2026 Ram 3500 Big Horn

Stepping up to the 2026 Ram 3500 Big Horn with the 6.7L Cummins Turbo Diesel marks the transition from a stripped-down commercial work truck to a highly capable, comfortable daily driver. In Texas, this exact truck is badged as the Lone Star trim, but structurally and mechanically, they are completely identical. What Changes from the Tradesman to the Big Horn?While a Tradesman is built for job sites with vinyl floors and plastic trim, the Big Horn introduces necessary creature comforts and a sharper look: Exterior Upgrades: You get chrome front and rear bumpers, a chrome grille surround, and 18-inch aluminum wheels. Interior Comfort: The rigid vinyl seating is replaced with comfortable cloth bench seating. Full carpeting is standard, and you gain access to a larger overhead mini-console. Standard Tech Lift: ParkSense Front and Rear Park Assist becomes standard equipment on the Big Horn, which makes navigating tight parking lots in a 1-ton truck significantly less stressful. The Infotainment Screen: It comes standard with an 8.4-inch Uconnect 5 touchscreen. However, unlike the Tradesman, the Big Horn allows you to option up to the 12-inch portrait-oriented touchscreen if you want the high-tech cabin look. Cummins Engine Options & OutputYou can choose between two versions of the 6.7L Cummins Inline-6, both mated to an upgraded 8-speed heavy-duty automatic transmission: Standard Output Cummins: 370 horsepower and 850 lb-ft of torque. High-Output (HO) Cummins: 430 horsepower and a massive 1,075 lb-ft of torque. (Note: The HO diesel is exclusive to the 3500 model line; you cannot get it in a 2500). Towing & Customization PotentialThe Big Horn is the "sweet spot" trim because it unlocks highly advanced towing packages that you can't get on a base model. If you plan on pulling heavy loads, keep an eye out for these specific options:Trailer Reverse Steering Control: An available dial on the dash that allows you to control the direction of the trailer while backing up, while the truck handles the steering wheel automatically. 360° Trailer Surround View: Utilizing cameras on the truck and trailer to create a digital bird's-eye view, entirely eliminating blind spots. Auto-Level Rear Air Suspension: Automatically detects a heavy fifth-wheel or gooseneck load and pumps up the rear air bags to keep the truck perfectly level, preventing sag and improving night-time headlight aiming.
