I have done some research and the door sticker on my truck list it as 6700# but the VIN lookup on the dodge website list it as 9600#. After a couple of phone calls I got to the bottom of it which is where the rubber meets the road. With the tires provided to me by dodge on my truck it was rated for 6700#
I towed my TT with my 1500 for the first time and it had no issues with a 6900# TT behind my Ram 1500 V8 with 3.92 gearing. Road was hilly and had a 6% grade that I did lose speed on but still managed to go up it doing 65. I am trying to work out something with the tires and so far to get D's or E's I may have to get a smaller wheel as my truck has 20" wheels. My prev truck was a 2500 that would have been more capable but when dodge purchased it back and I needed a new truck I forgot
