2013 Ram 2500
The highest fifth-wheel-hitch rating for the 2013 Ram 2500 is 18,350 lb, the top of 2 rows transcribed from Ram’s 2013 Ram 2500 Pickup Towing Chart. That row is printed for the 6.7 DIESEL CUMMINGS - ETK, Regular Cab, Long box bed, 2WD, 3.42 axle, REG CAB LONG BOX 4X2 ST/TRADESMAN, trans 6-SPEED AUTOMATIC - DG7 XBS. 1 of the 2 transcribed fifth-wheel-hitch chart rows for 2013 is below 18,350 lb. The other cited maximum for the 2013 Ram 2500 is 17,950 lb on a conventional hitch. Across 161 manufacturer chart rows for 2013, ratings run conventional 10,540 lb to 17,950 lb; fifth-wheel 18,220 lb to 18,350 lb; the engine, cab, axle ratio and package on your truck decide its number.

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 17,950 lb conventional maximum is 1,795 lb of tongue weight. This is not a measured load or recommended percentage; actual load may be higher.
- An illustrative 15 percent of the 18,350 lb fifth-wheel maximum is 2,753 lb of pin weight. This is not a measured load or recommended percentage; actual load may be higher.

- Engine and transmission
- Cab, bed, and wheelbase

Questions
- How much can a 2013 Ram 2500 tow?
- The highest fifth-wheel-hitch rating for the 2013 Ram 2500 is 18,350 lb, the top of 2 rows transcribed from Ram’s 2013 Ram 2500 Pickup Towing Chart. That row is printed for the 6.7 DIESEL CUMMINGS - ETK, Regular Cab, Long box bed, 2WD, 3.42 axle, REG CAB LONG BOX 4X2 ST/TRADESMAN, trans 6-SPEED AUTOMATIC - DG7 XBS. 1 of the 2 transcribed fifth-wheel-hitch chart rows for 2013 is below 18,350 lb. The other cited maximum for the 2013 Ram 2500 is 17,950 lb on a conventional hitch.
- Did 2500 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 18,350 lb fifth-wheel maximum is printed for the 6.7 DIESEL CUMMINGS - ETK, Regular Cab, Long box bed, 2WD, 3.42 axle, REG CAB LONG BOX 4X2 ST/TRADESMAN, trans 6-SPEED AUTOMATIC - DG7 XBS.
- What tongue weight should I plan for a 2013 2500?
- At the cited 17,950 lb conventional maximum, an illustrative 10% assumption produces 1,795 lb of tongue weight. This is not a recommended percentage or a measurement; follow your trailer and vehicle instructions and measure the actual load. At the cited 18,350 lb fifth-wheel maximum, an illustrative 15% assumption produces 2,753 lb of pin 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.
