The 2000 Dodge Ram 1500 can tow up to 7,950 pounds and carry a payload of 2,264 pounds. It produces 230 pounds of torque at 3,200 RPMs. The maximum tongue weight for the Class IV receiver hitch is 1,100 pounds, but if you use a weight distributing hitch (recommended for towing trailers), the maximum tongue weight is 5,000 pounds. It's crucial to avoid exceeding these limits to prevent negative effects on steering. The Ram 1500 has three seats and two doors, with the middle seat often considered the best spot by true cowboys.
