Towing Capacity Specifications

The 2024 Ram 2500 has two potent engine options for varying towing needs. The standard 6.4-liter HEMI V-8 engine pairs with an eight-speed automatic transmission to generate a robust 410 horsepower and 429 lb-ft of torque. This powerhouse offers a substantial towing capacity of up to 17,730 pounds, making it the perfect choice for heavy-duty towing tasks. Along with its impressive towing capacity, this mill boasts a maximum payload capacity of 4,000 pounds, providing ample support for hauling equipment and cargo.

If you want even more towing power, opt for the 6.7-liter Cummins Turbo Diesel inline-six engine that delivers 370 horsepower and a staggering 850 lb-ft of torque. This engine pairs with a six-speed automatic transmission and can tow up to 19,990 pounds without breaking a sweat. It also offers a maximum payload capacity of 3,150 pounds, making it a top choice for towing heavy loads.

Let’s compare these figures to the previous year’s model to put things into perspective. The 2023 Ram 2500 with the same 6.7-liter Cummins Turbo Diesel inline-six engine has a maximum towing capacity of 19,980 pounds and a payload capacity of 3,140 pounds. Although it’s only a slight increase in numbers, it’s still a significant improvement, making the 2024 Ram 2500 an even more compelling choice.

Towing Technology and Safety Features

The 2024 Ram 2500 keeps you safe while towing, offering advanced technology and safety features that work together to ensure a smooth and secure ride. Some notable features include the following:

• Auto-Level Rear Air Suspension: This state-of-the-art system fine-tunes the rear suspension to maintain a level stance, crucial for smooth handling and enhanced stability when towing heavy loads.
• Integrated towing hardware: The Fifth Wheel/Gooseneck Prep Package includes a rear-axle structural crossmember with mounting hardware. This feature simplifies installation and provides a secure attachment point, enhancing towing capabilities.
• Digital rearview mirror: This feature leverages a high-resolution camera to provide an unobstructed view of what’s behind you, even when towing large trailers or cargo.
• Trailer tire pressure monitoring: It offers real-time monitoring and alerts for tire pressure on your trailer, keeping you informed and preventing potential breakdowns or accidents.
• High-strength steel frame: The Ram 2500’s robust body frame uses high-strength steel, providing superior durability and structural integrity for safe and secure towing.

Towing Tips and Best Practices

While the 2024 Ram 2500 can handle even the most challenging towing tasks, following best practices for safe and efficient towing is essential. Here are a few tips to help you make the most of your truck’s towing capabilities:

• Distribute weight evenly: Ensure the load on your trailer is balanced and evenly distributed to prevent excessive strain on one side.
• Check the tire pressure regularly: Maintain proper tire pressure on your truck and trailer to ensure optimal safety and performance while towing.
• Follow safety precautions: Ensure you’ve properly connected the truck and trailer and secured all safety chains and connections before hitting the road.
• Stay within towing capacity limits: Limit your towing to your truck’s maximum capacity, as exceeding it can lead to severe consequences, such as engine damage, decreased handling, and potential accidents.
• Follow traffic laws: Adhere to all traffic laws and regulations while towing, including speed limits and lane restrictions.

Competitor Comparison

To truly understand the exceptional towing capacity of the 2024 Ram 2500, let’s compare it to some of its main competitors in the same class:

• Ford F-250: The Ram 2500 outshines the Ford F-250 in terms of maximum towing capacity, with a difference of over 1,000 pounds between the two models.

• Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD: The Ram 2500 also surpasses the Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD in terms of maximum towing capacity. While the Silverado can tow up to 18,510 pounds when paired with the turbo-diesel engine, it still falls short of the Ram’s more impressive 19,990-pound towing capacity with its turbo-diesel engine.
• GMC Sierra 2500 HD: Like its Chevrolet counterpart, the GMC Sierra 2500 HD falls short in maximum towing capacity compared to the Ram 2500.
