2024 Ram 2500 towing capacity by configuration

The manufacturer rates the 2024 Ram 2500 to tow between 10,610 lb and 20,000 lb, depending on cab, bed, drive, engine and axle ratio. Below are all 44 factory configurations in its 2024 towing chart. Narrow them to the truck you're looking at, or one a Southeastern dealer has on the lot.

Figures are the brochure's maximums for each configuration, shown as separate 4x2 and 4x4 ratings, with weights rounded to the nearest 10 lb.
Trailer weight and payload ratings are mutually exclusive: a truck loaded to its maximum payload cannot also tow its maximum trailer.
Curb weight and axle ratings are not published in this brochure, so they are left blank.
Gross vehicle weight ratings are listed separately for 4x2 and 4x4 where the brochure gives two values.
The brochure rates the base-equipment truck, with different equipment noted for the Power Wagon, Rebel and Mega Cab (Laramie) models.
Ratings assume proper equipment, and a fifth-wheel or gooseneck hitch is required above 18,000 lb.
The 8,565 lb GVWR row is the Power Wagon (Crew Cab, 4x4, 6.4L, 4.10 axle) and the 9,680 lb GVWR row is the Rebel (Crew Cab, 4x4, diesel, 3.73 axle); both are footnoted in the brochure as different equipment from the base 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.
