Too much for a half ton truck?

[IvoryHemi]

My GCWR (17,000 lbs) minus GVWR (7,100 lbs) minus TRAILER (8,100) will allow for PAYLOAD (1,800 lbs). Trailer I'm eyeing has a GVWR at 7,600 lbs and 600 lb tongue weight. That seem right to you?

Payload is already figured into GVWR.

What does your yellow/white driver side door jam sticker say?

You don’t have enough tongue weight with 600 lbs at 7,600 lbs trailer weight

Forget GCWR, not achievable in the real world. Take your payload, subtract 12% of the loaded weight of the trailer, subtract 100lbs for hitch and then you have weight for passengers and cargo.

Payload is GVWR, 7100 minus curb weight for your specific truck with your specific options. Look on the yellow and white sticker in your driver door jamb. It will tell you, the weight of the occupants and cargo can not exceed xxxx. I don’t think any of our trucks will have a 1800 pound payload.

I'm at 1750, 1800+ is probably achievable with 2wd and quad cab in either bighorn or tradesman.

With my new 2021 Ram 1500 Limited 4x4 and five equipment groups, 33 gallon tank, and multi-function tailgate

1660

1,660 lbs seems really high for the amount of options described on your Limited.

How much combined passenger weight will be in the truck?

I was thinking the same thing. That would probably be the highest payload we’ve ever seen for a 4x4 Limited. Payload must be lower with the 33gal tank and MFT.

Agree. I have a hard time believing the 1660lbs in a Limited.

Ive had two Limited's, one a Hemi and one a diesel.

Hemi was 1180lbs
Diesel is 1317lbs

Yeah my ecodiesel big horn only had 1,535lbs of payload. There is no way

Key for determining if your payload is adequate is to take your yellow sticker # and (deduct) 13% of the loaded trailer weight, as well as the weights of passengers and cargo in the truck.
you need to actually weigh your trailer “ready to camp” as theres no real way to approximate it unless you weigh every item going into it.

(Now 30 yrs ago we just hitched up and drove off as long as the tires weren't too flat and the lights weren't illuminating the moon…)

My Ltd hemi 4x was #1476.
Must have been those 3.21 gears that weigh less than all yuze' guys with 3,92's...

600 lb passenger weight (4 ½ of us)

Is the 600# your loaded and measured tongue weight?

No, just the tongue weight
