2015 Ram 3500 Crew CAB towing capacity

The 2015 Ram 3500 Crew CAB is published in 14 configurations, with tow ratings ranging from 17,010 to 29,010 lb depending on cab, bed, drivetrain, and hitch class. The peak figure (29,010 lb) sits in heavy-duty fifth-wheel territory.

The table below lists every trim of the 2015 Ram 3500 Crew 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

How to interpret the headline tow figure

Tow figures this high require a gooseneck or fifth-wheel hitch installed in the bed of the truck, and a corresponding trailer setup. Conventional bumper-pull towing on the same vehicle is typically capped well below this number — usually under 15,000 lb. Always check the door-jamb sticker and owner's manual for the maximum permitted on each hitch class before hooking up.
