Want to learn more? Then keep reading to learn about the RAM 2500 engine, towing capacity, as well as fuel tank size – after all, even the RAM 2500’s towing capacity is useless if you can’t hold enough fuel to move!

2024 RAM 2500 Engine

The standard RAM 2500 engine powering the lineup is the famous 6.4L HEMI® V-8. While powerful and reliable, those seeking even more power can opt for the 6.7L Cummins Turbo Diesel I-6. Optional for all trims other than the Power Wagon®, losing 40 hp by switching from the HEMI® seems trivial when you gain over 400 lb-ft of torque with the Cummins!

6.4L HEMI® V-8

• 410 hp, 429 lb-ft of torque
• Paired with automatic eight-speed automatic transmission
• Maximum towing capacity: 17,420 pounds
• Maximum payload capacity: 4,010 pounds

6.7L Cummins Turbo Diesel I-6 (Standard Output)

• 370 hp, 850 lb-ft of torque
• Paired with six-speed automatic transmission
• Maximum towing capacity: 20,000 pounds
• Maximum payload capacity: 3,150 pounds

With the additional torque and other trailering equipment, 6.7L Cummins enables the 2024 RAM 2500 towing capacity to reach its 20,000-pound maximum. So when you need to switch to a different worksite in DuPont, it’ll be a breeze to tow your gear with you.

Loading and unloading is a different matter entirely, but with a payload capacity of 3,150 pounds and a spacious interior, we’re sure you’ll have enough room to take a helpful crew along!
