Ram 1500 Towing Capacity

When properly equipped, the maximum towing capacity of the Ram 1500 is 12,750 pounds. This means you’ll be towing a two-horse trailer, utility trailer, or even a camping trailer for weekends away with ease.

The Ram 1500 doesn’t just have an impressive towing capacity, though. This farming truck also has a maximum payload capacity of 2,300 pounds, when properly equipped. You’ll find that piling the bed of your truck with goods for transport or purchasing supplies to expand your farm is possible.

Engine Specs

To achieve this all-capable Ram 1500 towing capacity, you’ll need an engine that pumps nothing but pure power through the valves of your farming truck.

The Ram 1500 comes standard with a 3.6L Pentastar® V6 engine with eTorque, a mild hybrid system. This engine produces 305 horsepower and 269 lb-ft of torque.

Those who need all the towing power they can get should opt for either the available 5.7L HEMI® V8 engine with eTorque or the available 3.0L EcoDiesel V6 engine. When comparing these two engines, the EcoDiesel has more torque at 480 lb-ft, but the HEMI® powers through with 395 horsepower.

No matter which engine you choose, you’ll have plenty of power to help you around the farm or around town.

Convenience Features

To help make your job as simple as possible, the Ram 1500 has two optional features: a multifunction tailgate and RamBox® Cargo Management System. The multifunction tailgate allows you to either traditionally fold down your tailgate or open it in a 60/40 swing-away split.

This makes loading bulky items into the bed of your truck a breeze, since you no longer have to slide said items over the tailgate. Plus, you can even keep your trailer hitched when accessing your tailgate.

The RamBox® Cargo Management System features two side cargo bins. These bins are lockable, weatherproof, illuminated, and even drainable. This way, you can easily access important tools and equipment or keep valuables protected while on the go.
