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.

3500 towing questions

What is the most a 2027 Ram 3500 can tow?

37,020 lb, for a 4X2 Regular Cab 8'0"-box dually, 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 3500?

14,470 lb, for a 4X4 Crew Cab No box (8'0" chassis), 6.4L HEMI V8, 3.73 axle. Across the 52 configurations in the chart the ratings run from 14,470 lb to 37,020 lb.

Which 3500 has the most payload?

A 4X2 Regular Cab 8'0"-box dually, 6.4L HEMI V8, 3.73 axle, rated for 7,580 lb of payload. Payload falls as trims add equipment and weight, so a well-equipped truck carries less than this.

How much does the engine change the 3500's tow rating?

6.4L HEMI V8: 14,470 lb to 18,140 lb; 6.7L Cummins turbo diesel (High Output): 23,550 lb to 37,020 lb.
