There used to be a link, which I can't locate anymore, to a site where if you put in your VIN, it would give you all the options, rear end ratio etc?

Anyone know of this?

For the record, its a 2014 Sport, 1C6RR7HT4ES218952

Your the man!!! Now, do you have the site (I also couldn't find it) where you type in your VIN and it tells you your towing capacity?

Actually...i think the towing calculator only goes back to 2019. It used to be to 2009. Gotta check that.

It is very easy to figure out. Take GVWR minus payload on door jamb.

Then take GCWR minus that answer.

Then you still got to subtract your weight and a hitch at the least. All your other payload too, while keeping tongue weight to under payload/GVWR/GAWR

Glad I got mine when I did...just for reference purposes.Screenshot_20210221-170506.png

Here U go, the most I could find, all the RAM sites for towing would not take yer vin. Fer chits and giggles, I threw in my VIN and it worked, just to confirm site works, but I have a 2019 DT truck also.

Now I know my memory lags nowadays, but I seem to recall someone saying a while back that the Ram tow site only works for US sales.

Could be wrong.
