Although horsepower remains the same as it has for the past few years at 385, everyone that tows or hauls knows that torque is the magic number that gets jobs done, and Ram has a boatload of it. That colossal load of torque will be coming soon to a dealer near you, with Ram announcing today that the first Ram 3500 with the 900 lb-ft engine has rolled off its line in Saltillo, Mexico, where all Ram HDs are built.

Expect the Ram “900s” to start rumbling into dealerships this fall. All Ram 3500 dually models have a towing capacity of 30,000 pounds or more, with the 3500 regular-cab 2WD taking the crown at 31,210 pounds. We recently predicted that torque output on HD diesel engines would soon crest 1,000 lb-ft. Now, we’re not even sure it’s going to stop there.
