What is the 2021 Ram 1500’s Maximum Towing Capacity?

Ram 1500 TowingThis is the question you’ve been waiting for, and we can’t wait to answer it. However, before we do, we’ll need to take a quick peek under the hood.

You see, the number of pounds a vehicle is able to tow depends on the specifications of the engine. As it so happens—and as you saw from the table above—the 2021 Ram 1500 offers five engines to choose from. That means each engine offers its own towing weights. Let’s look!

It starts with the standard 3.6L Pentastar® V6 engine with eTorque. Along with 305 horsepower and 269 lb-ft of torque, it nets an impressive 7,730 pounds of towing. Putting that number into perspective, that’s more than enough to tow a pontoon boat.

At the highest level of towing capacity is the available 5.7L HEMI® V8 engine with eTorque. Here, 410 lb-ft of torque and 395 horsepower coincide with an incredible 12,750 pounds of maximum towing.

Smart Towing Features of the Ram 1500

Now that you’re all up to speed on the towing capacity of the 1500, it’s time to explore this pickup’s additional towing features, particularly ones relating to safety and driver assistance.

You’ll find an abundance of smart towing features inside the 1500, including:

Trailer Reverse Steering Control (TRSC): By using the Trailer Steering knob, the trailer reverse process is made simpler. With available TRSC, you’ll control your trailer’s direction while the system controls the truck’s steering wheel.

360° Surround View Camera: Five cameras combine to provide a complete visual of the areas surrounding your vehicle. This available feature becomes particularly handy when aligning your truck with your trailer.
