FCA today announced that the 2018 Ram 3500 pickup with the 6.7-liter Cummins diesel will produce 930 lb-ft of torque, the highest output of any pickup, beating the Ford F-350 and F-450.
Working with a new fifth-wheel hitch (a $1,395 option), the Ram 3500 will be able to tow up to 30,000 pounds. FCA says the new hitch allows the 2018 Ram to tow the largest travel trailers on the U.S. market.
