Prose overview
The 2024 Ram 2500 carries a maximum towing capacity of 20,000 lbs when properly equipped, paired with a Gooseneck / 5th-wheel hitch. As with every truck and SUV, the rating swings by engine, drivetrain, cab and bed configuration, and rear axle ratio — so two 2024 Ram 2500s on the same lot can be rated thousands of pounds apart. Match your trailer to the lowestrelevant limit (towing capacity, payload, GCWR, and hitch rating), and verify against the sticker inside the driver's-side door jamb.
