RAM 1500 vs. RAM 2500: Towing Capacity

Take a look at the specs:

• 2020 RAM 1500 – 12,750 lbs
• 2020 RAM 2500 – 15,040 lbs

Max Payload Capacity

• 2020 RAM 1500 – 2,300 lbs
• 2020 RAM 2500 – 4,012 lbs

RAM 1500 vs. RAM 2500: Engine Specs

The RAM 1500 introduces a new and improved EcoDiesel engine for 2020. Rear-wheel drive is standard on both models, with all-wheel drive capability available on higher trims if your job requires extra torque and traction. Here’s what you can expect from the RAM 1500 or 2500 engine options:

2020 RAM 1500 Engines

• 3.0L EcoDiesel V6 — 280 hp and 480 lb-ft of torque
• 3.6L Pentastar V6 with eTorque — 305 hp and 269 lb-ft of torque

Ram 1500 vs. Ram 2500: Interior Features and Pricing

Looking for the highest capability for the lowest price? The 1500 and 2500 price range may help you make the call:

• 2020 RAM 1500: $32,145 – $53,465
• 2020 RAM 2500: $33,745 – $61,450
