Many a horse have looked like a sure winner – until the starting gate fell. The same can’t be said for the 2019 Ram 2500. Its flagship model, the Laramie Longhorn, not only looks great, but it delivers what it promises with more towing power than most drivers will ever need.
Some highlights of the 2019 Ram Towing specs.
Both the Ram 2500 4×2 and 4X4 come standard with:
- 410 hp 6.4L (392 ci) V8 Mid Duty Hemi MDS engine
- 8-SPD automatic 8HP75-LCV transmission
- 14420 lbs. max. trailer weight rating
- Warn® Zeon-12 Winch
If You Ask More from Your Truck
For most people, being able to tow a loaded 14 ft. trailer with that jaw-dropping bass boat and trailer, the 2019 Ram 2500 has more than enough horsepower.
If you need extra towing power the 2500 4X4 offers a 6.7L (408 ci) I6 Cummins Turbo Diesel engine that boosts the max. trailer weight rating to 19,200 lbs.

Awards That Mean Something
Car and Driver awards are impressive, but they don’t earn a paycheck. The newly engineered 2019 Ram was awarded the Vincentric Best Value in America Award because it has impressive specs and even more impressive real-world towing power.
Laramie Longhorn – Both Beauty and Beast
The 2019 Ram Laramie Longhorn Edition is a hard-working, hauling beast wrapped in chrome and leather.
This towing machine sets benchmarks in innovation, technology, luxury, materials, ride and handling, and towing.
The Laramie Longhorn has craftsman-like details that include 100 percent full-grain leather seats, wood surfaces, a dash made of hand-wrapped horsehide, brushed nickel accents, and an alligator skin-embossed surface.
But don’t let its looks fool you. The Laramie Longhorn has the same 6.4L V8 Mid Duty Hemi and over 14,000 lb towing power as its siblings.
Which One is Right for You?
You probably already know what you would use a truck that tows like this for. If you are a weekend fisherman or do a lot of DIY projects, the Ram 2500 4×2 will give you all the towing power you need and then some.
The 4×2 with its 6.4L Hemi V8 can carry a payload of 4,500 lbs while towing a maximum of over 14,000 lbs.
To coin a phrase from an old TV commercial, “But that’s not all!” The Ram 4×4 can be equipped with the award-winning 6.7L Cummins® Turbo Diesel, allowing it to tow almost 18,000 lbs.
The Cummins engine has a consensus life expectancy of 300 to 400 thousand miles. The Ram 2500 equipped with a 6.7L Cummins® Turbo Diesel has all the horsepower and torque a real work truck needs.
