When you have the freedom to tow heavy loads, a world of possibilities is open to you. Whether it’s hitching up a trailer and moving your kid into their first apartment or hauling your boat down to the lake on a warm summer day, the power to tow makes everything from moving to vacationing more streamlined.

How much your Ram 1500 will be able to tow is ultimately going to depend on which engine you end up choosing.
