How to Find a Truck That’s Ready to Keep Up with You

Looking for a truck that can tow your big weekend fun (like fifth wheels)? Or maybe hauling a utility trailer around the worksite is more your pace. Either way, you’ll want to find a pickup with the right trailering capabilities to take on your jobs—which is why it’s critical to understand the 2021 RAM 1500 towing capacity in contrast to the heavy-duty nature of the RAM 2500 and RAM 3500 models. Not to worry though, as today, we’ll take a look at these tow ratings and explore what they mean for your jobs and fun on the go. Ready to see how a rugged pickup can change how you drive?

A Light-Duty Truck: Built Around Epic-Duty Tasks

Meet the RAM 1500 and 1500 TRX, two trucks that are geared for carrying around your lighter loads while helping you have fun on the side. When you take command of a RAM 1500 pickup, you’ll have the potential to tow up to 12,750 lbs when properly equipped, which allows you to move your boats, powersport vehicles (like ATVs and jet skis), and even small moving trailers filled with clothes and furniture. Alongside all these luxuries, keep in mind these light-duty models are still geared for riding fun in mind—so when you’re not towing, the RAM 1500 TRX can push you from 0-60 mph in as fast as 4.5 seconds—so you can ride with the best of both worlds: fun and capability.

Go All-In with Heavy-Duty Pickups: The RAM 2500 & 3500

While these heavy-duty pickups aren’t geared for the sporty performance you’ll find in the RAM 1500 models, you’ll find the towing and capability is far stronger, with the RAM 2500 (equipped with the available 6.7L Cummins® Turbo Diesel I6 motor) can tow up to 19,680 lbs, which is enough strength to move most fifth wheels and RVs you’ll find to make your camping and road trips far more exciting. Meanwhile, the RAM 3500 can tow up to 37,100 lbs, partially thanks to the available dual rear wheels, which is enough power to move some commercial-grade goods, livestock and horses, and even large trailers. In fact, when you’re cruising with these reliable models, it’s hard to find a job that ever feels off-limits.
