Hello
We recently purchased a 2018 Ram 1500 eco diesel 4x4 crew cab. The GVWR is 6950 as per the door sticker. There is no payload information on the sticker
Published data from Dodge indicates that the payload for this configuration is 1270 pounds
To our surprise we weighed our truck yesterday and it was 6120 pounds, making the payload 830 pounds. we bought the truck to haul a lightweight, 3900 pound trailer
The math doesn’t work for us with the 366 pound hitch weight, 2 labs, and two adults, and gear. We figure we need at least 1000 pounds. Of course we assumed we were good as we believed we had 1270 pounds as the payload
What we’re trying to figure out now is where the discrepancy is? We have Ram boxes, a spray in liner, full size spare, and winter tires with steel rims
We would appreciate insight into where we went wrong. At this point we will need to forgo the trailer or sell the truck and buy a much more expensive 2500
