Bed, tongue weight, and wheelbase
The trailer rating is one limit. The bed has to fit the load, the tongue or pin has to fit in payload, and the wheelbase is the column the chart uses.
- An illustrative 10 percent of the 10,450 lb conventional maximum is 1,045 lb of tongue weight. This is not a measured load or recommended percentage; actual load may be higher.

Questions
- How much can a 2013 Ram 1500 tow?
- The highest conventional-hitch rating for the 2013 Ram 1500 is 10,450 lb, the top of 352 rows transcribed from Ram’s 2013 Ram 1500 Pickup Towing Chart. That row is printed for the 5.7L V8 HEMI, Regular Cab, 8' bed, 2WD, 3.92 axle, Std Cab - 8' Box 4x2 - SLT / OUTDOORSMAN, trans A6 65RFE. Most configurations are rated lower: 349 of the 352 transcribed conventional-hitch chart rows for 2013 are below 10,450 lb.
- Did 1500 towing change for 2013?
- Compare the cited 2013 figures on this page with the 2012 record. They are stored separately.
- Which configuration hits the maximum?
- The 10,450 lb conventional maximum is printed for the 5.7L V8 HEMI, Regular Cab, 8' bed, 2WD, 3.92 axle, Std Cab - 8' Box 4x2 - SLT / OUTDOORSMAN, trans A6 65RFE.
- What tongue weight should I plan for a 2013 1500?
- At the cited 10,450 lb conventional maximum, an illustrative 10% assumption produces 1,045 lb of tongue weight. This is not a recommended percentage or a measurement; follow your trailer and vehicle instructions and measure the actual load. That load counts against payload and the rear axle rating.
