Common questions
How much can a Ram tow?
It depends entirely on the exact configuration, not the model name. Across the 4 Ram vehicles published here there are 101 distinct configurations ranging from 6,340 to 36,610 lb. Find your own model in the table on this page, then your exact engine, drivetrain, cab and bed combination on its page.
Why does one Ram model have more than one tow rating?
Because the rating is set by the configuration, not the badge. The Ram 3500 is the clearest example here: it spans 14,560–36,610 lb, a 151% difference between its lowest and highest published configuration. Two trucks with the same name on the tailgate can be thousands of pounds apart.
Where do these Ram numbers come from?
Each one is read positionally from Ram's own published towing chart or specification page, linked on every vehicle page. We publish no figure we cannot point at a manufacturer source for. See how this is made.
Why is there no payload figure for Ram here?
Because payload is specific to your individual vehicle, not to the model — it is printed on the certification label in your driver's door jamb. Your tongue weight counts against it, which is why it matters when you tow.
