Do you need the High-Output 6.7L Cummins Turbo Diesel I6 for your heavy towing around George West, TX?

Allways Atascosa Ram – Do you need the High-Output 6.7L Cummins Turbo Diesel I6 for your heavy towing around George West, TX?

Choosing the right engine for a heavy-duty truck is more than a spec-sheet decision—it’s about how you tow, how often, and where you drive. If you’re weighing the available High-Output 6.7L Cummins® Turbo Diesel I6 for a 2026 Ram 3500 and live or work around George West, TX, here’s how to decide if the extra diesel muscle aligns with your daily demands.

The High-Output Cummins® pairs with a TorqueFlite® HD eight-speed automatic transmission and is rated at up to 430 horsepower and a best-in-class available base diesel 1,075 lb-ft of torque. That torque advantage translates into confident launches with multi-axle trailers, less downshifting on grades, and a more relaxed cruising feel when you’re near the top of your tow ratings. The diesel’s available maximum towing capacity—up to 36,610 pounds—means it’s built for serious fifth-wheels, goosenecks, and heavy equipment. On the other hand, the standard gas 6.4L HEMI® V8 brings impressive capability with up to 18,150 pounds of maximum gas towing and a maximum gas payload up to 7,590 pounds—ideal for mixed-use duty cycles where payload and versatility matter as much as peak tow numbers.

• Choose High-Output 6.7L Cummins® if: You tow near max weight often, want strong low-RPM torque for grades and highway merges, and value the available Automatic Smart Exhaust Brake for downhill control.
• Choose 6.4L HEMI® V8 if: Your loads are moderate, you want broad payload flexibility, and you split time between job sites, family duties, and weekend trips.

Tow technology can tilt your decision too. Available Trailer Reverse Steering Control lets you guide the trailer’s direction with a simple knob while the system turns the truck’s wheel—priceless in campgrounds or on tight ranch lanes. The available 360° Trailer Surround View Camera expands your situational awareness around long rigs, and available Trailer Tire Pressure Monitoring supports up to four trailers with real-time readings in the available 12-inch Digital Cluster Display. With available integrated fifth-wheel/gooseneck mounting hardware from the factory, you also save setup time and gain OEM-level fitment confidence.

Inside the cab, the truck’s brainpower backs up its brawn. A Largest-in-Class available 14.5-inch Uconnect® 5 NAV touchscreen centralizes tow apps, navigation, and camera views, while available dual wireless charging pads keep devices powered on the move. On long hauls, driver-assistance tech is essential. Forward Collision Warning with Active Braking, class-exclusive standard Adaptive Cruise Control, available LaneSense® Lane Departure Warning with Lane Keep Assist, available Drowsy Driver Detection, and available Traffic Sign Recognition help reduce fatigue and sharpen awareness with a trailer attached.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Will the High-Output Cummins® help with stop-and-go towing?

Yes. The diesel’s abundant low-RPM torque helps you move off the line with less throttle and fewer gear changes, which makes urban or construction-zone towing feel smoother and more controlled.

Do I need Trailer Reverse Steering Control if I’m experienced?

Experienced drivers benefit too. The system reduces the mental load in high-pressure moments—tight alleys, low light, or heavy crosswinds—and pairs well with the available 360° Trailer Surround View Camera for precise situational awareness.

Is the gas 6.4L HEMI® V8 a good choice for ranch work?

Absolutely. If your towing is moderate and you value payload flexibility and everyday drivability, the 6.4L HEMI® V8 is a strong, refined work partner that easily handles feed, fencing, and equipment runs.

Which features most improve long-haul comfort?

Look for Uconnect® 5 NAV on the available 14.5-inch touchscreen, available Harman Kardon® audio, the available Digital Rearview Mirror with side camera integration, and driver-assist features like Adaptive Cruise Control and LaneSense® Lane Departure Warning with Lane Keep Assist to help reduce fatigue over distance.
