    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...

    DOOR WEIGHT SPECIFICATION STICKER

    I kind of figured the 1424 was the factory number even though it was on the tire sticker. The chart MADDOG directed me to shows it should be 1780 pounds. Am I to assume the other numbers posted for my truck aren’t really accurate and not to go by them? Do I have a 11250 pound towing capacity and...

    DOOR WEIGHT SPECIFICATION STICKER

    My vehicle is a 2019 Ram 1500 hemi etorque. Can anyone tell me to meaning of my door sticker concerning weight capabilities of this truck. The GVRW says 7100 pounds and what I assume is the axle capacities at front 3900 and rear 4100 pounds. Totaled together that’s 8000 pounds. What does this...

    To RamBox or Not to RamBox ... plus other questions (multi-function tailgate)

    My truck 2019 Ram 1500 with ramboxes. First let’s me say I love them but! I had problems from the beginning with fit. There are posts on this site about fit and finish somewhere. They replaced my boxes but it didn’t help much with fit and the sleek lines aren’t there. They don’t leak and are...

    Should I get the Etorque???

    I have a 2019 with the etorque. Runs great and haven’t had any problems with it. It doesn’t live up to its promise of gas mileage. The extra cost apparently is not the same now. So for me it wasn’t worth the extra cost. The added torque is beneficial if it works as I pull a trailer. As far as...

    2020 1500 eTorque with terrible MPG

    Just and update on my earlier post about mileage at just over 10,000 miles. Mileage hasn’t improved any over the additional miles. Best is 17.5 driving like the old man I am. Trailer towing surprised me on a recent trip to Huntington Beach State Park in SC this past Christmas. I’ve made this...

    Travel trailer towing help!

    Where are you getting your weight calculations from concerning the trailer? If it’s from the dealer they won’t be correct especially that low tongue weight. They will tell you anything to sell a trailer. The length and shape of that trailer has to be taken into consideration also it’s not like...

    FRONT HITCH 2019 RAM BIGHORN KEEPING TOW HOOKS

    Interesting but they say they don’t make one for my truck and never have so I’ll just keep looking. Thanks for the effort!

    FRONT HITCH 2019 RAM BIGHORN KEEPING TOW HOOKS

    I called this business and they do not make a hitch for a Ram 1500. They do make them for the 2500 and 3500 series which still require you to remove your tow hooks.

    FRONT HITCH 2019 RAM BIGHORN KEEPING TOW HOOKS

    Looking to see if anyone has installed a hitch on the front of their truck WITHOUT REMOVING TOW HOOKS. I have searched but couldn’t find if this is possible. I would like to install a front hitch and still retain my tow hooks. Why? I like the way they look. It will primarily be used for a cargo...

    Are the warped Ram boxes a widespread issue?

    Rambox update: one of the new ramboxes, same side as before, is now coming apart again. Worst fit now than before the replacement. These lasted two weeks before issues appeared again.
