St. Albert Dodge has begun stocking the updated Ram 3500 Heavy Duty lineup at its St. Albert location, serving truck buyers throughout the greater Edmonton region. The arrival follows Ram's specification changes for the 2027 model year, which increase towing and hauling capability on select configurations rather than simply reshuffling trim levels.
The central update centers on gross vehicle weight rating. Select 4x4 single-rear-wheel Ram 3500 models equipped with the HEMI V8, in Regular Cab 8-foot and Crew Cab 6-foot-4-inch configurations, gained 400 pounds of GVWR capacity, reaching a maximum of 11,440 pounds. The change gives operators additional headroom for payload and equipment on trucks that are already used heavily in trades and commercial applications.
Canadian buyers can currently choose between the 2026 and 2027 model years, and both span a full range of trims. Available grades include the work-focused Tradesman, the Big Horn, the Laramie, the Limited, and the Limited Longhorn. Each Ram 3500 arrives with a standard 6.4-litre HEMI V8, while an available 6.7-litre Cummins High-Output Turbo Diesel offers an alternative for customers who prioritize maximum torque for towing.
The Ram 3500 anchors the wider Heavy Duty range at the dealership, which also includes the Ram 2500 and the commercial-grade Ram 5500. Pricing on the new Ram 3500 begins at $93,355. Customers reviewing the current Ram 3500 For Sale inventory will find both cab and box combinations affected by the GVWR update alongside the broader selection of configurations.
For operators in and around Edmonton, the capability increase addresses a practical concern. Heavy Duty pickups in Alberta frequently serve dual roles, moving crews and materials during the week and towing recreational loads on weekends, and GVWR headroom determines how much a truck can legally carry when fully loaded.
"The updated Ram 3500 Heavy Duty lineup addresses a need we hear about often from customers across the Edmonton region who tow and haul for work," said Nathan Plante, Marketing Manager at St. Albert Dodge. "Being able to offer the added GVWR capacity on the 4x4 models means more of our customers can get a truck that actually matches what they use it for."
Plante noted that the availability of two model years gives buyers added flexibility as they compare configurations. "With both the 2026 and 2027 trucks on the ground, shoppers can weigh trim, engine, and Ram 3500 deals side by side and decide which combination fits their workload and budget," he said.
The dealership offers financing services, trade-in support, and a dedicated parts and service department to support Heavy Duty owners after purchase, including seasonal service relevant to Alberta driving conditions.
