The diesel engine offers an astounding towing capacity of up to 37,090 pounds with a factory-fitted available Fifth Wheel Gooseneck hitch from Mopar. An available diesel torque complements this immense towing ability. The torque is up to 1,075 lb-ft, making the Ram 3500 a top choice for the most demanding towing and hauling tasks.
