RAM Towing Capacity You Can Always Rely On 

Whether you're considering buying a new RAM truck as a personal vehicle or a commercial one, there's no denying its impressive towing capacity. Keep in mind that exact figures vary based on engine option, with the following available: 3.6-liter V6 engine, 5.7-liter V8 engine, 3.0-liter EcoDiesel V6 engine, and 6.2-liter supercharged V8 engine. 

Here's what you need to know:

Knowing the limits of your RAM 1500's towing capacity is important, not only when choosing the right engine but loading up a heavy haul. Be sure to take factors like drivetrain (rear-wheel vs four-wheel drive) and cab body style into consideration. 

What Does the RAM 1500 Tow Package Include?

Because not every RAM driver requires max towing capacity, the tow receiver package isn't considered standard equipment. Just ask about this affordable add-on and leave the lot with:

• Class IV receiver hitch
• Wiring harness with four-pin to seven-pin trailer adapter
• Brake controller for trailers

What Can the RAM 1500 Tow?

When properly equipped, your new RAM 1500 can tow the following: 

• Car trailers
• Pop-up campers
• Some large boat trailers
• Jet skis
• Motorcycles
• ATVs
• Large travel trailers
• Large flatbed trailers
• Small horse trailers
• Bass boats
• Sailboats
• Speed boats
• Ski boats
• Cabin cruisers

Whether you're heading to the wilderness or the work site, there are a few things to check to ensure your RAM is ready to roll. As your trusted RAM 1500 dealer, we recommend the following:

• Check the condition of your RAM's tires, lights, and brakes.
• Adjust mirrors and your seat to optimize both comfort and visibility.
• Review your specific RAM 1500s towing and payload capacities.
• Designate a "spotter" to help guide you when hitching up the trailer or backing up once it's been attached.
• Avoid transporting heavy payloads and towing heavy gear at the same time.
