FAQ
What is the maximum towing capacity of the 2025 Ram 3500?
36,610 lbs — but only in one specific configuration: the 6.7L Cummins I6 High-Output Turbo Diesel, 4x4, Regular, 3.42 axle ratio. Other configurations rate as low as 14,560 lbs. Source: 2025 Ram Heavy Duty Payload & Towing Weight Capacities (official, SAE J2807).
Can a 2025 Ram 3500 tow a 25-foot travel trailer?
A typical 25-ft travel trailer weighs 6,000–7,500 lbs loaded. Higher-rated 3500 configurations (up to 36,610 lbs) handle that with margin, but payload is usually the real constraint: ~750+ lbs of tongue weight plus passengers counts against payload, not the tow rating. Use the calculator above with your exact configuration and passenger count.
How do I find MY 3500's exact towing capacity?
Enter the VIN above — it resolves engine, drivetrain, and cab. If your configuration's rating still depends on axle ratio or tow package (the VIN doesn't encode those), check the door-jamb certification label, or pull your window sticker free on CarWhere — it lists both.
