2022 Ram 2500 Towing Capacity

THE TOWING CAPACITY OF THE RAM 2500

With the 2022 Ram 2500, there are two engines you can choose to power this truck. Depending on the one you select, the towing capacity of this truck varies.

With that kind of towing strength, the Ram 2500 is able to pull along much more than your standard trailer. You can take your RV out for the weekend, hitch up your large horse trailer, and pull along construction equipment when working on a home improvement project. These aren’t the only adventures you can tackle but just a taste of the world to come when you’re behind the wheel of the Ram 2500.

Along with the incredible towing strength, both engines’ horsepower (HP) outputs shouldn’t be overlooked. Having a generous amount of HP at your disposal means you’ll be able to ow up to 20,000 pounds and still move at a steady clip. This also results in faster times overall, meaning if you’ve involved with a time-sensitive project, you’ll make it in time.

HITCH UP WITH EASE

There are also a range of features you can get equipped on your Ram 2500 to help with towing all that weight. Its advanced camera system is useful in more ways than one. With the available 360° Surround View Camera, you can easily back right up to your trailer and line it up for quick hitching. Additionally, this surround view lets you notice any issues or potential hazards near your trailer or other vehicle.

When you want to back up your trailer safely, the Trailer Reverse Guidance View will help make that happen. It provides a view of either side of your trailer, which becomes especially beneficial when in the middle of traffic while towing something substantial. While this is only one example, there are many opportunities when reversing your trailer or towed item is safely helped by this technology.

Working in conjunction with the Trailer Reverse Guidance View is the ParkSense® Front and Rear Park Assist technology. Designed specifically for parking, this system taps into the available sensors within the front bumper and rear lower valance. It relays pertinent information, like nearby objects or other obstructions, in a graphic displayed in the instrument cluster.

There’s also the available Auto-Level Rear Air Suspension, which includes a Bed Lowering Mode. With this feature, you can lower the back end of the Ram 2500 to make it easy to hook up equipment once your hitch and trailer are lined up. Lining them up is easier than ever thanks to the provided Trailer Hitch Light that makes hitching day or night convenient.

EXTRA ASSISTANCE WHILE TOWING

The 2022 Ram 2500 also features advanced driver-assistive technologies, some of which can help you confidently tow any equipment you’re taking along for the ride.

• Trailer Tire Pressure Monitoring system: With this available system, you can get live readings of the pressure of your trailer’s tires. That way, you’ll know they’re all properly inflated to provide the best traction possible.
• Forward Collision Warning with Active Braking: If the car in front of you suddenly slows down, this available system can quickly apply the brakes and bring your Ram 2500 and whatever you’re towing to a complete stop to help prevent an accident.
• Blind Spot Monitoring: Even with your trailer attached, this available system can scan your blind spot and let you know when it’s clear to move both your truck and trailer into the adjacent lane. 
• Digital Rearview Mirror with Tow Mode: When you’re looking for a clear view behind your camper, trailer, or other hitched material, the Digital Rearview Mirror with Tow Mode will show a live feed taken directly from a trailer camera connected on the rear bumper.
• Integrated Towing Hardware: A rear-axle structural crossmember comes factory installed and features integrated mounting hardware for the available Fifth-Wheel/Gooseneck Prep Package that helps prepare your Ram 2500 for towing heavier loads.

An additional assistive technology that helps with towing is the Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop feature. This safety and security system maintains a set distance, programmed by the driver, from vehicles directly ahead. When traffic slows down, that’s registered by the system and will automatically adjust the Ram 2500’s speed to as low as 0 mph if necessary, even with a trailer attached.

A set of lighting features is also noteworthy. The first is the available Adaptive Forward Lighting System. This system utilizes LED lights that offer enhanced visibility to help you safely navigate dim to pitch-black road conditions. The next feature is the available 15° Turning Headlamps. These lend additional security to the navigation of dark conditions as well as in areas featuring unpredictable terrain.
