Drivers who need a reliable truck that can tow heavy trailers and carry tons of cargo can't go wrong with the 2023 RAM 3500. This model offers plenty of options, but don't get intimidated. At Heritage Chrysler Dodge Jeep® RAM Owings Mills, we can help you sort through your choices and build a truck that offers the towing and payload capacities that you require.
Towing Capacity
If there's one thing that RAM trucks are known for, it's towing. The 2023 RAM 3500 is available with three different engine options, and each offers an impressive amount of towing capacity. Your choices are:
- A 6.4-liter HEMI® gasoline V8 engine with a towing capacity of 18,210 pounds
- A 6.7-liter Cummins® Turbo Diesel inline-six engine with a capacity of 22,660 pounds
- A high-output Cummins® turbo diesel engine with a capacity of 37,090 pounds
Payload Ratings
The payload is how much weight the truck itself can carry, and it includes the weight of passengers and cargo. The payload rating of the RAM 3500 also varies by engine, and the gasoline engine offers the highest rating here. Your options are:
- The HEMI® V8 engine with a max payload of 7,680 pounds
- The Cummins® diesel engine with a max payload of 6,830 pounds
- The high-output Cummins® engine with a max payload of 6,560 pounds
The more the engine allows you to tow, the lower your payload will be. However, even the lowest max payload rating on this truck should be enough for most drivers.
