First Take

Like other heavy duty versions, the 3500 has a stiff ride that bounces passengers around. Choosing this heavy duty work truck over the regular 1500 lets you opt for the 325-hp Cummins 5.9-liter diesel six-cylinder engine. Chrysler's 5.7-liter Hemi V8 is also available. The crew cab's rear seat is tight and upright.
