Legendary Cummins Diesel Power

This turbocharged powerhouse delivers an impressive 430 horsepower, providing exceptional torque for demanding towing and hauling tasks around Canyon, TX. When properly equipped, this engine allows the Ram 3500 to tow up to 36,610 pounds. The direct injection system ensures optimal fuel efficiency while maintaining the legendary durability Cummins engines are known for.
HEMI V8 Performance
For those preferring gasoline power, the 6.4-liter HEMI V8 delivers 405 horsepower on demand. This heavy-duty engine features SMPI fuel intake technology, offering smooth performance and proven reliability.

Transmission and Drivetrain Options
All engines pair with an 8-speed automatic transmission for smooth shifting and optimal power delivery.
