RAM has truly pulled out all the stops for this year’s RAM 2500 towing capacity. Sure, the Silverado 2500 isn’t bringing small potatoes to the table, but when you compare their towing capacities side-by-side, we think it’ll be pretty obvious which heavy-duty pickup truck is the optimal choice for hauling all your equipment from Palm Bay to Sebastian in one go:
2019 RAM 2500: When properly equipped, the RAM 2500 is capable of towing up to 19,780 pounds, earning the accolade of Best-in-Class diesel towing for the 250/2500 truck segment.
2019 Chevy Silverado 2500: The Chevy Silverado 2500, on the other hand, is only able to tow up to 14,500 pounds when properly equipped.
The RAM 2500 will be powering right past the Silverado 2500 on Melbourne streets! At their base level, the RAM engine has significantly more horsepower and torque than the Chevy. Have a look:
