How Much Can a Ram 1500 Tow?

Each year, 75% of truck owners use their vehicles to tow roughly once per year, so towing is essential for buyers. The Ram 1500 is built to haul what owners need, whether a camper, a boat, jet skis, or even cars. Ram is a workhorse vehicle.  

When buying a new Ram, it can be daunting to compile all the information you need about towing and payload capacities. This is why Rairdon’s Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram of Marysville is making it easier to have all the data you need before even stepping onto our lot. We want you to feel confident in the truck that’s right for you.
