1993 Dodge RAM VAN towing capacity
The 1993 Dodge RAM VAN is published in 5 configurations, with tow ratings ranging from 6,300 to 9,000 lb depending on cab, bed, drivetrain, and hitch class. The peak figure (9,000 lb) sits in full-size truck and SUV territory.
The table below lists every trim of the 1993 Dodge RAM VAN with the engine, drivetrain, axle ratio, horsepower, torque, GVWR, curb weight, and payload that go with that trim's headline tow rating. Manufacturers often publish more than one tow figure per truck — a conventional bumper-hitch rating, a weight-distributing rating, and a gooseneck or fifth-wheel rating — so the highest number here is the maximum across all hitch classes the source carries for the trim.

How to interpret the headline tow figure
Tow ratings at this level are normally achievable with a conventional Class II or Class III receiver hitch. Always verify your vehicle has the manufacturer's tow package installed if you intend to tow at the upper end of the rating, and inspect the door-jamb sticker for the actual maximum permitted on your specific configuration.
How this year compares to 1992
The 1992 Dodge RAM VAN carried a maximum tow rating of 9,000 lb. The 1993 model carries the same headline figure — manufacturers usually leave the rating alone year-over-year unless there's a powertrain or hitch change.
