2026 RAM 3500: compare the trims
Choose the truck that fits the loaded trailer, then decide which cabin makes the working week better. A higher trim does not automatically increase towing or payload.
Illustrations come from the manufacturer’s 2026 US trim selector. They show example configurations, not Bonham stock or every fitted option. Use the actual listing and window sticker for the vehicle you buy.
Work essentialsTradesman
2026 US model · manufacturer illustration; color, body and options shown may vary.
What you gain: The 2026 starting specification pairs a 6.4-liter HEMI V8 with an eight-speed automatic, with other powertrain/configuration choices available. Equipment groups add conveniences separately.
Start here when cab, bed, axle and hitch preparation matter more than cabin finish. Price the equipment the job needs before comparing trim upgrades.
Compare next: Lone Star: compare the seating and convenience group while holding engine, cab and rear-wheel layout constant.

Workday convenienceLone Star
2026 US model · manufacturer illustration; color, body and options shown may vary.
What you gain: The Texas-market Big Horn/Lone Star choice adds a different chrome-accent appearance and cloth-cabin comparison, with optional convenience groups. The regional badge is not a separate towing class.
Compare the actual group on the sticker. Storage, seating and everyday controls can be useful upgrades without moving to a leather-trimmed cabin.
Compare next: Laramie: decide whether its leather-trimmed seating and mirror equipment earn the additional cost.

Comfort for long towing daysLaramie
2026 US model · manufacturer illustration; color, body and options shown may vary.
What you gain: Leather-trimmed seating and power telescoping, folding trailer-tow mirrors are highlighted for 2026; the larger 14.5-inch touchscreen is available.
If the truck carries family as often as tools, try seat support and mirror adjustment on a normal-length drive. Separate cabin comfort from the load rating.
Compare next: Lone Star for value, or Limited for its additional screen and premium-material equipment.

Technology and premium materialsLimited
2026 US model · manufacturer illustration; color, body and options shown may vary.
What you gain: The 2026 model overview lists a 14.5-inch center screen, front-passenger display and leather seating with real wood and aluminum accents.
Demonstrate the displays and towing aids you will actually use. Extra equipment and passengers still belong in the truck’s loaded-weight calculation.
Compare next: Limited Longhorn: compare interior character and the exact option list rather than assuming one premium trim tows more.
Ask us to compare this trim
Southwestern cabin characterLimited Longhorn
2026 US model · manufacturer illustration; color, body and options shown may vary.
What you gain: The 2026 design guide identifies a Southwestern interior with filigree stitching and Bison Brown leather trim.
Choose it for the materials and finish you prefer after the working configuration is settled. Verify the full vehicle sticker and fitted seating arrangement.
Compare next: Limited: compare the cabin, technology and complete quote on equivalent cab, engine and axle builds.

Other names and editions to keep straight
Big Horn is the related name used outside the Texas-market Lone Star selection. Rebel and Power Wagon belong to the RAM 2500 comparison, not the RAM 3500 pickup lineup.

Illustrations explain the lineup; they are not local inventory photos or a promise of stock. Match equipment, options and availability to the selected vehicle’s sticker.
Work before ornamentTradesman
2027 US model · manufacturer illustration; shown color, body and options may vary.
What you gain: The 2027 work-truck starting point offers the gas/Cummins configuration decision without requiring a premium leather cabin. The available engine, cab, bed and rear-wheel layout must be matched to the individual truck.
Select it by the work specification first. Bring loaded trailer and pin-weight figures; cabin trim does not establish payload.
Compare next: Lone Star: price the same working configuration with its cabin and appearance equipment.

Texas workday comparisonLone Star
2027 US model · manufacturer illustration; shown color, body and options may vary.
What you gain: A separate Texas-market appearance and cabin choice in the 2027 selector. Compare its installed convenience groups rather than assuming every Lone Star has the same screens or seat equipment.
Keep the engine, axle and rear-wheel layout fixed when pricing this against Tradesman. List the daily conveniences you would actually use.
Compare next: Laramie: evaluate leather-trimmed seating on an equivalent working build.

Comfort over long distancesLaramie
2027 US model · manufacturer illustration; shown color, body and options may vary.
What you gain: The 2027 design guide identifies leather-trimmed seating with Black or Bison Brown interior choices. Available cabin and towing options still require a build-sheet check.
Try the fitted seats on a normal drive and demonstrate the mirrors. A more comfortable cabin does not change the selected truck’s load limits.
Compare next: Limited: compare its materials and installed technology before moving up.

Premium cabin materialsLimited
2027 US model · manufacturer illustration; shown color, body and options may vary.
What you gain: Leather seating with real wood and aluminum accents is documented in the 2027 design guide. Check the selected truck for its actual screen, seating and assistance packages.
Useful when the truck carries passengers over long distances as well as pulling a trailer. Include people and equipment in the loaded-weight calculation.
Compare next: Longhorn: compare interior character and complete equipment at the same working specification.
Ask us to compare this 2027 trim
Southwestern interiorLonghorn
2027 US model · manufacturer illustration; shown color, body and options may vary.
What you gain: The selector labels this 2027 choice Longhorn; the design guide describes the Limited Longhorn cabin with Bison Brown leather and Southwestern detailing. Confirm the exact name and equipment on the vehicle’s sticker.
Choose the interior finish after settling engine, axle, bed and rear-wheel needs. Neither premium cabin name is a separate towing class.
Compare next: Limited: decide which interior and actual option list better fits the quote.

