Ram bodybuilder site is not working for me. Can someone point me to the cargo and tow ratings for the 2015 Ram 1500 Outdoorsman 5.7 Hemi, 4x4, 3.92 gears, crew cab, 20' wheels?

The door jamb sticker on my 2014 Outdoorsman with 5.7, 3.92, CC, 4x4, 17" wheels is 1181 lbs. tow rating is I believe 10,300lbs.

Wow, 1181lb payload, are you sure that's right? Seems really low. I believe large SUVs have around that much.

Sounds right, my 2013 Laramie 1500 has a 1,081-pound payload rating. Truly the definition of a half ton truck. In contrast, my 3500 is just about 4,000 pounds payload rating.

That payload seems light for an Outdoorsman; I thought that package included a suspension upgrade. My 2016 Laramie CC door sticker says 1253 lbs. That must be a very well-optioned Outdoorsman!

I had a 2014 Outdoorsman, payload was just over 1200 pounds. Ended up buying a travel trailer so had to trade it in for a 2500 Outdoorsman to get more payload. While the 1500 Outdoorsman has upgrade shocks, the coils are the same and that is what limits the payload.

It's got everything except parksense and has the factory air ride suspension.

Is your Laramie a 4x4? That is about the highest payload I have seen posted for one.

We are truly very limited with a RAM 1500. Looking at the OP question and the info provided in one post of a 10000+ tow capacity, you would have to be very careful on your hitch weight.

Yes, the truck in my sig is 4x4. No park sense, rear defrost, or tow mirrors and has 60/40 front bench, which I specifically wanted for traveling use. Does the air suspension option reduce payload rating, beyond just the added weight of the option?

No, it still has a 6900 lb gvwr, it just adds weight to the truck with the air tanks and compressor.
