Towing capacity refers to the maximum weight a vehicle can pull behind it, including both the weight of the trailer and its cargo. The 2025 Ram 1500 Big Horn has a maximum towing capacity of 12,750 pounds when properly equipped, making it one of the most capable light-duty pickup trucks on the market.
This impressive towing capacity is due in part to the Ram 1500’s powerful engine lineup. The base engine is a 3.6-liter V6 with 305 horsepower and 269 lb-ft of torque. However, the most popular engine is the 5.7-liter V8 with 395 horsepower and 410 lb-ft of torque. For even more power, there’s the 6.4-liter V8 with 410 horsepower and 429 lb-ft of torque.
