With this engine you can tow up to 12,750 lbs of cargo, while the all-wheel drive version allows you to tow up to 11,410 lbs!

Lastly, at the top of the line-up is the one and only RAM TRX. It features an incredibly powerful and very exclusive 6.2 L supercharged V8 engine that unleashes 702 horsepower and 650 lb-ft of torque. It is available only with all-wheel drive and delivers a towing capacity of 8,100 lbs.
The payload of the RAM 1500 is no less than 2,300 lbs. Beyond its impressive capabilities, the RAM 1500 also offers a host of features to make your job easier, including:
The interior of the RAM welcomes you to a comfortable and customizable cabin with 8 different configurations to choose from. With heated luxury leather seats, a premium audio system and many other options, you will truly be in a cozy living room.
Not only does it include a fast and intuitive next-generation multimedia system, the UConnect 5 with a 12-inch touchscreen, but it also incorporates a number of optional features designed for driving with a trailer. These include a 360-degree panoramic camera, and even a trailer camera, so you can get the job done in no time.
