Ok - rookie question but I would rather not be that guy on the evening news with his trailer and load laying across the highway. So, here it goes.
How much weight trailer and load can I tow safely? I have put a pallet of sod in the bed and it almost bottoms out with the front wheels "tippy toeing" with the nose in the air and butt on the ground and the rear wheel wells about an inch from the wheels. So, after seeing that I am concerned about pulling a trailer with a boat on it.
How much can I tow?
How do I improve the towing weight ability of this truck?
Below is the info from my vin sticker:
2009 Dodge Ram 1500 Laramie
DATE OF MFR: 11-08
Here is the info on the VIN sticker:
GAWR FRONT: 1679 KG 3700 LB
20X9.0
GAWR REAR: 1770 KG 3900 LB
20X9.0
GVWR: 3085 KG 6800 LB
Thanks guys. Really need some solid advise and not "Go buy a 2500"
