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 11,600 lb conventional maximum is 1,160 lb of tongue weight. This is not a measured load or recommended percentage; actual load may be higher.

Change from 2024
- Conventional: 12,750 lb in 2024, 11,600 lb in 2025 (-1,150 lb).
What was different in 2025
- The 5.7L HEMI was not offered.
Generation
DT, Hurricane era
2025 is year 1 of this generation (2025–2026). Same DT truck, different engines. For 2025 the HEMI was gone and the Hurricane inline-six was the top gas engine. For 2026 the HEMI eTorque returned beside the Hurricane.
2025 towing by engine
Lowest to highest printed rating for each engine across 59 transcribed chart rows. A missing hitch means the chart did not print one for that engine, not that it is zero.
| Engine | Conventional | Chart rows |
|---|---|---|
| 3.0L I6 TWIN TURBO | 8,050–11,600 lb | 38 |

Questions
- How much can a 2025 Ram 1500 tow?
- The highest conventional-hitch rating for the 2025 Ram 1500 is 11,600 lb, the top of 59 rows transcribed from Ram’s 2025 Ram 1500 Towing Charts. That row is printed for the 3.0L I6 TWIN TURBO, Quad Cab, 6'4" bed, 2WD, 3.92 axle, RAM 1500 4X2 QUAD TRADESMAN 6'4" BOX, trans 8HP75, SRW. Most configurations are rated lower: 58 of the 59 transcribed conventional-hitch chart rows for 2025 are below 11,600 lb.
- Did 1500 towing change for 2025?
- The 5.7L HEMI was not offered.
- Which configuration hits the maximum?
- The 11,600 lb conventional maximum is printed for the 3.0L I6 TWIN TURBO, Quad Cab, 6'4" bed, 2WD, 3.92 axle, RAM 1500 4X2 QUAD TRADESMAN 6'4" BOX, trans 8HP75, SRW.
- What tongue weight should I plan for a 2025 1500?
- At the cited 11,600 lb conventional maximum, an illustrative 10% assumption produces 1,160 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.
