Allways Atascosa Ram – Can the 2026 Ram 2500 tow your ranch, jobsite, and weekend trailers in Pleasanton, TX?

The 2026 Ram 2500 is engineered to pull serious weight, and shoppers visiting Allways Atascosa Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram in Pleasanton ask how that power translates to their real-world trailers—equipment haulers, horse and livestock rigs, flatbeds, and big boats. With the available High-Output 6.7L Cummins® Turbo Diesel I6 and the TorqueFlite® HD eight-speed automatic transmission, the Ram 2500 delivers Best-in-Class available base diesel torque at 1,075 lb-ft and a maximum available diesel towing capacity of 20,000 pounds when properly equipped. If you prefer gas power, the 6.4L HEMI® V8 can pull up to 17,750 pounds when properly equipped. The key is configuration, and our team is here to match your specific trailer to the right Ram 2500 build for Pleasanton roads, ranch gates, and I-37 highway miles.

Beyond brute strength, the Ram 2500 backs you up with smart towing tech like Trailer Reverse Steering Control, a 360° Trailer Surround View Camera, and an available Digital Rearview Mirror with side camera integration for added visibility down the length of your trailer. Factor in available Trailer Tire Pressure Monitoring, the Fifth-Wheel/Gooseneck Prep Package, and Class-Exclusive Available Auto-Level Rear Air Suspension, and you have the tools to hitch, maneuver, and haul with confidence across Atascosa County and into the Hill Country.

Those numbers are only part of the story. Pleasanton drivers face steady winds on US-281, stop-and-go on Loop 410, and heat that tests cooling systems in August. The 2026 Ram 2500 is built for it—enhanced durability, low vibration, and intuitive shift logic from the TorqueFlite® HD eight-speed automatic help keep pulls smooth and controlled. Our team will help you select axle ratios, wheelbase, bed length, and a 4×4 that fit your trailer’s tongue or pin weight, overall length, and where you tow most often.

To make sure your Ram 2500 is dialed in for your trailer, start with these essentials, then let our specialists confirm the details in person.

1. Know your trailer’s true weight: Verify the loaded weight, not just the dry figure—water, fuel, tack, tools, and gear add up.
2. Match hitch type to the job: Choose conventional, weight-distributing, fifth-wheel, or gooseneck, then pair it with the available Fifth-Wheel/Gooseneck Prep Package.
3. Confirm payload and pin weight: Ensure the Ram 2500 configuration you select supports your tongue or pin weight plus passengers and cargo.
4. Select the right visibility package: Consider Class-Exclusive Available Power Convex Trailer Tow Mirrors and camera systems for wide or enclosed trailers.

Confidence is also about control on the move. Available Trailer Reverse Steering Control lets you guide the trailer with a knob while the truck manages steering—handy for backing into barns or tight storage pads. The available 360° Trailer Surround View Camera provides a bird’s-eye perspective when navigating jobsite clutter, while the LED Trailer Hitch Light helps with late-night hookups. Safety and security features like Forward Collision Warning with Active Braking, Adaptive Cruise Control, and available LaneSense® Lane Departure Warning with Lane Keep Assist can support you on longer tows, even with a trailer attached.

Inside, the Largest-in-Class available 14.5-inch infotainment touchscreen and available 12-inch Digital Cluster Display put your towing information front and center. Available Trailer Tow Pages show Trailer Brake Status and Trailer Light Check, while the available Uconnect® 5 NAV can be set for tow-specific routing. Add available Ram Connect services and available dual wireless charging pads for a cab that works as hard as you do between Pleasanton, Floresville, and South San Antonio.

Whether your daily pull is a 14,000-pound equipment trailer or a weekend haul with a two-horse slant, our team will help you configure the 2026 Ram 2500 that fits your load and your lifestyle. Bring your current trailer specs—GVWR, loaded weight, tongue or pin weight, and hitch type—and we will tailor a build, walk you through accessories like a Mopar® bed step or RamBox® Cargo Management System, and set up a hands-on towing tech demo at our Pleasanton location.
