Official-source quick answer

Ram lists available max hybrid towing at 12,750 lb and available max hybrid payload at 2,300 lb for 2024 Ram 1500. The highest conventional towing row extracted here is 12,750 lb. That is not a universal rating; it depends on the exact engine, axle ratio, cab, bed, drivetrain, tow equipment, payload, and hitch setup.

Use Ram's VIN/configuration towing guide and the driver-door payload label because trim, cab, bed, drivetrain, axle, and options change ratings. Official Ram customer payload and towing sheet. Ram publishes max hybrid towing and payload callouts; exact ratings still require the VIN-specific payload and towing guide.
