Technical question here, and first post on the forum!

I have a 2018 Ram 1500 5.7 4x4 with (unfortunatly) 3.21 rear end gears.

GVWR for the truck is 6800 lbs.

With this amount of information can someone tell me how much I can LEGALLY tow for a bumper pull configuration?

One number I'm most interested in is the GCVWR for this truck. What's the limit?

Finally / Bonus question: Does pin weight of a bumper pull camper get ADDED to the cargo weight of the truck?

Thanks a ton!

the hitch wt. gets subtracted from the available amount of cargo you can carry. look on door opening for sticker with info. I am sure there is an online chart somewhere for 2018's. can go to cat scale and get weighed to know for sure what your starting point is and subtract from the 6800#. my 2019 laramie weighed in at 5960# with me and half tank of fuel.

If it’s a crew cab, it’s just under 8,000 pounds if you got 3:21’s. This is from B&W trailer hitch’s website. d1f988e35b2038a8586e859d3884af9e.jpg
