This is wrong and why he said dry weight.

Come on. What he meant was base weight. Not dry weight or curb weight. Neither have a dog in this fight...🤔

You are correct!

Base weight is a truck empty of cargo and passengers. With full fluids to include fuel. You need not worry about the weight of fuel. If weighing the truck, you need to have a full tank to get the proper base weight and make your payload door sticker number work. Effectively, as you tow you...

GCWR is Gross Combined Weight rating. This is what your truck, your stuff, your hitch and your trailer can weigh. That is what you are missing. GVWR, as exclaimed is your trucks maximum weight. They are mutually exclusive. Meaning. If your truck is at GVWR you can tow nothing. If your...

It does, they do

All 6.4l Hemi BGE engines have MDS. If you would just happen to have a 2018 or older 5.7l Hemi ...it does not. But, you say 2023, so 6.4 and MDS.

Really cool thing. The option guide they put out each year. We dealt with this so many times over the years Tow hitch, tow mirrors, heck some guys didn't even know what bed sizes were available. Get home, won't fit in the garage, ***** about RAM sucking, someone asks why didn't you get the...

With 7000lbs you will never truly notice the difference. Your personal need for power is unknown to me...but overall ability will not be affected at that weight. You may notice a slightly slower acceleration from a stop and one more downshift on a hill. The door sticker only Shows GVWR and...

My reply was to all the conflicting info and opinions. The gear ratio is the only difference. It is the ability to get the load rolling on grade and extra available engine braking.

Max towing number means nothing. There is a whole list of rules for why the 3.92 gets more GCWR than the 3.21. There is no marketing magic in the GCWR number. Max towing and max payload are mutually exclusive. You can not have both. See my original answer on this thread Nothing more...

I am not hoping. I follow all the mopar news and even get some insider info from time to time . I am not the least bit concerned about the future of RAM trucks...I am hopeful people start trading in like mad since prices have tanked and rumors of the end are getting people to jump on those 23...

If you have been watching the between the lines moments with the electric charger talk... You would know Dodge was not leaving a V8 out of their cars. Dodge definitely has a V8. They definitely have an engine bay for it. RAM HeftyDuty can not use the straight 6. The Internet worries too...

That is the one and only difference. 3.92 allows the truck to have 17000 GCWR while 3.21 is only 13900. Any other discrepancy would be on added options affecting base weight.

You were not too far from me visiting the Zippo/Case place! Great pics.

I wish the HD trucks would get it!

My friend made a YouTube video of a trail ride I led to show off pavement travel and dispersed campsites in PA. Check out the video...

Once again, MAX is the key word. This would be a regular cab 2wd tradesman. Forget MAX. Get the GCWR from a chart and the rest is on your door Sticker. Max towing means nothing. Unless you have the base truck and drive by yourself and be under 300lbs. The gooseneck to 5th wheel seems like...

The 6.4 was built to use the MDS and 87 octane. It never not once ever said anything about 93. Some years the manual says 87 acceptable 89 preferred...but that was due to customer and web pages saying oh my I could feel I lost 5 hp running 87... I run E15 88 in mine. Save another 25 cents...

I would never Get too excited over YouTube videos and anything our government tries to implement. Look at the Durango Hell Cat...was only going to be sold one more time ...then, they spend time and money making it again. They got the ev vehicles coming in force. Some already selling. Just a...
