- Ram published no 2022 1500 Classic towing chart, so these ratings come from the towing tool on ramtrucks.com.
- The 1500 Classic is the previous-generation Ram 1500, sold alongside the redesigned truck.
- The tool gives no curb weights or axle ratings, and its figures can differ slightly from Ram's printed charts.
- GVWR is left blank because the tool lists the GCWR in its place for 2022.

What the numbers mean
- Max trailer
- The heaviest trailer the configuration is rated to pull, with the right hitch and the vehicle carrying only a driver. Every passenger and every pound of cargo comes off it.
- Payload
- What the vehicle can carry inside and in the bed, including people and the trailer's tongue or pin weight. It is GVWR minus the vehicle's own weight.
- GCWR
- Gross combined weight rating: the most the loaded vehicle and loaded trailer may weigh together. It is often the number that runs out first.
- Axle ratio
- A higher number (3.92 against 3.21) turns the engine faster at a given speed. It costs some fuel economy and usually raises the tow rating.
