2025 Ram 1500 Towing Capability

The towing capacity of the 2025 Ram 1500 is contingent on the engine option that you choose. For example, the standard Pentastar 3.6L V6 engine offers 305 horsepower and 269 lb-ft of torque, providing drivers a maximum towing capacity of up to 8,100 pounds. Meanwhile, Ram has introduced a new engine for the 2025 model year, in pursuit of more fuel efficiency without sacrificing power. This was achieved by the Hurricane engine. Hurricane is a 3.0L twin-turbocharged straight-six engine. The standard output Hurricane engine lays down 420 horsepower and 469 lb-ft of torque. This boosts the towing capacity up to 11,580 pounds. Finally, the Hurricane’s high-output variant offers a 10,740-pound towing capacity with an impressive 540 horsepower and 521 lb-ft of torque. It is important that we note that these towing capacities are achieved with Ram’s Trailer Tow Package.

To help drivers of all skill levels tow their cargo, whether it be work materials, a boat, a camper, or anything else, Ram offers an array of equipment to get them started. For example, all Ram 1500 models come standard with a Class IV trailer hitch, offering a trailering weight of up to 12,000 pounds. Meanwhile, the Ram 1500 can also be outfitted with a fifth-wheel or gooseneck trailer if your towing job requires it. Another towing package is the Max Tow Group, which adds telescoping tow mirrors and Ram’s Trailer Brake Controller. Meanwhile, the Trailer Tow Group continues with these features and adds Trailer Reverse Steering Control. Ram offers these technologies and more to make towing a breeze for novices and experienced haulers alike. Below, we’ll give you more information about the advanced towing technologies available for the 2025 Ram 1500!

Above, we mentioned the Trailer Brake Controller and Trailer Reverse Steering Control available in the Max Tow Group and Trailer Tow Group. The Trailer Brake Controller allows you to control the pressure of the trailer’s brakes if equipped to safely slow down without having any cargo shift during transport. Meanwhile, Trailer Reverse Steering Control is an even more impressive system. Using a knob on the center console, this allows you to control the direction of the trailer while the truck takes control of the steering wheel. Seamlessly guiding your trailer precisely where it needs to go. Another advanced available technology is blindspot monitoring with trailer coverage. This alerts you to vehicles in your blind spots on either side and accounts for the length of a trailer up to 39.5 feet long! Meanwhile, while parking your trailer, the available 360-degree surround-view camera system comes in handy by providing a birds-eye view of your truck, the trailer and your surroundings to help you avoid any obstacles. For 2025, the Trailer Auto Hitch Assist. This gives the truck the ability to automatically steer itself to align its trailer hitch perfectly to the tongue of the trailer, allowing the driver to focus solely on the throttle and brakes. Other advanced features include an LED trailer hitch light, Trailer Camera Prep, rear air suspension, and more.
