    PAYLOAD CAPACITY

    So I followed what FF said and others. I found a vin number on a dealer website 3C6UR5CJXMG543549. I put that in Rams vin check as instructed and came up with this 3235.49/17,235.49 Interesting to the hundreds in weight. I emailed the dealer and await what they have to say. The numbers are...

    PAYLOAD CAPACITY

    Ok maybe my question wasn’t worded properly. I’m ordering a new truck! Where is the vin number so I can lookup cargo capacity. Plain Jane truck or loaded with options what’s the cargo capacity? The truck cost $75,000 dollars what’s the cargo capacity? Get my point or am I missing something here.

    PAYLOAD CAPACITY

    I hope this is a simple question. The truck payload capacity is located on the door post of most trucks. Does this door post rating apply to the truck as ordered by dealer or customer? Assume nothing was added to the truck after ordering. If ordered with lots of options added to the truck would...

    NEW RAM 2500 ADVISE

    I did a build sheet on everything I wanted and it was apparent to several Ram dealers in my area. All tried to sell me what they had on the lot and all refused to give me a price without coming to the dealership. The biggest issue was they want a deposit for and ordered vehicle. Is that normal...

    NEW RAM 2500 ADVISE

    I was looking into ordering but have never done that before. There isn’t much incentive for the dealer to give a good deal I would think. If this shortage of trucks continues I may have to go that route. I assume at some point dealers will start getting inventory they have to move. My local...

    NEW RAM 2500 ADVISE

    Yes I checked him out and his prices are good compared to everywhere I checked, not pre COVID, but good. The only thing I my price range were Tradesman which is fine with me but not a lot to pick from. But thanks for the tip.

    NEW RAM 2500 ADVISE

    It’s a tough market everything is over $60,000 and nobody’s dealing. They drop their prices only a few hundred dollars to a couple thousand. My 2019 ram I was able to get for over $9000 from sticker. No deals like that now. Guess I’ll just have to wait awhile.

    NEW RAM 2500 ADVISE

    Great advise so far. I was wondering about the 4x4 if it’s needed. I do travel up north a bit but never in the winter anymore. Won’t be doing much off roading with a fifth wheel. Kind of spoiled with my Bighorn options but could do without some of them.

    NEW RAM 2500 ADVISE

    I’m looking to buy a new Ram 2500 in the under $50,000 range. I would like a crew cab but right now cost is the biggest factor. I have a 2019 Ram Bighorn Night addition, 13,000 miles, that’s not even capable of towing my Rockwood 2104s travel trailer because of payload capacity. I would like to...

    Towing a travel trailer with a 1500

    I’m in the same boat as you and a smaller trailer. I ran out of payload with a Rockwood 2104s. Truck is 2019 1500 etorque. I’m now shopping for a 2500. Your truck will easily pull the trailer your looking at but you will definitely run out of payload first.

    Another Hemi MPG thread?? Well, yes, but I need specific information

    2019 Ram Bighorn 4x4 with etorque. Winter driving at 70-75 mph on highway 17.5 mpg at its best. Highway towing 8.5. In the summer we got close to 19 mpg. In my opinion the etorque wasn’t worth the extra cost. This truck doesn’t even come close to what they advertised they lied. Numerous articles...

    DOOR WEIGHT SPECIFICATION STICKER

    Finally was able to get to the scales but not with my trailer. The weights shown are with WDH on but no one in the truck. I didn’t think it would weigh this much. 7100 max minus 6080 only gives me 1020 for cargo. 600 pounds is what has to be in the truck only giving me 420 pounds for pin weight...

    DOOR WEIGHT SPECIFICATION STICKER

    I have very little experience pulling a trailer or driving a truck for that matter. I just get stressed being able to see what’s going on around me. I have a rear camera that’s on all the time and tow mirrors. Using mirrors for me is difficult trying to judge whats near of far. By the time I get...

    DOOR WEIGHT SPECIFICATION STICKER

    I’ll be going to the scales in the next couple of days. The 6800 is fully loaded with fresh water in the tank, 52 gallons. I have a husky center line WDH that I’ve been trying to set correctly but I’m not satisfied how the trailer pulls. It sways a bit to much for my liking. Still adjusting...

    DOOR WEIGHT SPECIFICATION STICKER

    I do have RamBox and MFT. I have a small TT that comes in at about 6800 pounds loaded with a tongue weight of 650 pounds. According to all the numbers I’m at max with with just me the wife and my dogs. Nothing in the bed of the truck. This really is depressing as I though this truck was exactly...
