Each engine comes paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission, complete with drive modes to accommodate for towing and payload.
Heavy-Duty Pickup Truck Towing & Payload Capacities
One of the biggest reasons workers and drivers seek out a heavy-duty truck is due to the vehicle’s impressive abilities to tow and haul immense amounts of cargo and materials. The Ram 2500 is no different, but its limitations do vary with the engine options that are available. Depending on your needs, you may want to carefully consider your desired engine.
The entry-level 5.7-liter V8 can tow an impressive 13,890 pounds and carry 3,060 pounds of payload. Upgrading to the 6.4-liter V8 pushes the limits even further with 16,320 pounds of towing abilities and a 3,990-pound payload limit. The 6.7-liter Turbo Diesel has the highest towing rating of the Ram 2500 at 17,980 pounds. In terms of payload, its limit drops to 3,160 pounds.
