Which 2026 Ram 2500 towing packages are best for ranch work around Poteet, TX?

Allways Atascosa Ram – Which 2026 Ram 2500 towing packages are best for ranch work around Poteet, TX?

When a truck is both your office and your lifeline, choosing the right towing packages matters as much as selecting the powertrain. For ranchers and small business owners who move livestock, hay, or equipment near Poteet, TX, the 2026 Ram 2500 offers thoughtful towing tech and hardware combinations that make hitching, backing, and highway hauling more confident and less stressful.

At the heart of the lineup are two proven powertrains—the 6.4L HEMI® V8 for robust gas performance and the available High-Output 6.7L Cummins® Turbo Diesel I6 paired with the TorqueFlite® HD eight-speed automatic. The diesel’s Best-in-Class available base torque of 1,075 lb-ft and a maximum available diesel towing capacity of up to 20,000 pounds when properly equipped give you the pulling power to manage gooseneck stock trailers or flatbeds. Yet capability alone is only part of the story. Towing packages and visibility tech transform towing from a task into a routine you can rely on every day.

• Fifth-Wheel/Gooseneck Prep Package: Factory-installed crossmember with integrated hardware for quick, clean in-bed hitching
• Tow Tech Package: Trailer Tire Pressure Monitoring, advanced camera views, and tow-specific settings
• Trailer Reverse Steering Control: Use a trailer knob to steer the trailer as the system turns the wheel
• Power Convex Trailer Tow Mirrors: Telescoping, camera-integrated mirrors to improve side visibility
• Auto-Level Rear Air Suspension: Class-Exclusive available system that helps maintain level stance under load

For many ranchers, the Fifth-Wheel/Gooseneck Prep Package is a foundational choice. It delivers a clean, factory-integrated solution for gooseneck or fifth-wheel hitches, saving hours over an aftermarket install and aligning perfectly with the truck’s frame strength. Add the Tow Tech Package, and you gain real-time Trailer Tire Pressure Monitoring on the available 12-inch Digital Cluster Display—vital for long hauls across county roads—and enhanced camera coverage. That camera suite can include the available 360° Trailer Surround View Camera for a bird’s-eye look around your trailer, plus the available Digital Rearview Mirror with side camera integration and an available wired Tow Mode Camera for a live view behind your trailer.

Back-up confidence becomes routine with available Trailer Reverse Steering Control. Instead of turning the steering wheel opposite your trailer direction, you simply point the trailer where you want it with a dedicated knob; the truck adjusts its steering automatically. Pair that with available Power Convex Trailer Tow Mirrors that telescope for wider viewpoints and integrate camera views, and those tight pens and angled ranch gates feel less intimidating. When your load changes throughout the week, the available Class-Exclusive Auto-Level Rear Air Suspension helps maintain an even stance—useful for stability and headlight aim under variable tongue weight.

Inside the cab, tow-specific software within Uconnect® 5 NAV and Trailer Tow Pages puts essential information in sight. Configure the Largest-in-Class available 14.5-inch center touchscreen to show your preferred tiles—bed camera, trailer light check, and navigation—while the available 12-inch Digital Cluster Display highlights Trailer Brake Status and gauge summaries. Combine this with available Trailer Light Check for solo pre-trip inspections, and you have a smarter routine from sunrise to sundown.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Do I need the available High-Output 6.7L Cummins® Turbo Diesel I6 for my stock trailer?

If you routinely haul heavy gooseneck livestock trailers or equipment near or above mid-range weights, the diesel’s 1,075 lb-ft of available torque is a strong match. For lighter bumper-pull loads and mixed duty, the 6.4L HEMI® V8 remains a capable, durable choice.

Which camera options help most for ranch work?

The available 360° Trailer Surround View Camera provides a top-down perspective around truck and trailer, while the available Digital Rearview Mirror and Tow Mode Camera help with lane changes and reversing into pens or barns.

What should I bundle with the Gooseneck Prep Package?

Consider pairing the Fifth-Wheel/Gooseneck Prep Package with the Tow Tech Package, Trailer Reverse Steering Control, and available Power Convex Trailer Tow Mirrors for a well-rounded visibility and control setup.
