Towing for the 2020 Ram 1500
For a tow on the 2020 Ram 1500, CarmaCars arranges a trusted shop and never does the work itself. Once you are safe, send a request with where the car is and where it should go.
Your 1500 and the shop
Mention the trim and engine in your request; parts differ between them. If you have the service history of your 1500, have it ready for the shop. A photo of the dashboard warning light helps the shop prepare. The 3.0L 6-cylinder turbo is what moves it, with rear-wheel drive.
What we arrange
You agree everything with the shop before work begins. We follow up until the shop has the car booked in. We keep you posted until the car is booked in.
A car meanwhile
Add a rental to the same request as the repair. Keep moving with a rental while the shop has your car, by the day at our usual rates. Pick it up from us for free, or have it brought to you.
A short checklist
Ask the shop to explain the repair in plain words before you agree. Ask if the shop needs the car for a full day or only a few hours. Ask whether the shop needs your keys, the wheel lock key or the spare.
Between shop visits
Have the cabin air filter changed on the maker's schedule. Follow the maintenance schedule in your owner's manual, by time or distance. Keep the fuel tank above a quarter in winter.
One more step
Tell us the job and the car, and a person replies.

Request towing
Tell us when suits you. A person replies within one business day and arranges it with a trusted shop or recommends one; the shop sets its own price and time.
