Ram 1500
The Ram 1500 is a truck that boasts flexible utility along with a sizable engine and an impressive towing capacity. Standard under the hood of this vehicle is a 3.6L Pentastar® V6 engine with eTorque. This powertrain generates some impressive force with 305 horsepower and 269 lb-ft of torque, and when properly equipped, it allows you to tow up to 7,730 pounds of cargo.
For towing horse trailers, though, we recommend you upgrade to the available 5.7L HEMI® V8 engine with eTorque. This engine generates 395 horsepower and 410 lb-ft of torque while boasting 12,750 pounds of towing capacity when properly equipped. Overall, when you need a truck that's suited for work and daily driving, this vehicle can provide exactly what you need.

For a bit more strength, the Ram 2500 offers a nice upgrade in towing potential for drivers who need to haul every day. This vehicle comes standard with a 6.4L HEMI® V8 engine that's able to generate up to 410 horsepower and 429 lb-ft of torque. When this heavy-duty truck is fully equipped, you can tow as much as 17,580 pounds with this engine.
When you need to pull a couple more tons of cargo, you'll want to upgrade to the available 6.7L Turbo-Diesel I-6 engine.
