How to Tow With the Ram 1500

You can tow up to 12,750 pounds with the Ram 1500 here at Menard Auto Sales in Ruma, IL. This is possible with the two-wheel-drive 5.7L Hemi V8 engine with Ram mild hybrid system. To tow that much, the vehicle needs to be well-equipped with 18-by-8-inch wheels, full-size spare tire, 3.92:1 axle ratio, LT275/65R18 tires, and also add the Trailer Tow Group package. These features are part of the Max Tow Package offered by Ram. For all the other models, you need this Max Tow Package to tow to the maximum capacity.

The Trailer Tow Group package brings features, such as trailer tow mirrors, Class IV receiver hitch, and trailer brakes control.
