Guide to 2024 RAM’s Towing Capabilities

Whatever your needs are, from towing to payload, RAM trucks provide versatility. RAM offers three truck models so you can find the right pickup for the job. RAM 1500 is a full-size pickup truck, while RAM 2500 and 3500 are heavy-duty trucks. In addition to offering more stability and capacity, these units can be equipped with fifth-wheel/gooseneck towing packages.

The 2024 RAM pickup truck lineup boasts powerful performance and tough towing capability. Whether you are researching your next truck based on its trailering weight or researching a specific RAM truck's towing capacity, the experts at Dennis Dillon CDJR are here to help. We've created this towing and payload guide to help you decide which RAM truck is right for you.

Whether you tow a camper, ATV, or trailer, there's a RAM truck. With several configurations across all three truck models, you'll have several options to choose from. But whatever trim model you choose, it is important to understand the RAM's towing capacity.

Towing Technology and Accessories

RAM trucks let you tow more safely and easily with advanced, innovative features that keep you in control. Here are some towing technologies available:

Surround View Camera: Heavy-duty models feature a 360-degree Surround View Camera that provides a bird's-eye view around your vehicle. You won't miss a thing with the 360-degree Trailer Surround View, which lets you watch your trailer from all angles.

Telescopic Trailer Tow Mirrors: This feature extends and retracts to offer greater maneuverability on crowded job sites and is suitable for RAM 2500 and RAM 3500 models.

Trailer Reverse Steering Control: In addition to controlling your trailer's direction as you back up, the system controls your truck's steering wheel so you can tow with precision and confidence.

RAM Trucks Towing Capability

2024 RAM 1500

With its towing capability and payload capacity, the RAM 1500 can handle a wide array of tasks. Whether towing a camper, hauling gear to the job site, or bringing along toys for a weekend getaway, this rugged full-size truck has the strength to handle the job.

For the 2024 RAM 1500, you can choose from three powerful engine options. With the V6 engine, you'll have maximum power and torque for your everyday driving while towing a maximum of 7,730 pounds. An engine with a towing capacity of 12,750 pounds, the powerful V8 can pull maximum trailer loads. With up to 8,100 pounds of towing capacity, the TRX®-exclusive supercharged 6.2-liter HEMI V8 still delivers incredible power. Transmissions are automatics with eight gears on each engine.

  • Supercharged 6.2-liter HEMI V8 - 8,100 pounds
  • 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 with eTorque - 7,730 pounds

2024 RAM 2500

The 2024 RAM 2500 is about muscle and heavy-duty performance. When it comes to towing, this truck has all the power you need. But how much can the 2500 tow load be? Like the 1500, the capacity depends on the engine, trim model, and whether the truck is equipped with a towing package.

With the heavy-duty 2024 RAM 2500, you can choose between a powerful V8 gas engine and a powerful 6.7-liter Cummins® turbo diesel inline 6-cylinder (I6) engine. The transmission is an eight-speed automatic in the V8 and a six-speed in the Cummins. The latter is on the low end of power but well-suited to frequent heavy trailering.
