Input Requested for help with a toy hauler
I have a Ram 2500 HD with a 6.4 Hemi and 4:11 rear. It is rated at 15600 lbs for max hauling. Any ideas on any makes or models of 5th wheeler toy haulers I can haul? I have a HDTrike I want to haul to...

As previously noted, need to know your truck's various ratings before you can determine which toy hauler you can safely tow.
Payload on 2014-2017 Ram 2500 6.4 Hemi's can run anywhere from ~2,500 to ~3,500 lbs. All depends on configuration, trim, and options. As long as you don't have a base Trademan with 17" wheels, your front/rear axle ratings (FAWR/RAWR) are 5,500/6,500 lbs. 17" wheels drop the RAWR to 6,000 lbs.
Payload rating of your truck when it left the factory should be noted on your truck's door jam sticker. Your truck's "current" payload rating is your truck's GVWR (more than likely 10,000 lbs.) minus the current, "scaled" weight of your truck empty.
Lastly, pin weight aside, your 2500 6.4 Hemi with the 4.10 rear end may be rated to "pull" 15,600 lbs; however, if you have any plans to pull that kind of weight in the mountains be prepared to see that 6.4 downshift frequently to 2nd and 3rd gear at 4,000 to 5,000 RPM's while doing so.
