Best tow rating by engine and cab

Engine	Regular Cab	Crew Cab	Mega Cab
6.4L HEMI V8	17,840 lb	17,420 lb	Not rated
6.7L Cummins turbo diesel (High Output)	20,000 lb	19,990 lb	15,710 lb

What the numbers mean

Max trailer: The heaviest trailer the configuration is rated to pull, with the right hitch and the truck carrying only a driver. Every passenger and every pound in the bed comes off it.
Payload: What the truck can carry in the cab and bed, including people and the trailer's tongue or pin weight. It is GVWR minus the truck's own weight.
GVWR: Gross vehicle weight rating: the most the loaded truck may weigh, itself plus everything in it.
GCWR: Gross combined weight rating: the most the loaded truck and loaded trailer may weigh together. It is often the number that runs out first.
Axle ratio: A higher number (3.92 against 3.21) turns the engine faster at a given speed. It costs some fuel economy and usually raises the tow rating.

2500 towing questions

What is the most a 2027 Ram 2500 can tow?

20,000 lb, for a 4X2 Regular Cab 8'0"-box, 6.7L Cummins turbo diesel (High Output), 3.42 axle. That is the top of the manufacturer's chart; most configurations are rated lower, so check the exact cab, bed, engine and axle ratio.

What is the lowest tow rating for a 2027 Ram 2500?

10,530 lb, for a 4X4 Crew Cab 6'4"-box Power Wagon, 6.4L HEMI V8, 4.10 axle. Across the 76 configurations in the chart the ratings run from 10,530 lb to 20,000 lb.

Which 2500 has the most payload?

A 4X4 Regular Cab 8'0"-box with the Payload Upgrade, 6.4L HEMI V8, 3.73 axle, rated for 4,580 lb of payload. Payload falls as trims add equipment and weight, so a well-equipped truck carries less than this.
