2012 Ram 3500
No towing chart for the 2012 Ram 3500 is cited on this page. It is part of the Fourth-generation HD (2011–2018). The rating still depends on engine, cab, bed, axle, drivetrain, package, and hitch.
No chart cell is cited for 2012, so there is no bar to draw.
The build table for 2012 is not transcribed. This page will not multiply trims, cabs, and engines into trucks the order guide did not list.
Chart not cited for 2012This page will not borrow a neighboring year’s number. The nearest cited 3500 year is 2014. Open it for that year’s figures only.

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.

Questions
- How much can a 2012 Ram 3500 tow?
- No towing chart for the 2012 Ram 3500 is cited on this page. It is part of the Fourth-generation HD (2011–2018). The rating still depends on engine, cab, bed, axle, drivetrain, package, and hitch.
- Did 3500 towing change for 2012?
- Nothing on file says the published maximum changed for 2012. That is not the same as proof that it stayed the same.
- Which configuration hits the maximum?
- There is no cited maximum for this model year yet, so there is no configuration to name.
- What tongue weight should I plan for a 2012 3500?
- There is no cited trailer rating for this year. Follow the trailer and vehicle instructions, measure tongue or pin weight, and count that load against your truck’s payload allowance.
