.
Comfort and Cabin
The Crew Cab seats five adults with room for their gear, and full-size rear doors make getting in and out easy. Up front, the premium cloth bucket seats are heated and power-adjustable, so you stay comfortable through a long day on the road or the job.
Power-adjustable pedals let every driver dial in the right position, regardless of height. Dual-zone automatic climate control lets the driver and passenger set their own temperatures. And even loaded with tools, the cabin's generous storage keeps the essentials within reach.
Technology and Connectivity
Front and centre on the dash is the 12-inch Uconnect 5 touchscreen with navigation, a system known for its speed and clarity. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connect automatically, keeping your phone in your pocket and your eyes on the road.
For owners who outfit their truck with work accessories - beacons, a winch, a compressor, auxiliary lighting - the auxiliary switches built into the dash let you wire and control those add-ons cleanly, with no makeshift wiring. It's the kind of detail that sets a genuine work truck apart.
Safety and Driver Assistance
The 2026 RAM 3500 arrives with a solid safety foundation. Adaptive cruise control maintains a safe gap to the vehicle ahead, while forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking watches traffic and can step in if an obstacle appears, including pedestrians and cyclists.
Electronic stability control, electronic roll mitigation and trailer-sway control add a valuable margin of safety, especially under load. The ParkView rear back-up camera makes manoeuvring and trailer hook-ups easier, and the back-up alarm warns people nearby when you're reversing on a site. LED headlamps and tail lamps improve visibility in all conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much can this RAM 3500 Big Horn tow?
In this configuration (Crew Cab, 8-foot box, 4x4, dual rear wheels, High-Output Cummins), maximum towing reaches 33,890 lb with a gooseneck hitch, which the truck is factory-prepped to accept. That's more than enough for most large gooseneck trailers, commercial equipment decks and recreational vehicles in the region.
What are the payload and GVWR?
Payload is rated up to 5,530 lb, and gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) is 14,000 lb (6,350 kg). Remember that maximum payload and maximum towing don't add together: you always have to stay within the truck's GVWR and its GCWR of 42,800 lb.
Which engine does this truck have, and how is it different from the gas V8?
This unit gets the High-Output 6.7L Cummins Turbo Diesel, making 430 hp and 1,075 lb-ft of torque, versus the standard 6.4L HEMI V8. The diesel stands out for its low-end torque and its endurance under heavy towing; it's the logical choice if you regularly pull big loads over long distances.
Is this RAM 3500 comfortable on Beauce winter roads?
Yes. The 4x4 system, stability control and trailer-sway control help keep it tracking on snow and ice, and the diesel engine's weight over the front improves traction. On a snowy back road or a regional hill, the extra grip of four-wheel drive is welcome. Proper winter tires sized for the truck are still recommended.
What does the Night Edition add?
The Night Edition darkens the truck's appearance: black emblems, grille surround, headlamp bezels and mirrors, body-colour bumpers and a Sport Performance hood. Paired with Diamond Black Crystal Pearl paint, it delivers an aggressive monotone look without giving up any work capability.
What technology features are on board?
The dash includes the 12-inch Uconnect 5 touchscreen with navigation, plus wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. For work, the auxiliary dash switches make it easy to add and control accessories such as a beacon or job-site lighting.
How is the 2026 RAM 3500 warranted?
Every 2026 RAM is covered by the industry's best powertrain warranty - 10 years or 160,000 km - for the original owner. It covers key engine, transmission and driveline components, which is a meaningful advantage when you keep your truck for the long haul.
Who is this RAM 3500 Big Horn best suited to?
It's aimed at contractors, farmers, excavators and large-RV owners who need to tow and haul heavy on a regular basis. The dual-rear-wheel setup and gooseneck prep clearly point it toward serious loads rather than simple around-town use.
Why buy this truck at Daniel Paré Dodge Chrysler?
Because our team helps you choose the right configuration for how you'll actually use it and stands behind you after the sale, diesel maintenance included. You get local, hands-on service and the support you need to keep your RAM 3500 working for years.
