Towing Capacity
The lineup of new Ram trucks is designed for you to travel far and drive fast to any destination on the map. Your vehicle will also have the strength and versatility to haul all your heavy toys as you ride. Feel free to hitch your camper, boat, or trailer to the back of your truck before you set off on the road.
Towing capacity and payload depend on the engine under your hood and the exterior design of the vehicle. The new 2025 Ram 2500, for example, is capable of heavier loads than the 1500. Regardless of which truck you drive, you’ll have thousands of pounds to play around with as you pack items in the bed of your truck and decide which equipment you want to haul. There’s no such thing as needing to make a second trip.
