Does anyone know a calculator or VIN decoder where I can find out my tow rating? Or is it contained within the info on my door sticker (attached)?

Thanks, but for whatever reason it doesn't accept my VIN. I have run into this before on several sites, but the official Mopar recalls site does recognize it. Huh.

Nor does the recall side of the Ram site like my VIN

did you use ONLY Capital Letters with your VIN numbers ?

First Things to know ...

2015 Ram Eco-diesel
it likely has a 3:55 to 1 differential
It could have a 3:92 to 1 differential
is it a Crew or Quad Cab
does it have 4 wheel drive
does it have air suspension

best guess without more information

3.0L with 3:55 ratio = 8,030 pound tow rating
3.0L with 3:92 ratio = 9,030 pound tow rating

I tried it again with upper-case letters and it still doesn't recognize the VIN on the 'lookup my vehicle' form to get the tow rating. It also only offers me 2017 and 2018 as options if I want to pick my way through. I've tried Edge and Chrome, regular and private windows, Windows desktop and Android. Weird!

It's a quad cab, 6'4" bed, Limited, 3.0D, 4x4.

Dammit, I have the Crew Cab (I always get mixed up on that naming) and I forgot to mention I have the 3.55 rear end.

Looks like I have 7,590 lbs. Thanks for the link to that pdf!
