Ram 1500
Towing Capacity
The Ram 1500 is rated to tow 4,500 kg braked. Checked on braked capacity, ball weight and GCM (Gross Combination Mass), 638 caravans on the site fit that rating.
Start from the caravan instead: pick the van you like, and its page checks it against your car.
1500 towing capacity by variant
Braked towing capacity varies across the 1500 range. Pick yours and the table below matches every caravan against it. Then confirm the figures against your own compliance plate.
| Variant | Braked towing | Years | GCM |
|---|---|---|---|
| 4,500 kg | 2019 onwards | 7,713 kg | |
| 4,500 kg | 2018-2025 | 7,237 kg |
GCM (Gross Combination Mass) is the most a 1500 may weigh with the caravan attached. It is a separate limit from braked towing capacity. With the family, the gear and a full tank aboard, a rig can sit inside its towing limit and still be over its GCM.
How we matched these to your 1500
Every caravan below is checked against the DS / DT (Laramie / Limited) (4,500 kg braked), the highest-rated 1500 we list. We compare each caravan's ATM (Aggregate Trailer Mass) and ball weight against that car's limits, using the same rules as our tow calculator.
- Comfortable match - the van sits inside your towing limit with room for payload.
- Close to the limit - inside your towing or ball-weight limit by less than 10%. Watch how you load it.
638 caravans a Ram 1500 can tow
This is a guide off the makers' published figures.The legal numbers are the compliance plates on your car and the van. Where we do not hold a published ball weight, we estimate it at 10% of ATM.Weigh the loaded rig at a public weighbridge to know for sure, then read the ticket.
Two people buy the same van at the same price. One gets a loan rate 2% higher than the other.
On a $155,000 van, the one with the higher rate pays about $10,600 more over seven years.

Our guides to the numbers on this page.
Check your own car's figures
Published towing figures describe a factory-standard car. A bullbar, a long-range tank or suspension changes can move your real limits. Your 1500's own figures are in its owner's manual. Cars built before July 2021 also carry them on a compliance plate in the door pillar. GCM (Gross Combination Mass) is the most the loaded car and van may weigh together, and the family and the gear count towards it. Weigh the loaded rig at a public weighbridge.

Checking a different caravan?
Run any 1500 against any van for ball weight, GCM and what the car has left to carry.

Ram 1500 towing questions
What can a Ram 1500 tow?
The Ram 1500 is rated to tow 4,500 kg braked. On the caravan side the figure to work from is ATM, the weight of the van fully loaded. Every van below is checked against your car's braked rating using the maker's published figures. Each one is marked a comfortable match or close to the limit.
What size caravan can a Ram 1500 realistically tow?
Work from each caravan's ATM. The Ram 1500 is rated to tow 4,500 kg braked. Leave real margin for water, gear and a loaded boot. A van compared at its empty weight will be heavier once you pack it. Then check the figures against the compliance plate on your own car.
Do all 1500 variants tow the same weight?
Braked towing capacity is 4,500 kg across the 1500 variants on this page. Confirm it against your own compliance plate, because options and accessories change the numbers.
