RAM trucks have gained their reputation as powerhouses in the world of towing. Whether you're hauling heavy equipment or towing a camper for weekend getaways, these trucks are built to handle the job. If you're curious about their towing capabilities, this FAQ guide breaks it all down for you.

What Makes RAM Trucks Great for Towing?

RAM trucks are engineered with powerful engines, robust frames, and advanced towing technology. Models like the RAM 1500, 2500, and 3500 offer a range of options for light to heavy-duty towing. With innovative suspension systems and smart features like trailer sway control, RAM trucks ensure a safe and confident towing experience.

How Much Can RAM Trucks Tow?

Towing capacity varies by model:

• The RAM 1500 offers up to 11,560 lbs of towing capacity when equipped with the 3.0-litre Hurricane Inline six-cylinder engine with eTorque.
• The RAM 2500 delivers up to 16,870 lbs with the 6.4-litre HEMI® V8 engine.
• The heavy-duty RAM 3500 achieves an astounding towing capacity of up to 37,090 lbs with the available High-Output Cummins® Turbo Diesel engine.

These numbers showcase RAM’s versatility, whether you need a truck for daily work or serious hauling.

What Technologies Help with Towing?

RAM trucks include cutting-edge features to make towing easier and safer. Available systems include:

• Trailer Reverse Steering Control: Assists in backing up with precision by controlling trailer direction via a dedicated knob.
• 360° Surround View Camera: Offers a bird's-eye view of your truck and trailer for better manoeuvrability.
• Integrated Trailer Brake Controller: Enhances braking performance while towing.
• Tow/Haul Mode: Adjusts transmission shifts and engine performance to optimize towing.

These features simplify complex tasks, so even first-time towers can feel confident.

Can RAM Trucks Handle Towing in All Conditions?

Absolutely. RAM trucks are built to excel in diverse conditions, including Alberta’s challenging weather. Advanced 4x4 systems provide superior traction on snow or uneven terrain, while the available air suspension system adjusts ride height for smoother towing. Paired with RAM’s legendary durability, these trucks are perfect for any towing scenario.

How Do Payload and Towing Relate?

Towing capacity tells how much weight a truck can pull, while payload capacity refers to the weight that a truck can lift in its bed and cab. RAM trucks are designed to balance both effectively, ensuring you can carry your gear and tow your trailer without compromising performance.
