GVWR/Towing capacity question
This new Dodge lists the GVWR at 6,350lbs and a towing capacity of 9,200lbs. I thought your GVWR was your towing capacity. Help in layman's terms? Thanks folks... -Doug

For RAM go here:

Click on the "Look up my vehicle" button and plug in the VIN that you can get from the dealer's listing. This should provide specifics for that model including the axle ratio, which in this case appears to be a 3.55. Also, I think the max payload shown here does not account for any options added, so better to look at the loading sticker on the door jam to get a more accurate figure for that.
Having recently bought a new RAM for towing TT in the 4-5K range I would recommend if at all possible see if you can find a model with an 8-speed transmission. It's a big improvement over the 6-speed, especially when towing/hauling.
