I have a 2015 Mobile Suites upgraded to an Elite but without the glass roof, 44 Lafayette. Loaded with supplies for 1 person, full H2O, it was weighed at 19,800lbs with 4000lbs pin weight. I tow with a Ram 3500 but it was purchased with max towing capacity, diesel, Aisin tranny,etc. If I remember correctly, the base 3500 did not have enough cargo capacity for the pin weight. There is a lot of variations/options possible which means we'd need to know the specifics of the truck intended.
If you mean base as in 3500 SRW I would agree but all the 3500 DRW's have 9,750# rear axle rating.

Thanks! I did know that. This is what I was commenting on.

I was not sure if he meant 3500SRW as a base model, I was more thinking he thought there were several weight ratings for the dually's. I clarified that all 3500 Dually's have 9,750# rear axle rating not just some. Now that I say that I don't remember if the MegaCab Dually has the same rating??? Seems like the newer ones do.
The 2013 and up Megacab dually has the same weight ratings (axles and GVWR) as the long box crew cab dually. Prior Mega dually trucks were rated considerably lower for some reason which is one of the reasons I went with the 2013. I'm quite happy with my choice. :B
