Been awhile since I kept this post active. Got a new shelter dragger and we are camping at one of the only campgrounds we still frequent. We almost exclusively camp in forest single sites...but Blue Knob State Park is still one of the one's, even fully reserved, you can strategically pick a...

Well, I finally made the decision to leave the 2018 and older RAM club and made a decision on a 22. I really, really wanted to try to make a 1500 work. After years of research. After watching people pull much more than they should. Seeing time and again how capable the RAM 1500 has...

You are real close to being fine. The only thing worrying me is being over Rear Gross Axle Rating. Losing the weight off the front axle is not much, But not something to look past either. Dry conditions, normal stopping, fine all day. Wet conditions, emergency stopping with need to turn...

Is your truck loaded to camp? Cause you are at GVWR before the trailer! So, you saying you pulled the axle onto the scale and then off the scale to the next axle and then off the scale to the camper axle? (Like some people have done at grain scales) Or did you pull the combination onto the...

It means with 3.21 has a Gross Combined Weight Rating of 13,900 lbs. This is truck, hitch, trailer and all cargo and passengers. The most the whole setup can weigh. So, if you truly weigh 13,275 with all occupants, hitch and gear, you are good!

It was the same 13900 with 3.21 but only 15600 with 3.92

Yes. Its GCWR was less than the Hemi.

Thank you! That helps @silver billet side of the discussion as well. I was really hoping it was going to go the route of one middle ground ratio...🧐

I should have started this discussion, with the word MAINLY in that first sentence. Anyways. Maybe it is those new stupid tow mirrors causing too much drag on the max tow trucks...🤣

Guess, we need to find out some info on the transfer case now too. It has drove modes now. Well, ain't that gonna look nice next to the purse.

@silver billet Marketing is helping your side of this discussion...🤣🤣🤣🤣

I said GVWR. But GCWR is less also. And the 5.7L in the 2500 is detuned quite a bit from its 1500 counterpart to live in that duty cycle. GCWR is set by the SAE J2807. It does not change by trim level. It is the configuration of the truck. So 2/4wd, Cab, bed, engine, transmission and rear...

Just to be clear, I am not arguing with @silver billet We have had many conversations over the years. He just happened to be the one who entertained my brainstorm today. They did get rid of the 5.7 Hemi in the HeftyDuty and it always had less GVWR than the 6.4 for the final years. It never...

I agree with this as why the HO and SO apparently do have a 280 lb difference... possibly, 🤔 maybe😁

If you remember correctly. The max towing Hemi had that Super Dana 60, and I still have never found one someone has purchased. Gonna guess it got dropped. (Which might be that huge discrepancy on GCWR...🤔?) 🍿

From that chart. The old 3.6L V6 Etorque... 2330 payload 7550 towing. The new (did it change...🤔) 3.6L Etorque...2300 payload 8100 towing. 🍿

The 910lbs to 1285 pounds the Hemi marketing info is off is a good place to start!

Correct. Why we are saying SAE J2807

Correct. I can read and am aware. The information is correct though

To correct a number and add more speculation. I couldn't remember if it was 50 or 100 for hitch. Turns out it is 75. So, 375 needs added to get to GCWR. The Hemi is already botched by 910lbs so it is actually botched by 1285. Using SAEJ2807, GCWR would be 18250. Or if we assume they...
