2023 Ram 2500 towing capacity by configuration

The manufacturer rates the 2023 Ram 2500 to tow between 10,490 lb and 19,980 lb, depending on cab, bed, drive, engine and axle ratio. Below are all 68 factory configurations in its 2023 towing chart. Narrow them to the truck you're looking at, or one a Southeastern dealer has on the lot.

The charts label the base trim ST (and the Mega Cab SLT); they are shown here as Tradesman and Big Horn/Lone Star.
Rows with a 9,900 lb GVWR (Canada/registration ratings) are included as printed.
The Power Wagon has one Hemi row; a second Power Wagon row with an XE5 axle code and conflicting weights is left out.
Trailers over 23,000 lb need a fifth-wheel hitch, and over 30,000 lb a gooseneck.
No-box rows are cab-and-chassis trucks with the bed left off; the chart lists them as box-off.
Payload and trailer figures are estimates for a base-trim truck.

Trailer and 360° cameras

Which camera option do you need?

Some Ram camera packages include cameras, while others only add the wiring or a digital mirror. See what each option code, from XAK to XH7, actually adds.

Ram camera packages explained

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.
GVWR: Gross vehicle weight rating: the most the loaded vehicle may weigh, itself plus everything in it.
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.
