What you need to tow with a 2026 Ram ProMaster
2026 Ram ProMaster towing by configuration
| Grade | Engine | Cab | Drive | Max trailer (lb) | Requires |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cargo Van | 3.6L V6 | 3500 Cargo Van Super High Roof 159” WB Extended Floor | FWD | 6,410 | This is ONE specific named configuration (3500 Cargo Van Super High Roof 159” WB Extended Floor), not the full ProMaster lineup. Ram's own fleet buyer's guide states a lineup-wide range of 5,600-6,910 lb (varies by model, estimated) -- this 6410-lb figure is inside that range for the named config above, not the top of it. |

The kit for this truck
Towing hardware is sized to the trailer. Pick the weight you are actually pulling:
One part is chosen by the truck, not by the trailer. Everything in those kits is sized to the trailer you are pulling — hitch class, ball, ball mount, brakes. The receiver that bolts to the vehicle is the exception: it is a vehicle-specific part, sold by year, make and model, and a receiver built for one vehicle does not fit another even at the same class. Fit the receiver to your 2026 Ram ProMaster, size everything that hangs off it to the trailer, and never fit a receiver rated below the trailer you intend to pull.

- Your payload governs. Addition of trailer hitch weight cannot cause vehicle weights to exceed Rear Gross Axle Weight Rating (RGAWR) or Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR). These ratings can be found on the certification label located on the driver door or doorframe.
- Tongue weight is not free. 10–15% of the trailer sits on your rear axle and comes out of payload, not out of tow rating.
- Engines in this chart: 3.6L V6. If yours is not listed, this chart does not cover your configuration.
Common questions
How much can a 2026 Ram ProMaster tow?
6,410 lb. That is the manufacturer's single published rating for the 2026 Ram ProMaster — every listed configuration carries the same figure, so there is no configuration-dependent spread to account for here.
What hitch do I need for a 2026 Ram ProMaster?
Size the hitch to the trailer, not the truck. For a trailer up to 6,410 lb you need Class 3 hardware with a 2 in receiver, plus a weight-distributing hitch with sway control. The truck's rating is a ceiling you must stay under, not the thing you buy for.
Why is there no payload number on this page?
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. Published sources disagree with manufacturers in both directions on payload, so stating one per model would be wrong for most trucks. Your tongue weight counts against payload, which is why it matters.
