Tow Big or Go Home: Camping With the 2026 Ram 3500

Planning a getaway? Learn how the 2026 Ram 3500 combines serious towing capacity with helpful hitching technology for campers, boats and outdoor toys.

For drivers around Dawson Creek, BC and the Peace Region, the 2026 Ram 3500 offers the heavy-duty towing strength needed to turn a weekend camping trip into a much bigger adventure. Available at Inland Auto Centre, the Ram 3500 can be configured for everything from conventional travel trailers to large fifth-wheel RVs, horse trailers and equipment haulers.

How to Hitch a Trailer to the 2026 Ram 3500

Before hitching, confirm your truck, hitch and trailer are rated for the trailer’s loaded weight. Then position the Ram 3500 directly in front of the trailer coupler. Available cargo-view and backup cameras can help line the hitch ball up with the coupler, while the available Auto-Level Rear Air Suspension can lower the rear of the truck to make connecting easier.

Once aligned, lower the trailer coupler onto the hitch ball, lock the coupler and attach the safety chains in a crossed pattern. Connect the trailer’s electrical plug, breakaway cable and trailer brakes, then raise the trailer jack completely. Before leaving, test the lights and brakes and perform a walk-around inspection.

For fifth-wheel and gooseneck campers, the available Fifth-Wheel/Gooseneck Prep Package provides factory-installed mounting provisions integrated into the truck’s structure.

What Can a 2026 Ram 3500 Tow for Camping?

When properly equipped with the available High-Output 6.7L Cummins Turbo Diesel I6, the 2026 Ram 3500 can tow up to 36,610 lb (16,606 kg) and produces 1,075 lb-ft of torque. That opens the door to large fifth-wheel RVs, toy haulers carrying ATVs or side-by-sides, sizeable travel trailers, horse trailers and boats.

The truck bed can also handle generators, firewood, coolers, tents, recovery gear and other outdoor equipment, with properly equipped Ram 3500 models offering payload capacity up to 7,590 lb (3,443 kg).

For Northern BC campers who want serious capability without leaving the comforts of a modern pickup behind, the 2026 Ram 3500 in Dawson Creek is ready for some very big weekends.
