I am looking to purchase a 2021/2022 1500 Limited 4x4 with EcoDiesel truck. It seems the max towing cap is right around 9480 lbs with 3.92 gears according to RAM's website (see below).
If I were to upgrade my gears to 4.10, or even 4.56 gears from Stage 3 Motorsports - how much would that bump up my max towing cap? I realize there are other factors involved in terms of bumping up the max towing cap but it seems the gears play a big role in that.
Every now & then, I tow my car hauler to haul one of my cars/trucks or to move furniture & materials. I posted a picture of my trailer & Saleen as an example.
I understand that 9480 lbs may be plenty for what I need, I'd like to bump it up more so I don't have to worry about being close to maxing out.
I know it's easy to say why not upgrade to 2500 or 3500 but like I said, I do not haul often so I felt that is an overkill.
Any help/advise is appreciated.
