Choosing the right RAM truck for towing comes down to how much weight you need to pull and how frequently you plan to tow. The RAM 1500 provides plenty of capability for recreational towing, while the RAM 2500 and RAM 3500 step up the strength for larger trailers and demanding jobs. At Gillman Chrysler Jeep® Dodge RAM, you can compare these trucks and find the configuration that matches your towing needs.
RAM 1500: Best for Everyday Towing
The 2026 RAM 1500 is a strong option when you need towing capability without moving into a heavy-duty pickup. When properly equipped, the RAM 1500 offers a maximum towing capacity of up to 11,610 lbs. That capability makes the RAM 1500 well suited for towing travel trailers, boats, utility trailers, and other recreational equipment.
RAM 2500: Best for Heavy-Duty Versatility
If your towing requirements exceed what a light-duty truck can comfortably handle, the 2026 RAM 2500 provides a substantial increase in capability. The available High-Output 6.7-liter Cummins Turbo Diesel I6 engine produces 430 horsepower and 1,075 lb-ft of torque. When properly equipped, maximum towing capacity reaches 20,000 lbs. The RAM 2500 is particularly useful for larger campers and equipment trailers.
RAM 3500: Best for Maximum Towing Capacity
When maximum towing capacity is the priority, the 2026 RAM 3500 sits at the top of the lineup. Equipped with the available High-Output 6.7-liter Cummins Turbo Diesel I6 engine, the RAM 3500 can tow up to 36,610 lbs when properly configured. That additional capability makes the RAM 3500 a strong fit for large fifth-wheel campers, heavy equipment, and demanding commercial applications.
