Compare the choices
3500 pickup or 3500 chassis cab?
Choose the vehicle format around the finished job. A commercial body changes both the cost and the remaining carrying allowance.
| Choice | What changes | How to decide |
|---|---|---|
| 3500 pickup | Evaluate a pickup bed when the work can be done without a separate commercial-body installation. | Count tools, passengers and trailer hitch weight against the specific pickup's ratings. |
| 3500 chassis cab | Plan a compatible body and equipment installation on an incomplete chassis. | Obtain body weight, cab-to-axle requirements and mounting guidance from the upfitter before selecting the truck. |
| 4500 comparison | Consider a different rated configuration when the finished body/load requires it. | Have the upfitter identify the limiting axle, weight or dimensional requirement rather than just asking for a larger badge. |
| PTO requirement | RAM's 2026 chassis-cab information describes available PTO capability. | Match engine/transmission and application compatibility before ordering hydraulic or driven equipment. |

- Name the work body and obtain its dimensions, empty weight and cab-to-axle requirement before selecting a chassis.
- List permanently mounted equipment separately from the people, consumables and material carried on a normal workday.
- Ask who approves compatibility, installs the body and supplies completed-vehicle information. Keep chassis and upfit delivery dates separate.
Plan follow-up maintenance with the relevant Bonham service team. Confirm specifications and equipment for the exact VIN or accepted order; do not carry 2026 figures into a 2027 comparison without verification.

Questions about RAM 3500 Chassis Cab

Provide the body dimensions and weight, equipment, occupants and intended load. Confirm cab-to-axle dimensions, mounting and compatibility so the chassis is chosen for the finished truck.
