How much can the 2027 Ram 2500 tow?

Between boats headed for Lake Michigan, campers pointed up US-131, and equipment trailers working around Grand Rapids, towing is the whole reason West Michigan buys heavy-duty trucks. The 2027 Ram 2500 obliges with up to 20,000 pounds of towing when properly equipped, plus a new payload package that lifts its carrying limit to 4,580 pounds. Here is how the Zeigler CDJR of Grandville team reads the numbers.

The 2027 Ram 2500 reaches its 20,000-pound maximum with the 6.7L Cummins High Output turbo diesel, whose 430 horsepower and best-in-class 1,075 lb-ft flow through a TorqueFlite HD eight-speed. For the heaviest trailers, the available factory prep group readies the bed for a fifth-wheel or gooseneck hitch.

The 405-horsepower 6.4L HEMI V8 handles up to 17,740 pounds properly equipped, which covers most travel trailers and boats on this side of the state. Every truck includes an integrated trailer brake controller and trailer sway control as standard.
