CRASH
DATANot crash-tested
The Ram 3500 is a heavy-duty pickup truck aimed squarely at buyers who need serious towing and hauling capability. Sitting at the top of Ram's workhorse lineup, it targets contractors, farmers, and fleet operators who prioritize pulling power and payload over comfort-first priorities. It competes in one of America's most demanding segments, where safety scrutiny matters just as much as capability.
The 2024 Ram 3500 has not been crash-tested by NHTSA, so it carries no Safety Index. Its safety record here is built from 2 recalls and 36 owner complaints on file, giving it a light recall and complaint burden.
- shoppers who want the full federal safety picture in one place
Reviewers generally praise the Ram 3500 for its commanding towing and payload figures and highlight its interior as one of the more refined and well-appointed cabins in the heavy-duty segment. Driving dynamics are considered composed for a truck of this size. Some reviewers note that the sheer scale of the vehicle can feel unwieldy in everyday urban use, though most agree it delivers strong value for buyers with genuine heavy-duty needs.
