When it comes to towing, the 2026 Ram 1500 is in a class of its own. With proper configuration and the available tow package, it can pull up to 11,610 lb—enough to haul heavy-duty trailers, boats, or construction gear. Multiple engine options—including the powerful new 5.7L HEMI® V8 and the high-output 3.0L Hurricane I6—combine torque with intelligence to help you tow more efficiently and securely.
