Powerful Engines Built to Tow Toys & Daily Necessities

When you shop for your RAM 1500, you get the choice of three satisfying and capable V6 engines. The standard engine is the 3.6-liter V6 Pentastar paired with a 48-volt mild-hybrid system. It delivers 305 horsepower and 269 lb-ft of torque. The second option is the twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-size Hurricane engine, which produces 420 horsepower and 469 lb-ft of torque.

The top engine is a high-output Hurricane tuned to deliver 540 horsepower and 521 lb-ft of torque. RAM pairs every engine with a smooth-shifting eight-speed automatic transmission. Rear-wheel drive is standard, but most trims offer the available four-wheel drive system.

Configurations for Peak Towing Capability

The RAM 1500 is available in a few configurations with a Quad Cab or Crew Cab and a 6-foot 4-inch bed or a 5-foot 7-inch bed. The Crew Cab provides more interior space, and many trims are only available with the Crew Cab and the smaller bed. For the maximum towing capability, the ideal configuration includes the standard Hurricane engine, the Quad Cab, and the long bed. The Tradesman, Tradesman HFE, and Big Horn trims with this configuration can tow 11,550 pounds. The same engine with the Crew Cab and smaller bed can tow 11,510 pounds.

Payload Capacity & Towing Gear

Outfitting the RAM 1500 with optional towing gear makes towing more manageable. When purchasing your RAM, you can add available features like Trailer Hitch Assist, Trailer Reverse Guidance with Dynamic Gridlines, a Digital Rearview Mirror with Tow Mode, Power Telescoping Trailer Tow Mirrors, and an Integrated Health Monitor.

RAM 1500 trucks can carry heavy loads. The models with the Pentastar engine can carry 1,190 and 2,370 pounds in the bed. Models with the standard Hurricane engine can carry between 1,820 and 1,870 pounds, while the high-output Hurricane can carry between 1,340 and 1,520 pounds. The exact payload depends on the trim, powertrain, and bed and cab sizes.
