RAM 3500 Big Horn Night Crew Caisse 8pi Cummins *ARRIVAGE AOUT*2026 RAM 3500 Big Horn Crew Cab 4x4 Cummins High Output - the diesel dually that backs down from nothing
When the job calls for a truck that simply will not quit, the 2026 RAM 3500 Big Horn Crew Cab 4x4 answers the call. Under the hood, the legendary High Output Cummins Turbo Diesel delivers a calm, bottomless kind of strength built for loaded equipment trailers, flatbeds and the largest fifth-wheel and gooseneck RVs. With dual rear wheels, a full crew cab and factory gooseneck towing prep, this is the tool for people who pull heavy, pull often, and do it across the roads and back concessions of the Beauce and Chaudière-Appalaches. And for 2026, every RAM is backed by the best powertrain warranty in the industry: 10 years or 160,000 kilometres. That is real peace of mind, season after season.
A Cummins powertrain built around torque
The heart of this 3500 is the 6.7-litre High Output Cummins Turbo Diesel, an inline-six that produces 430 horsepower and a massive 1,075 lb-ft of torque. That figure is more than a line on a spec sheet - it is the feeling of a deep, ready reserve when you take on a grade with a full trailer behind you. Peak torque arrives very low in the rev range, so the truck pulls hard from the first few revolutions without having to be wound out.
All of that muscle is managed by the TorqueFlite HD eight-speed automatic transmission, engineered to handle full loads and shift smoothly even under strain. On the way down, the Cummins' smart exhaust brake steps in to control your speed without leaning on the service brakes. On the region's long grades, that means less wear, more control and far less stress.
Towing capacity and payload
This is where a dually earns its keep. In this exact configuration - crew cab, 8-foot box, High Output Cummins engine and dual rear wheels - the RAM 3500 can tow up to 33,890 lb, roughly 15,370 kg, with a gooseneck or fifth-wheel hitch. That puts the biggest fifth-wheel trailers, heavy equipment haulers and flatbed loads well within reach.
On the payload side, the truck handles up to roughly 5,530 lb, close to 2,508 kg, leaving room for a serious load in the box on top of the driver and passengers. Gross combined weight rating reaches 42,800 lb, and the whole truck is built around a 14,000 lb gross vehicle weight rating - the figure that lets a dual-rear-wheel three-quarter-ton post numbers like these. Those dual rear wheels add valuable stability, too: the wider footprint keeps the trailer planted and helps tame sway in crosswinds and through curves.
This unit also carries factory gooseneck and fifth-wheel towing prep, which makes installing the in-box hardware far simpler. And with its 189-litre fuel tank, it covers long distances between fill-ups - a genuine advantage when you string jobs together far from home.
4x4 capability and Quebec winters
A work truck has to deliver twelve months a year, and a Beauce winter gives nothing away. The four-wheel-drive system with transfer case sends power to all four corners when the road turns nasty, whether it is a snowed-in driveway, a muddy site, or an icy back road at first light. Paired with the weight and torque of the Cummins, it gives reassuring traction to move, pull and stop in tough conditions. Keyless entry gets you going quickly, and the truck's sheer mass contributes to settled, planted behaviour on the highway, even when you are running empty.
A bold look with the Night Edition
This 3500 does not blend in. Finished in Ceramic Grey in a monochromatic treatment, it wears the Night Edition package, which swaps chrome accents for black: badging, surrounds and exterior trim take on a dark finish that gives the truck a muscular, modern stance. The wheels carry a darkened treatment as well, fully in keeping with the theme. The result is a dually that looks as serious as it works, equally at home at a job site or in the driveway.
A cabin built for long days
Inside, the crew cab offers room to spare for five and all their gear. This unit is fitted with premium cloth front bucket seats, comfortable over long hauls and split by a centre console that adds plenty of storage and workspace. The black interior is hard-wearing and easy to live with day to day, exactly what you want from a truck that works for a living.
