The table below lists every trim of the 2014 Ram 2500 Regular CAB 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

Configuration Engine HP Torque Axle Tow (lb) GVWR Curb Payload
Tradesman Pickup 2D 8 ft V8, HEMI, 5.7 Liter 383 400 13,890 5,943
SLT Pickup 2D 8 ft V8, HEMI, 6.4 Liter 410 429 13,810 6,023

How to interpret the headline tow figure

Ratings in this range are typically achievable with a weight-distributing hitch and the appropriate tow package. The conventional bumper-pull rating without weight distribution will be lower than the headline figure shown here — usually 5,000 to 8,000 lb. Confirm the hitch class on your vehicle's door-jamb sticker before towing at the upper end.

How this year compares to 2013

The 2013 Ram 2500 Regular CAB carried a maximum tow rating of 13,890 lb. The 2014 model carries the same headline figure — manufacturers usually leave the rating alone year-over-year unless there's a powertrain or hitch change. See the 2013 Ram 2500 Regular CAB page for the full per-trim breakdown of the prior year.
