Crucial Towing Tips For the RAM 2500

1

The 6.7L Cummins Turbo Diesel provides massive torque for hill climbs and features an excellent exhaust brake to preserve service brakes.

2

Payload can be a bottleneck on luxury diesel 3/4-ton trucks; check your specific door pillar sticker as diesel engines are very heavy.

3

Engage 'Tow/Haul' mode and utilize the smart exhaust brake on steep mountain grades.

4

Heavy-duty truck frames handle high pin weights, but always verify trailer hitch setups match the heavy 2.5-inch receiver box.
