What is the Ram 1500 EcoDiesel's towing capacity?

I’ve never had to tow anything before, but my mom wants me to bring her boat to our lake cottage this year. How much can a Ram 1500 EcoDiesel tow?

It’s nice of you to do that for your mom! The
Dodge Ram 1500
EcoDiesel has a towing capacity of 12,560 pounds, which should be more than enough to tow a boat behind you.
If you’re worried that your mom’s boat might be too heavy, it’s worth it to check the weight in advance. You’ll need to know how much you’ll be towing in total, so make sure to check the weight of the trailer, too.
