Check Out Ram Towing Capacities

When towing and hauling are your thing, it’s important to find the perfect truck for your needs. At Gill CDJR, we know that the Ram 1500 light-duty, Ram 2500 light heavy-duty, and Ram 3500 Class 3 pickup trucks make excellent partners for every job and every adventure that needs a tow vehicle.

If you’re unsure what you need, ask the experts at Gill CDJR for advice. General towing guidelines put your average fishing boat at 2,500 pounds, the average car at 4,000 pounds, a fifth-wheel trailer at about 12,750 pounds, and a tractor comes in at around 15,500 pounds.

The Ram Classic pickup gives you a 10,610 pounds max towing capacity, while the Ram 1500 towing capacity ups that to 12,750 pounds. The Ram 2500 pickup allows owners to tow up to 19,990 pounds, and the Class 3 Ram 3500 means business with a 37,090 pound max towing capacity.

How to Tow a Tiny House with Your Ram Pickup

The most important factor to consider for tiny house owners wishing to haul their tiny home, is the gross weight of the tiny house and trailer. The average weight of a tiny house is about 10,000 pounds, but they do vary, ranging from as little as 3,000 pounds to as much as 15,000 pounds.

When considering what your tiny trailer weighs, the experts at Gill CDJR recommend choosing a truck with a tow rating that’s higher than the gross weight, rather than just hovering around the maximum weight limit.

Advanced towing technology can be super helpful on a big job like tiny house towing. Ram trucks offer a host of available options including a Class-Exclusive Link Coil Rear Suspension, a Class-Exclusive Auto-Level Rear Air Suspension system, and brand new Trailer Reverse Steering Control.
