2023 Ram 2500 Towing Capacity

Features To Aid In Towing

The Ram 2500 comes with plenty of features to make towing even easier. Check out some of the most popular options below:

• Trailer Reverse Steering Control
• Integrated Towing Hardware
• Auto-Level Rear Air Suspension
• Telescopic Trailer Tow Mirrors
• Mirror Mounted Camera System

The Trailer Reverse Steering Control feature allows you to control your trailer direct with the turn of a knob as you focus on commanding your truck.

The integrated towing hardware is a factory-installed rear-axle cross-member that allows you to add the Fifth-Wheel/Gooseneck Prep Package to your truck.

Need to lower the Ram 2500's bed to hook up the trailer? No problem. The available Auto-Level Rear Air Suspension comes with a bed-lowering feature that allows you to hook up with ease.

Keep an eye on your trailer as you drive, thanks to the Telescopic Trailer Tow Mirrors. They can extend and retract as needed to park in thought spots and view your trailer. The Available Mirror Mounted Camera System can work hand-in-hand with this feature for even better visibility as you tow.

Factors That Affect Towing Capacity

Quite a few factors can affect towing capacity.

The engine is one of those factors. With the available 6.7L Cummins® Turbo Diesel I6 engine, you'll have the maximum towing capacity for the Ram 2500. However, if you opt for the 6.4L HEMI® V8 engine, your Ram 2500's towing capacity will max out at 17,730 pounds-still quite impressive.

Another factor that can affect the towing capacity of the towing hitch used. In order to achieve the maximum towing capacity of the Ram 2500, you'll need a class V tow hitch.

The Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) is another important factor. The GWVR is the maximum weight your truck's frame and tires can hold. This can change depending on your truck's bed or cab size.
