2000 Dodge RAM Wagon towing capacity

The 2000 Dodge RAM Wagon is published in 5 configurations, with tow ratings ranging from 4,100 to 7,200 lb depending on cab, bed, drivetrain, and hitch class. The peak figure (7,200 lb) sits in mid-size SUV / pickup territory.

The table below lists every trim of the 2000 Dodge RAM Wagon 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.

Per-trim breakdown

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 1999

The 1999 Dodge RAM Wagon carried a maximum tow rating of 8,100 lb. The 2000 model is rated 900 lb lower — sometimes a real spec change, sometimes a re-test under a stricter standard like SAE J2807. See the 1999 Dodge RAM Wagon page for the full per-trim breakdown of the prior year.
