I have a 2015, 1500 4x4 Crew Cab that I purchased used. There were no manuals. I only bought it because it was actually a leftover that had been sold from one dealership to another and only had 500 miles on it and I got one helluva deal. Anyway, I do not know the towing capacity of the truck and running a VIN decoder seems to get me more confused than before. There's two stickers in the door jamb, but they have the same info only one is for 17" wheels (which is what I have) and one is for 20" wheels. I have run the VIN decoder on several different sites and it comes back as everything from the V6 with the 8 speed trans and 3.21 axle to the 5.7 with 6 speed trans and both the 3.55 or 3.92. I did find a RPM chart, but am not sure if it's actually accurate for determining what rear axle I have. At roughly 75mph I'm running about 2000 RPM (from what I've found, that's what the 3.92 should run on the 6spd with 5.7). Not concerned about my gas mileage, but I can find no concrete material that tells me how much I can tow or what rear axle I truly have.
The truck on the title is listed as a Tradesman "Express", but when I run the VIN it comes back as either a Tradesman or an ST.
I'm confused. Can anyone shed any light on this?