2026 or 2027 RAM 3500: what should you verify?
RAM documents changes to selected 2027 3500 gas configurations and equipment availability. Bonham’s checked inventory includes 2027 Tradesman, Lone Star, Laramie and Longhorn records; the inventory label must be reconciled with the actual sticker. Do not carry a 2026 interior or a combined 2500/3500 announcement onto every 2027 3500. Use the selected truck’s own weight labels and towing documents; a model-wide maximum does not establish the rating for your truck.
The 2026 and 2027 illustrated trim galleries are separate model-year comparisons. A manufacturer announcement, an inventory feed record and physical availability are different checks.
RAM 3500: choose carrying capacity before trim
Ranch, hauling and recreational towing needs can look similar in an advertisement but produce very different truck requirements. Start with the heaviest realistic operating day.
Single rear wheel or dual rear wheel
Compare the ratings of the actual configurations, then consider parking, driveway width, tire replacement and daily use. Dual rear wheels change the ownership experience; select them because the load and application justify the configuration.
Pickup bed or chassis cab
A pickup is appropriate when its bed and hitch arrangement fit the job. If the plan calls for a flatbed, service body or specialized upfit, compare the chassis-cab path before ordering. An upfit’s weight changes the capacity available for tools and freight.
Comfort and towing equipment
Separate passenger comfort from capability. Compare mirrors, camera views, hitch preparation, seating and storage individually. Premium trim equipment can make a long day easier, but the final load calculation still has to fit every applicable rating.
Make the appointment answer your buying question
Send the loaded trailer weight, loaded hitch or pin weight, cargo estimate and desired body configuration. If your current truck has a scale ticket, use it to identify what the replacement must improve. Review rear-axle capacity as well as the headline towing rating.
Apply the comparison to your actual vehicle
A dually and a single-rear-wheel 3500 deserve separate quotes with the same cab and engine wherever possible. Check the loaded trailer’s pin weight against the truck’s available payload after people, toolboxes and hitch hardware. Do not transfer pickup ratings to a 3500 Chassis Cab; an upfitted work truck needs its own completed-vehicle weight review.
Equipment examples are labeled by model year. Confirm the actual vehicle’s window sticker, availability and ratings. A trim or model shown in this guide is not a promise of local inventory.
Plan the Durant purchase before traveling

Bonham offers free vehicle delivery within 300 miles, including Durant. Confirm the delivery address, timing, paperwork and any trade arrangements with the team. The vehicle delivery offer is separate from service transportation.
Plan ownership, not just pickup
Use the matching service guide to prepare maintenance and repair questions. For warranty questions, request a VIN-specific coverage review. Model-year equipment, warranty terms and availability must be verified for the vehicle being considered; a future-year announcement is not confirmation of local stock.
A written purchase plan before the drive from Durant
All signing can be completed remotely through e-contracting. Our sales team can assist, with a sales manager involved when needed. Request the VIN or accepted build, registration address, selling price, qualifying incentives, the $225 documentary fee, taxes and registration estimates, optional selections, trade and payoff, and any delivery charge in an itemized quote. The documentary fee is not a government fee.
If you do not purchase an in-stock vehicle, your deposit is refunded. Factory orders require a $1,000 non-refundable deposit applied toward the purchase price. Confirm reservation arrangements and written terms before payment. A request is not a vehicle reservation, credit approval or manufacturer acceptance of an order.

Questions before your visit
Which RAM 3500 trim should I compare first for towing?
Start with the loaded trailer, hitch or pin weight, passengers and bed cargo. Select the cab, engine, axle and single- or dual-rear-wheel configuration using that truck’s ratings, then compare Tradesman, Lone Star, Laramie, Limited and Limited Longhorn cabin equipment.
Can I use the same RAM 3500 ratings for 2026 and 2027?
No. Match ratings to the actual model year and configuration. This guide does not publish a disputed 2027 maximum; request the selected truck’s towing information and weight labels before deciding.
Is RAM 3500 available in Bonham today?
Availability changes. Ask the team to confirm a specific VIN and its location before traveling; this research page is not a stock guarantee.
Can I compare trims without driving from Durant first?
Yes. Send your must-have equipment and request actual vehicle records and written figures. Confirm model year and installed options instead of comparing trim names alone.
Can Bonham deliver my vehicle to Durant?
Bonham offers free vehicle delivery within 300 miles, including Durant. Confirm the address, paperwork, timing and trade arrangements before finalizing the handoff.
How should I compare two RAM 3500s for a fifth-wheel?
Keep cab, bed, engine, rear-wheel layout, payload label and axle limits beside the loaded trailer and its pin weight. Compare each truck's own model-year documentation. Resolve any conflicting published maximum before using it to choose the vehicle.
Can I complete signing remotely from Durant?
Yes. All signing can be completed remotely through e-contracting. The sales team can assist, with a sales manager involved when needed. Required documents, funding and insurance must be complete before dispatch.
What are the in-stock and factory-order deposit policies?
If you do not purchase an in-stock vehicle, your deposit is refunded. Factory orders require a $1,000 non-refundable deposit applied toward the purchase price. Confirm the in-stock reservation arrangements and written order terms before paying.
