Greetings, Don here from Southeast AZ. We are looking to get a FW, but have no real rush because we want to research, and pick the best rig for us. We just purchased our new 2018 Ram 2500 Laramie. 6....

If you cannot weigh your truck, the previous chart can help. Looks like axle weight is neighborhood of 2900lbs. I would go with 3000. 6000-3000 is 3000 remaining axle capacity. Estimate 300 lbs for hitch (to be safe). Your pin weight cannot exceed that number (2700), which puts you in a 12,000 lb 5er category at best.
There is no way I could see you towing a 16,000 5er with your truck. It should/will likely have 3500-4000 pin weight.

So there are two stickers. One with weights, one with tires.
The one with weights says GAWR FRONT 6000#, GAWR REAR 6500# GVWR is 10,000#
The one with Tire info says Combined weight of occupants and cargo should never exceed 1,970#
I ooked on the sidewall of the tire and it says 3649# rating
Which one do I go by?
