I noticed a “max” light on my dash on 2021 Ram Limited. I had my Lance trailer attached. It’s well under weight limit. Any idea what this warning is? I don’t see it in manual.

Thanks

What is the tongue weight of the trailer?

Anything else in the bed / cab?

I know the Limited's have the lowest payload of any 1500's.. sometimes below 1000lbs. (listed on your door sticker) Depending on the answers to the questions above, you could be over your payload... or you could have an issue with your air-ride suspension.

Does the truck have blind spot monitoring? It might be trailer length related if it hasn't calibrated to the trailer length.
If the four corner air suspension is overloaded from too much payload/tongue weight you will get specific notice stating the system is overloaded.

It’s blind spot monitoring estimated trailer length. It’s accuracy is hit or miss, the max calibration is 39.5’
