2024 Ram 3500 Towing Capacity: 37,090-lb Maximum Explained
2024 Ram 3500 Towing Capacity: 37,090-lb Maximum Explained with application chart, generation boundaries, verification steps and official manufacturer lookup.
The 2024 Ram 3500 reaches a maximum 37,090-lb trailer rating only in qualifying 4x2, regular-cab, long-bed, dual-rear-wheel configurations with the high-output 6.7L Cummins, Aisin transmission and 4.10 axle.
The 2024 Ram 3500 reaches a maximum 37,090-lb trailer rating only in qualifying 4x2, regular-cab, long-bed, dual-rear-wheel configurations with the high-output 6.7L Cummins, Aisin transmission and 4.10 axle.
This is a configuration maximum from Ram's 2024 SAE J2807 Heavy Duty chart—not a universal rating for every 3500. Gas versus diesel, standard versus high-output Cummins, axle ratio, regular/crew/Mega Cab, bed, 4x2/4x4 and single/dual rear wheels each change the row.
Maximum payload and maximum trailer weight occur on different configurations and are mutually exclusive in Ram's chart. Confirm the truck's VIN equipment, GVWR, GCWR, axle ratings, payload label and hitch limits; then subtract occupants, cargo, accessories and pin or tongue weight before declaring that a trailer fits.

Dodge Ram 3500 Towing Capacity Chart
| APPLICATION / ITEM | SPECIFICATION | NOTES |
|---|---|---|
| Maximum available towing | 37,090 lb | HO Cummins qualifying configuration |
| Engine | 6.7L HO Cummins | Aisin automatic |
| Axle ratio at maximum | 4.10 | Configuration-specific |
| Drivetrain/cab at maximum | 4x2 Regular Cab | Long bed, dual rear wheels |
| Maximum gas-engine payload row | 7,680 lb | Different configuration; not simultaneous max tow |
| Standards basis | SAE J2807 | Factory chart still requires exact row |
Maximum payload and maximum trailer weight occur on different configurations and are mutually exclusive in Ram's chart. Confirm the truck's VIN equipment, GVWR, GCWR, axle ratings, payload label and hitch limits; then subtract occupants, cargo, accessories and pin or tongue weight before declaring that a trailer fits.
What builds the 37,090-lb configuration
The headline rating requires a specific high-output Cummins/Aisin, 4.10-axle, two-wheel-drive, regular-cab, long-bed dual-rear-wheel combination. Removing any one of those assumptions can move the truck into a lower chart row.
A Crew Cab or Mega Cab, four-wheel drive, single rear wheels, another axle or the standard-output engine carries different curb weight and GCWR. Decode the truck before selecting a number by engine badge alone.
Maximum payload and maximum towing are different trucks
Ram explicitly notes that trailer and payload maxima are mutually exclusive. The light gas-engine configuration that produces the largest payload is not the heavy diesel combination that produces maximum trailer weight.
Fifth-wheel pin weight can become the limiting load even when the trailer is below 37,090 lb. Add occupants, bed cargo, hitch assembly and pin load and compare the result with the door-label payload and both axle ratings.
