Factors That Have an Impact on the Towing Capacity

The RAM 2500 does indeed have an impressive towing capacity. The same can be said for the RAM 3500, which can tow even heavier loads.

These maximum towing capacities can differ, however, and even be lower when impacted by certain factors, like:

• The axle ratio
• Engine power
• Type of trailer hitch (a swan-neck hitch significantly increases the towing capacity)
• The Cab/Bed configuration (a smaller bed will allow you to tow more than a longer bed, and a shorter cab, which is lighter than a long one, will also allow you to tow a heavier load).

When it comes to the RAM 2500 and 3500, the following models and bed-cab configurations are available:

• Tradesman and Big Horn: Regular or Crew Cab, 6’4” or 8’ bed
• Power Wagon and Rebel (2500 only for this one): Crew Cab, 6’4′’ bed
• Laramie, Limited Longhorn and Limited: Crew Cab and Mega Cab, 6′ 4″ or 8′ bed

Towing Technologies and Equipment

Towing heavy equipment on the work site or towing a recreational vehicle can prove to be quite challenging; a challenge that RAM 2500 and 3500 trucks can tackle with ease, thanks to several added towing assistance technologies that will make your life much easier.

Among other things, you could take advantage of telescopic towing side mirrors that can help you see your blind spots easily, thanks to a much wider view. Moreover, an added 360-degree panoramic camera position on or inside the trailer will also allow you to maneuver your truck and trailer much more easily. This is also true for the reverse system with shared screen, allowing you to back-up even when you’re on your own, with ease. This system will be extremely useful when the time comes for you to back-up into tight spaces.  

Finally, the Trailer Reverse Steering Control system will make your life easier than ever. By simply pressing a steering button located on the central console, this system will take over your steering wheel to safely maneuver your vehicle and trailer for you.
