Greetings and weight question
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....

Not to pop your bubble but your truck has 3.42’s NOT 3.73’s unless someone changed them.
You should have researched the truck before buying anything. A 12k 5er LOADED is a good rig for your truck.
Sure your truck will TOW IT but it won’t CARRY IT !!!
According to Chrystler.com here is the window sticker showing 3.73.

Aslo on the Ram towing guide page it says 17,100lbs Max towing and 2,270 Max Payload. Maybe I am missing something?
It's 3.42 plain and simple on "ANY SRW" newer Diesel RAM thru 2018.
Okay I got it.
Now this confuses me even more, because the screen shot you posted says 3,160# payload, and 17,980# Tow.
When I go to the Ram Towing guide web page and put in the Vin# I get 2,270 Payload and 17,100# towing.
Meh, what the hell to believe!!!!
Chart shows ALL trucks to be regular cab. Look up 2018 RAM towing SAE guides and you can find the chart that looks like this but with proper configuration.
Bottom line weigh your rear axle loaded subtract from your RAWR and that is how much pin you can add.
