Common questions
Which Ram truck tows the most?
Of the Ram trucks we cover, the 1500 carries the highest rating at 12,750 lb with the 5.7L HEMI V8 eTorque (2024 model year), configured as Quad Cab 4x2, 3.92 axle, Max Tow Package. Towing capacity depends far more on cab, bed, drivetrain and axle ratio than most buyers expect, so compare the exact configuration rather than the headline number.
How many complaints do Ram trucks have?
Owners have filed 4,680 complaints with NHTSA across the Ram trucks and model years we cover, alongside 160 recall campaigns. Complaint volume tracks how many trucks are on the road as much as how good they are, so it is only meaningful compared against the same model's other years — which is what each model page shows.
Do Ram trucks share wheels?
Not reliably. Bolt pattern is set by platform, not by badge, and manufacturers change it between generations — so two Ram trucks of the same age can differ, and a Ram can share a pattern with a rival. Check the bolt pattern page for the specific truck and year before buying wheels.
