Hello all:
Hoping you experts here can guide me as to confirming the tow capacity of my 2007 Ram 1500 Quad Cab 4x2 with 6' bed.
Although the truck has a hitch on it, I've never pulled anything but a small trailer. We are looking to get a bumper pull camper and I need to confirm how much I can safely tow.
Build sheet shows:
4.7L V8 FFV Engine
5-Spd Automatic 545RFE Transmission
3.92 Rear Axle Ratio
Corporate 9.25 LD Rear Axle
Trailer Tow w/4-Pin Connector Wiring
Sticker in door jamb shows:
GVWR: 6700 lbs
GAWR Front: 3700 lbs
GAWR Rear: 3900 lbs
Research I've done leads me to believe I am rated to tow about 6200 lbs but two camper dealers have said I can tow more like 7700 (both basing this on the fact the truck has a hitch). I'm not sure if the hitch was factory installed.
Can anyone help me interpret my build info and guide me as to what I can tow and/or does it look like I have a factory installed tow package?
