MOPAR® parts can significantly impact your RAM truck's towing capacity and performance. Along with obvious components like the engine, parts like the hitch receiver, cooling, and even your electrical systems can impact your ability to tow. The team at A. M. Maus and Son covers how all of these parts play a key role in your overall towing capacity and capability.
Essential Towing Components
The hitch receiver forms the foundation of your towing setup. MOPAR hitch receivers come in several classes:
- Class III (up to 8,000 lbs)
- Class IV (up to 10,000 lbs)
- Class V (up to 20,000 lbs)
These one-piece welded assemblies feature two-layer E-coating for rust resistance and match perfectly with your RAM model's specific towing capacity. For example, a properly equipped RAM 1500 with the 5.7-liter HEMI® V8 engine can tow up to 12,750 lbs with the correct hitch.
Suspension upgrades enhance stability under heavy loads. The Class-Exclusive Auto-Level Rear Air Suspension available for RAM 2500 and 3500 models automatically maintains ideal ride height regardless of load weight.
Electrical Systems and Cooling
Properly installed MOPAR wiring harnesses and brake controllers are essential safety components. The seven-way connector provides connections for trailer brakes, lights, and power, while a MOPAR trailer brake controller creates synchronized braking that prevents dangerous trailer push or sway.
Engine cooling components prevent performance loss under strain. MOPAR offers heavy-duty radiators, transmission coolers, and engine oil coolers that maintain optimal operating temperatures during extended towing.
