Customizing Your 2022 Ram 1500 Performance and Capability
If you want to squeeze out as much towing and payload capacity from your next truck as possible, the 2022 Ram 1500 is a desirable choice. The maximum towing capacity of 12,750 pounds and maximum payload capacity of 2,300 pounds make the Ram a great companion for difficult jobs.
The type of capability you can expect from your truck depends on the engine you choose. There are four distinct options:
- 3.6L V6 engine

- 5.7L HEMI® V8 engine
- Supercharged 6.2L HEMI® V8 engine
The standard 3.6L V6 makes 305 horsepower, 269 lb-ft of torque, and offers a 7,730-pound maximum towing capacity. The diesel V6 engine delivers 260 horsepower, 480 lb-ft of torque, and a robust 12,560-pound maximum towing capacity.
A 5.7L HEMI® can come with or without the Ram eTorque technology. With it, you hit a maximum towing capacity of 12,750 pounds plus 395 horsepower and 410 lb-ft of torque. Without eTorque, the horsepower and torque figures remain the same but the engine only tows 11,610 pounds.
