The tow rating for the RAM 1500 V6 has also been improved for the 2014 model year, raising it to 7,450 lbs thanks to a more robust parking gear in the eight-speed automatic tranmission. The 2013 RAM 1500 V6 had a maximum tow rating of 6,500 lbs.

yea, what good is it if it's going to overheat going uphill carrying a 30 ft plus TT. That's why I got rid of the Gas engine!
Um this article must be outdated. the official towing capacity on Ram's website is a pathetic 6800-6950 lbs with the 3.0 diesel. So sad. I was ready to buy one. Not anymore. I might have to look at the 2015 titan with the cummins motor. I sure wish Ram would have stuck with cummins. And a straight 6. And Ram what's up with 42k to 55k for a half ton? You are out of your mind! I might as well get a 3/4 or full ton for that price.
