The all-new 2022 RAM 1500 is the one vehicle that comes to mind when talking about towing capabilities. It is capable of towing 12,750 pounds, a feat rarely seen in any other vehicle. This huge capacity for towing can be obtained if your 2022 RAM 1500 is equipped with the 5.7L HEMI V8 Engine with eTorque.
RAM models are renowned for their strength, thanks to the manufacturers using only high-quality steel frames. There are five different engine options available, each of them having a different towing capacity. The V8 engine with eTorque has the most towing capacity, while the others, although lesser, are still quite impressive. The V8 engine without eTorque will allow the 2022 RAM 1500 to tow up to 11,610 pounds.
The question arises; why does eTorque make such a big difference? eTorque is a 48-volt system that enhances the launch torque by almost 130 lb-ft. If you are regularly in the habit of towing heavy loads with your 2022 RAM 1500, the eTorque engine is perfect for you.
The eTorque is available in the V8 engine and the 3.6L Pentastar V6 engine. However, 2022 RAM 1500’s owners can choose not to have it if they so wish. The 3.6L Pentastar V6 engine with eTorque is capable of towing up to 7,730 pounds.
The next engine option is the 3.0L EcoDiesel V6 engine. A 2022 RAM 1500 having this engine is capable of towing a maximum of 12,650 pounds. It counterbalances the lesser towing power with a better fuel economy.
