2012 RAM 3500 ST

This is Ram's heavy-duty pickup, the one you step up to when a half-ton just isn't enough for serious towing and hauling. It drives like the big truck it is, with a commanding view of the road and a ride that settles down nicely once you've got weight in the bed. The cabin is roomy and quiet for a work truck, and the available Laramie Longhorn trim adds a level of leather and wood you wouldn't expect in a 3500. With regular, crew, and mega cab configurations, there's a body style to match your crew and your cargo needs. The ST is the starting trim, so you get a work-ready truck with vinyl floors and manual locks instead of the SLT's carpet and power gear. Its 6.7L I8 makes 350 horsepower and 610 lb-ft of torque, paired with a six-speed automatic and four-wheel drive, so it pulls heavy trailers without breaking a sweat.
