How Do I Know if My Ram Truck Has a Tow Package?

Towing is an important aspect of owning a Ram Truck. If you plan on using your truck for towing, it’s important to know whether it has a tow package. Fortunately, there are several ways to determine if your Ram Truck has a tow package.

Check the Manual

The first thing you should do is consult the owner’s manual that came with the truck when you purchased it. Look for any reference to a tow package or towing capacity. If you don’t have the original manual, you can usually find one online from Ram or from your local dealership.

Look at the Hitch

In many cases, if your Ram Truck has a tow package, there will be a hitch mounted on the rear of the vehicle. This is usually easy to spot since it sticks out from the bottom of the truck. If there is no hitch present, then your truck likely does not have a tow package installed.

Check Your VIN Number

The VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) can also tell you if your Ram Truck has a tow package installed. The VIN contains information about all of the features and options that were included with your vehicle when it was manufactured. You can take your VIN number to any dealership and they should be able to tell you if there were any factory-installed tow packages included with your vehicle when it was built.

Talk to Your Dealer

If all else fails, you can always take your Ram Truck into the dealership and ask them directly if it has a tow package installed or not. The dealer should be able to answer this question for you quickly and easily since they have access to all of the records for each vehicle they sell.

Conclusion

Determining if your Ram Truck has a tow package installed is relatively easy by consulting either your owner’s manual or by checking your VIN number online or at the dealer. If none of these methods give you an answer, then simply asking at the dealership should get you an answer quickly and easily.
