Ram 1500: Power and Precision

Towing Capabilities

The 2024 Ram 1500 is capable of towing up to 12,750 pounds, putting in second place in the full-size truck segment. It also has an impressive payload rating of 2,300 pounds. This truck isn’t only an incredible workhorse but also offers SUV-like handling and a smooth ride, making it an excellent daily commuter. If you need to ferry around your family, consider choosing the Crew Cab body style, which offers ample passenger space. Despite being a great family hauler, the Ram 1500 Crew Cab can still pull north of 11,000 pounds.

One of the reasons why the Ram 1500 can tow so much weight is that it has a 98% high-strength steel frame that can withstand heavy loads with ease. It also comes with an array of well-thought-out features that make towing easier and safer, such as an electronic brake controller for precise control of the trailer’s brakes and trailer sway control for enhanced trailer stability.

Performance Features

For the 2024 model year, the Ram 1500 has three engines for you to choose from: the standard 3.6-liter V-6 with 305 horsepower, a 5.7-liter V-8 with 395 horsepower, and a supercharged 6.2-liter V-8 with a class-leading 702 horsepower. When equipped with the supercharged power mill, the pickup can rocket from zero to 60 mph in just 4.5 seconds, which is mind-blowing for such a large vehicle. All three engines work with a slick-shifting eight-speed automatic transmission.

The Ram 1500 also boasts best-in-class ride quality thanks to its compliant suspension and remarkable body control. If you want an even more comfortable ride and better gas mileage, opt for a model with the available air suspension, which allows you to adjust the ride height. Other features contributing to the truck’s composed ride include electronic stability control, electronic roll mitigation, and electronic range select.

Ram 2500: Commanding Strength

Heavy-Duty Towing

Featuring a strong chassis and potent engines, the 2024 Ram 2500 delivers a tow rating that few pickup trucks can match. The standard engine of this heavy-duty truck is a 6.4-liter V-8 that generates 410 horsepower and 429 lb-ft of torque and pairs with an eight-speed automatic transmission. For enhanced towing capability, go for the 6.7-liter Cummins turbo-diesel I-6, rated at 370 horsepower and 850 lb-ft of torque. This engine sends power to the rear wheels or all four wheels via a six-speed automatic transmission.

The Ram 2500 delivers a tow rating of 17,730 pounds with the base engine and an incredible 19,990 pounds with the diesel engine. With so much towing power, you can pull almost anything, such as a farm tractor or a sailboat. If you want a better towing experience, you can get the available auto-level rear air suspension for a more comfortable ride, a largest-in-class 50-gallon fuel tank for an extended driving range, or a trailer reverse steering control that makes backing up a trailer easier and safer.

Payload Capacity

While it isn’t the best option for towing, the base 6.4-liter V-8 enables the Ram 2500 to reach its maximum payload capacity of 4,000 pounds. The turbo-diesel I-6, on the other hand, is rated at 3,150 pounds, which is also impressive. No matter which of the two engines you choose, you can carry all kinds of cargo in the back of your truck, including construction materials, farm equipment, gardening supplies, livestock, camping gear, dirt bikes, and canoes. This makes the Ram truck a great companion for both work and play.

Ram 3500: Unrivaled Towing Power

Extreme Towing Capacities

If you’re planning to transport extremely heavy loads, you may be better off getting the Ram 3500. This Ram model offers both the 6.4-liter V-8 and 6.7-liter turbo-diesel I-6 engines of the Ram 2500, and it also has a high-output version of the turbo-diesel I-6 that puts out 420 horsepower and 1,075 lb-ft of torque.

The high-output diesel power mill is rated to tow a whopping 37,090 pounds, allowing you to transport massive loads such as construction equipment, a dump trailer, and a fifth-wheel trailer. If you need to haul hefty cargo, get a model with the 6.4-liter V-8 to unlock the truck’s maximum payload capacity of 7,680 pounds.

Dually Configuration

One feature that sets the Ram 3500 apart from its smaller siblings is the available dually configuration. While most pickup trucks have four wheels, a dually truck rides on six wheels: two in front and four at the back sharing the same axle. The extra wheels provide enhanced stability and towing and hauling capabilities. Although it’s an optional feature, the dually configuration is necessary to unleash the full towing potential of the 3500.

Similar to the 2500 and regular 3500, a Ram dually can also be fitted with a load-leveling rear air suspension for improved ride comfort. In its standard configuration, it comes in Regular Cab with an 8-foot bed, but you can opt for a Mega Cab dually with a 6-foot-4-inch bed if you want more cabin space.