Dual-zone climate control lets the driver and passenger each set their own temperature, a welcome comfort when the days run long. Between the seats, in the doors and under the rear bench, storage is generous and well thought out, keeping tools, paperwork and personal items close at hand.
Technology and connectivity
Thanks to the Big Horn Level 2 Equipment Group, this unit features the Uconnect 5 system with a 12-inch touchscreen and navigation. The interface is quick, clear and easy to use, even with gloves on. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto bring your apps, maps and music across without plugging in the phone, while SiriusXM satellite radio and the upgraded audio system make the long drives go easier.
For work, the screen provides dedicated trailering pages that gather useful trailer and hitch information in one place. It is the kind of tool that makes manoeuvring a heavy load simpler and safer, especially if you hook up and drop trailers regularly.
Safety and confidence behind the wheel
Safety in a truck that pulls heavy starts with control. This RAM 3500 includes an integrated trailer brake controller, which modulates the trailer's brakes in concert with the truck's, essential for stable stops with a big load. Trailer sway control helps correct swaying before it becomes a problem.
Day to day, the rear-view camera makes manoeuvring and hitching easier, and the reverse warning alarm this unit is equipped with alerts people nearby when you back up on a site or in the yard. Add park-assist sensors, traction control, electronic stability control and hill start assist, and you have a truck that stays composed in every situation.

Frequently asked questions
What is the towing capacity of this RAM 3500 Big Horn Crew Cab 4x4?
In this configuration - crew cab, 8-foot box, High Output Cummins engine and dual rear wheels - it can tow up to 33,890 lb, roughly 15,370 kg, with a gooseneck or fifth-wheel hitch. That covers the largest fifth-wheel RVs and heavy equipment trailers. For the heaviest loads, the factory gooseneck prep it carries makes fitting the right hitch straightforward.
What is the payload of this truck?
Payload reaches roughly 5,530 lb, close to 2,508 kg, which leaves a comfortable margin for equipment, tools and occupants. Keep in mind that payload and towing capacity are not added together: the weight of the trailer, passengers and cargo all have to stay within the truck's limits.
What is the difference between the High Output Cummins and a gas engine?
The High Output Cummins Turbo Diesel stands out for its 1,075 lb-ft of torque, available very low in the rev range, which makes it unbeatable for pulling heavy over long distances and climbing sustained grades. It also offers the smart exhaust brake for descents. It is the logical choice for anyone who regularly tows very heavy loads.
Is this RAM 3500 suited to Beauce winters and roads?
Yes. Its 4x4 system with transfer case, its weight and the Cummins' torque give it excellent traction on snow, ice and mud. Whether you are on Highway 73, the back concessions or a soaked job site, the truck moves and stops with confidence. The dual rear wheels also add to overall stability.
Who is this Big Horn trim for?
The Big Horn is aimed at the worker who wants genuine capability without giving up modern comfort. With the Level 2 group, it adds the 12-inch touchscreen, wireless connectivity and more refined exterior touches, while keeping the toughness of a diesel dual-rear-wheel three-quarter-ton. It is the ideal balance between work tool and everyday vehicle.
What trailering technology does this truck offer?
It includes an integrated trailer brake controller, trailer sway control and a rear-view camera for manoeuvring and hitching. The Uconnect 5 screen provides dedicated trailering pages that bring the useful information together in one place. The reverse warning alarm adds an extra layer of safety when backing up.
What kind of fuel range does it have?
Thanks to its 189-litre fuel tank, this 3500 can cover long distances between fill-ups, a clear advantage for anyone stringing jobs together far from home or covering the region end to end. As a heavy-duty truck it is not subject to official fuel-economy ratings, but the diesel's highway efficiency remains one of its strengths.
Does the 2026 RAM come with a strong warranty?
Yes, and it is a major selling point. Every 2026 RAM model is backed by the best powertrain warranty in the industry: 10 years or 160,000 kilometres. For a truck expected to work hard for years, that protection is real long-term value.
