Allways Atascosa Ram – Does the 2025 RAM 3500 High-Output Cummins Make Sense for Everyday Towing around Boerne, TX?

Choosing the right powertrain for your heavy-duty truck is a practical decision that affects daily usability, towing confidence, and long-term satisfaction. For many shoppers, the question is whether the available High-Output 6.7L Cummins® Turbo Diesel I6 on the 2025 RAM 3500 is the right fit for their routine towing and hauling.

Below, we break down how to think about the High-Output setup, how the new TorqueFlite® HD eight-speed automatic plays into day-to-day control, and which cabin and tech features help when you are hitching, loading, and traveling with family or crew.

  • Available torque advantage: The High-Output Cummins® offers up to 1,075 lb-ft of Best-in-Class available base diesel torque for moving heavy loads
  • New eight-speed control: The TorqueFlite® HD transmission helps with smooth takeoffs and precise low-speed maneuvering
  • Cabin tech support: Available 14.5-inch Largest-in-Class touchscreen places towing apps and maps in easy reach
  • Co-pilot help: Class-Exclusive available 10.25-inch Passenger Interactive Display lets your passenger manage navigation and media

If your towing ranges from a boat and utility trailer to a weekend camper, the High-Output diesel’s abundant torque can feel effortless, especially on hill starts and when merging with traffic. The new eight-speed automatic enhances drivability by spreading ratios to keep you in the powerband without constant shifting, which means more confident control backing into tight spots or guiding a fifth-wheel at low speeds.

Interior technology matters more than many shoppers expect. The available Largest-in-Class 14.5-inch infotainment screen simplifies route planning, trailer checklist use, and split-screen views. The Class-Exclusive available 10.25-inch Passenger Interactive Display allows your co-driver to share navigation or entertainment without distracting the driver. Together, these features make long towing days feel organized and less stressful.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Do I really need the High-Output 6.7L Cummins Turbo Diesel I6 for my typical towing?

Think about your real-world use. If you frequently tow at or near the top end of heavy-duty capability, want maximum low-end pull for steep grades, or carry heavy bed-mounted loads, the available High-Output Cummins® provides a reassuring performance buffer. If your towing is lighter, shorter in distance, and typically on flat routes, you may still appreciate the new TorqueFlite® HD eight-speed automatic’s smoother control with other engine options. The key is matching your peak load and route profile to the powertrain that delivers the control and confidence you want every day.

To make the decision easier, consider how often you tow on hills, whether your trailer is enclosed or tall enough to catch headwinds, and how much gear you carry in the bed. The more resistance and weight you encounter, the more you benefit from the High-Output diesel’s torque and the transmission’s confident gearing.

  • Frequent heavy grades: Choose High-Output diesel for stronger low-end pull
  • Tall or enclosed trailers: Extra torque helps overcome wind resistance
  • Bed-mounted loads: Added torque supports steadier launches and merges
  • Long-distance towing: New eight-speed aids smooth cruising and downshifts

On the other hand, lighter towing and mixed daily driving may point you toward alternative configurations. The 2025 RAM 3500 lineup is wide enough to tailor a build to your priorities, from daily drivability to maximum work capability.

  • Local, lighter towing: Consider non-HO setups for balanced power and daily comfort
  • Mostly unloaded driving: Focus on cabin tech and driver-assist features
  • Crew comfort needs: Utilize the available Passenger Interactive Display to share tasks
  • Navigation reliance: The available 14.5-inch screen makes maps and towing apps clear
