Towing

Die-hard fans may lament the passing of the Hemi V-8, but the 2025 Ram 1500’s new Hurricane twin-turbo straight-six engines make up in power and smoothness what they lack in audible growl.

The 2024 GMC Sierra 2500/3500’s freshened styling and welcome mechanical and technological improvements make it more competitive in a hotly contested segment.

Trucks equipped with a trailering package and heavy-duty axle are affected by a new recall that addresses concerns over axle hub splines.

After driving the 2023 ZR2 Bison, it’s easy to see the truck’s appeal. It’s a stylish pickup with enough capability to handle what most owners are likely to throw at it.

Chevy has given the Tahoe and Suburban a mild update with some freshened styling, a bump in power for one of the three available engines and a revised interior.

The Ford Super Duty’s updates for the 2023 model year include added tech features aimed at making towing easier and safer.

There are many EVs on the market now that can handle light- or medium-weight trailers, and a handful of new electric light-duty pickup trucks can even go “tow-to-tow” with their gasoline counterparts.

The 2023 Colorado has a maximum towing capacity of 7,700 pounds, which is top of the range for mid-size pickup trucks, but maximum towing numbers don’t necessarily guarantee a stress-free towing experience.

There are lots of choices among the cheaper-to-buy-and-drive mid-size SUVs that, when properly configured, can safely tow at least 5,000 pounds.

The F-150 offers a class-leading towing capacity of 14,000 pounds, and its ratings are calculated according to the SAE International J2807 standard.
