2025 Ram 2500 Engine & Tow Specs

Sturdy capability and robust towing power keep your workday moving in the 2025 Ram 2500. If you’re looking for gas power, the 6.4L HEMI® V8 engine yields 405 horsepower and up to 4,420 pounds of maximum payload capacity. Haul your heaviest trailers with the maximum gas towing capacity of 17,750 pounds. If the monstrous torque and growl of a diesel engine is at the top of your list of must-haves in a new truck, the high-output 6.7L Cummins® inline six-cylinder (I6) turbo diesel is engineered to impress. Harness its 1,075 pound-feet of torque and tow up to 20,000 pounds with this hardy powertrain.

More than just an all-out workhorse, the 2025 Ram 2500 is available with unique off-road equipment for excellent all-terrain capability. Opt for the Ram 2500 Rebel® and enjoy the support of an electronic locking limited-slip rear differential and responsive Bilstein® off-road performance-tuned shocks. Further amplifying your capability, the Ram 2500 Power Wagon features Tru-Lok® front and rear axles and a rough terrain-ready raised suspension. For greater versatility when you’re towing, as well as enhanced comfort, get your Ram 2500 equipped with the optional automatic-leveling rear air suspension.
