Ram 2500 Engine Lineup and Towing Capacity

One of the most important aspects of a pickup truck is its engine since it plays a significant role in determining exactly how much you’ll be able to tow. See below for the two Ram 2500 engine possibilities:

  • 6.4L HEMI® V8 engine
  • 6.7L Cummins® Turbo Diesel I6 engine

If you choose the available 6.7L Cummins® Turbo Diesel I6 engine to propel you down the roadways, you’ll have access to as much as 370 horsepower and 850 lb-ft of torque. As a result, you’ll have 3,160 pounds of maximum payload capacity as well as 19,680 pounds of maximum towing capacity at your disposal.  

Depending on configuration, the maximum towing capacity you can expect from the Ram 2500 is 19,990 pounds. With a minimum capacity of 9,470 pounds, you’ll be able to find the right configuration to cover your needs. For example, if you choose the Ram 2500 Limited along with the 6.7-liter Cummins® Turbo Diesel I6 engine, the Crew Cab configuration, a 3.73 axle ratio, and the 4x4 drivetrain, the result will be a towing capacity of 17,290 pounds.

When the Tradesman is equipped with the 6.7-liter I6 Cummins® Turbo Diesel engine, 3.73 axle ratio, Regular Cab, and 4X4 drivetrain, its towing capacity can reach 19,990 pounds. With the Ram 2500 as your on-road companion, no matter what you’re pulling behind you, you’ll be able to tow with absolute confidence.

Towing isn’t the only way the Ram 2500 has you covered out on the road. It also employs a wide-ranging assortment of safety features to make sure you and your passengers enjoy a reassuring driving experience.

The available infotainment displays on the Ram 2500 dashboard range from five inches to 12 inches. No matter which touchscreen you choose, you’ll have easy access to the controls while still devoting most of your attention to the drive itself.

Rain-sensitive windshield wipers are also available. These provide a clear line of sight during inclement weather and let you keep your hands firmly on the steering wheel. With the available leather-wrapped steering wheel, you’ll enjoy a comfortable grip along with its distinguished look. If  a vehicle with bright headlights pulls up behind you, the available automatic-dimming rear-view mirror can prevent you from being distracted or momentarily blinded by the reflection.
