I rrcenrec purchased a 2018 Ram 2500 crew cab short bed. Cummins, Auto 4x4. Tradesman trim.
Where is Ram coming up with 17000+ lbs of towing capacity?
Payload of 2450?
I got this truck because I'm setting up a metalworking shop and developing a piece of property for myself. If I wanted to hook up to a gooseneck trailer and go get a 12,000 lb lathe I thought this truck could do it.
If your pin weight if a gooseneck trailer is supposed to be 25% of the total trailer weight. So if the trailer weight is 17000 lbs total that should give you a pin weight of 4250.
I bought this truck because it's advertised as 17,250 .
How do you put that much trailer behind a truck only rated for 2450 lbs of cargo weight?
