Ram released their configurator for their 2019 Heavy Duty trucks.
NOTE: As of the evening of March 22, 2019, the configurator no longer appears to be available. We’ll provide a link on this post if it comes back up.
Ram brought the configurator online for the 2019 Ram 3500 HD, allowing potential buyers to spec out their specific trucks. We reported back in February that the Regular Cab Tradesman model with an 8-foot box would start at $33,395 excluding destination charges. Here, however, it seems Ram is charging slightly more for the base model truck, at $34,845, or $36,540 with destination. Head up the ladder to the other end of the Ram 3500 HD ladder, and you can easily spec a DRW Limited model over $90,000.
Ram will sell the 3500 model in five trim levels: Tradesman, Big Horn, Laramie, Laramie Longhorn and Limited. The starting prices for SRW 4×2 models of each trim are listed below. Prices include the $1,695 destination fee:
Base prices, by trim
Trim | Box Length | Starting MSRP (per configurator) |
Tradesman | 8′ (Reg. Cab) | $36,540 |
Big Horn | 8′ (Reg. Cab) | $40,890 |
Laramie | 6’4″ (Crew Cab) | $52,245 |
Laramie Longhorn | 6’4″ (Crew Cab) | $59,545 |
Limited | 8′ (Crew Cab) | $67,685 |
Prices for each trim may vary slightly depending on your ZIP code. While the 6.4-liter Hemi gas V8 comes standard, you can also pick the 6.7-liter Cummins turbodiesel for each model, in either standard or high output versions.
Powertrain options
Engine | Horsepower | Torque |
6.4L Hemi V8 | 410 hp @ 5,600 RPM | 429 lb-ft @ 4,000 RPM |
6.7L Cummins I6 (Standard) | 370 hp @ 2,800 RPM | 850 lb-ft @ 1,700 RPM |
6.7L Cummins I6 (High Output) | 400 hp @ 2,800 RPM | 1,000 lb-ft @ 1,800 RPM |
No matter which trim you choose, the standard output 6.7-liter Cummins diesel is a $9,100 premium over the standard Hemi. The High Output Cummins is $11,795 more than the standard gas engine.
According to the configurator as it was live, choosing the DRW option for a particular trim can impact the price anywhere from $9,895 to $13,290, depending on the model.
Trim | DRW MSRP | Difference from SRW |
Tradesman | $46,935 | $10,395 |
Big Horn | $51,285 | $10,395 |
