Ram 2500 only carries 2300 lbs.

How much does it “squat”, when loaded? You see, the thing about RAM is the 2500 HD uses the same engine, (6.7 liter Diesel), the same transmission, the same brakes, the same rear end, and the same frame as the RAM 3500.! The things to watch for are the spring rates, and tires. I had a 2017 4x4 RAM towing a 35 foot 5th wheel, it “squatted” about 1 inch between empty and hooked up to fully loaded 5th wheel, pin weight was 2,350 pounds. I had some stout Toyo tires 12 ply and rated to take the weight, and everything was fine. `Now if your going to be worried about the “paper” weight limits, your going to have trade up to a 3500. Keep in mind the weight limits Keep in mind that those differences are based on regulatory limits not necessarily engineering differences. In many states there is a significant difference in registration fees between the 2500 models and the 3500 models because of the weight differences. So they artificially debate the 2500 so that its registration fees are in line with the 1500, otherwise they would be the same as a 3500. Good luck.
