There aren’t many changes made to the 2021 Ram 2500 & 3500 models compared to its predecessor besides the availability of the Limited Night Edition with a monochromatic appearance and black 20" wheels, grilles & badging along with the Power Wagon 75th Anniversary Edition offering a number of exclusive design cues like the unique Molten Orange & Anvil Gray exterior colors.

- Highest available gooseneck towing capacity of 37,100 lbs
- Up to 1,075 lb/ft of torque from the Cummins 6.7L high-output turbo diesel V8
- Maximum payload capacity of 7,680 lbs
- 410 horsepower and 429 lb/ft of torque with the 6.4L HEMI V8
Especially since the automotive industry gave these models a number of prestigious accolades. With that being said, let’s talk about each of them.
