Ram offers three different types of pickup trucks: the 1500, the 2500, and the 3500. The biggest differences between these three trucks are their size and their capabilities. The Ram 1500 is a light-duty pickup truck while the 2500 and 3500 fall into the heavy-duty truck category. There are many overlaps between the three truck models, including their engines. However, where they differ most are their towing and hauling capabilities. The Ram 1500 can tow up to 5,783 kg and carry a max payload up to 1,043 kg. The Ram 2500 can tow up to 8,972 kg and carry a max payload up to 1,837 kg. The Ram 3500 provides the capability for virtually any job with 15,921 kg towing capacity and 3,484 kg payload.
