If you have been looking to purchase a light-duty pickup that offers the best towing capacity, then you should set your sights on the 2022 Ram 1500. This lineup is capable of pulling quite a bit of weight when properly equipped. Plus, you can reserve the exact version of this truck that you want by getting in touch with O’Connor Chrysler in BC.
Â
The first thing you should know about trailering with the Ram 1500 is that the output will vary depending on a few different factors. These can include the powertrain, body style, trim level, and even the add-ons.
Â
For reaching the maximum potential of hauling up to 5,783 kg (12,750 lbs), you need the following model:
Â
Any trim level that is equipped with the available 5.7-litre V8 engine with the Trailer Tow Group installed will work hard for you. This motor delivers 395 hp and 410 lb-ft of torque, and it comes with an 8-speed automatic transmission. It is standard on the Sport, Rebel, Laramie, Limited Longhorn, and Limited. However, it is optional for the Tradesman and Big Horn.
Â
Finally, the trailer Tow Group adds extended side mirrors, a trailer brake controller, pre-wired connections, and the Class IV receiver hitch.
