How much can the Ram 2500 tow?

The 2026 Ram 2500 can tow up to 20,000 pounds when equipped with the 6.7L Cummins turbo-diesel and a fifth-wheel or gooseneck hitch. Conventional towing reaches approximately 17,580 pounds. The 6.4L HEMI V8 provides up to 17,580 pounds of conventional towing capacity.

What is the Ram 2500 Power Wagon?

The Power Wagon is the only factory-built off-road heavy-duty truck. It features a disconnecting front sway bar, front and rear locking differentials, a 12,000-pound Warn winch, Bilstein shocks, and 33-inch off-road tires. It is only available with the 6.4L HEMI V8 and is designed for maximum off-road capability.

Should I choose the HEMI or Cummins in the Ram 2500?

Choose the 6.7L Cummins diesel if you regularly tow heavy loads, as its 850 lb-ft of torque makes towing effortless and the engine is renowned for longevity. Choose the 6.4L HEMI V8 if you want lower upfront cost, do not tow as frequently, or want the Power Wagon off-road capability. The HEMI also has lower maintenance costs than the diesel.
