Ram Trucks: A Guide to Towing Capacity
When you need outstanding performance, explore the Ram towing capacity ratings. Whether you need light- or heavy-duty towing, a Ram 1500, 2500, or 3500 is ready to help you get it done. The centerpiece of every Ram truck is its engine and towing capacity will vary depending on which engine your choose. One of the specialists in our finance center can help you get an affordable interest rate on a Ram truck loan.
We've compiled a list of performance numbers for each Ram truck and powertrain on behalf of the team at Champion of Decatur in Decatur, AL. Our Ram truck experts have listed maximum towing and payload capacities for the Ram 1500, Ram 2500, and Ram 3500 pickups covering the 2025 and 2024 model years. That allows you to see whether a new Ram truck is the right fit for your needs, or whether you need something from our used truck inventory.

2025 Ram 1500 Engines
The 2025 model year brings some changes to the engine lineup for the Ram 1500 for truck drivers in communities like Athens, AL. The 2025 Ram 1500 kicks things off with the standard 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 engine. This proven powertrain is good for 305 horsepower with 269 pound-feet of torque. Two new Ram 1500 engines are on the menu for the 2025 model year. The 3.0-liter Hurricane inline-6 has an output of 420 horsepower and 469 pound-feet of torque. Meanwhile, the High-Output 3.0-liter Hurricane inline-6 can be counted on for 540 horsepower and 521 pound-feet of torque. The experts in our service center can give your Ram truck the regular maintenance it needs to keep running reliably.
2025 Ram 1500 Towing and Payload
With the 3.6-liter V6 engine, the Ram 1500 has a maximum towing capacity of 8110 pounds and a maximum payload of 2370 pounds. For Madison, AL buyers who move up to the high-output 3.0-liter inline 6-cylinder engine, the maximum towing capacity will be 9920 pounds and the maximum payload will be 1520 pounds. The highest level of towing happens with a 3.0-liter inline 6-cylinder engine with 11,550 pounds of maximum towing and 1980 pounds of maximum payload.
Since the Ram 1500 no longer offers the legendary HEMI® V8 engine for the 2025 model year, you can no longer get the 12,750 pounds of maximum towing that was available with that engine. If you want to achieve that level of performance, look for a used Ram 1500 with the HEMI® V8 at our dealership. Feel free to contact us to learn more about your new and used Ram truck options.
Ram 2500 Engines, Towing and Payload
The 2024 Ram 2500 towing capacity is even higher, thanks to its powerful engines. The Ram 2500 heavy-duty truck engines are the 6.4-liter HEMI® V-8 and the 6.7-liter Cummins® turbo-diesel inline-6. With the 6.4 liter hemi V8, you'll have a maximum towing capacity of 17,730 pounds and a maximum payload of 4000 pounds. If you invest in the 6.7-liter inline-6, your maximum towing will be 19,990 pounds and the maximum payload will be 3150 pounds.
Ram 3500 Engines, Towing and Payload
When you're in command of a heavy-duty Ram 3500 truck, you'll be able to tow and haul heavy loads. That's because you'll be armed with one of three muscular engine options. One is a 6.4-liter HEMI® V-8 with maximum towing capacity of 18,210 pounds and a maximum payload of 7680 pounds. Next is a 6.7-liter Cummins® turbo-diesel I-6 with a maximum towing capacity of 22,660 pounds and a maximum payload of 6830 pounds. A the top of the mountain is a High-Output 6.7-liter Cummins® turbo-diesel I-6 with maximum towing capacity of an incredible 37,090 pounds and a maximum payload of 6560 pounds.
