2025 Ram 1500 towing capacity
Up to 11,550 lbs with a conventional ball hitch. That rating is for this configuration: Tradesman, Quad Cab 6' 4" Bed 4x2, 3.0L I6 Twin Turbo Hurricane (SO), 2WD, 3.92 axle. The lowest-rated configuration in the same tables is 6,370 lbs, so the answer for your vehicle depends on how it is equipped.
Highest published rating11,550 lbsConventional (ball hitch). Lowest in the same tables: 6,370 lbs.
The sources disagree or need explaining. Ram published two charts for this year that disagree by up to a few hundred pounds for the same truck (for example 11,600 lbs in one and 11,550 lbs in the other). Both are shown, each linked to its own document. We do not know which is the later revision.
The top figure belongs to one specific build. Find the row that matches your engine, cab, drive and axle, and check the label on your driver's door jamb. Passengers and cargo in the truck come off what you can tow.
