if weight is 7630 and I add 4070 that puts me over GVWR

I prefer using GVWR to determine payload, but most don't use this number anymore.....They use RAWR to determine how much pinweight/payload they can carry in their truck.....RAWR on 3500SRW truck is around 7500# if not mistaken

Unless something has changed, SRW Ram 3500 only comes with 3.42, affecting GCWR... It's the dually's with the 4.10 , Aisin tranny and 11.8" rear axle that one picks up max GVWR of 14,000# and offers a GCWR of 37,500# or more.


My 2010 3500 dually had a GVWR of 12,000# and GCWR of 24K, 2012 dually I had was 12,200# GVWR and a GCWR of 25K...13's and up blew those numbers out of the water.

RAWR on 3500 SRW is 7500# I believe....on dually with Aisin, its 9750#

Yes one must read the fine print, and get the correct truck if they want to tow a heavy fifth wheel. Pick that truck, and you will have very limited cargo rating compared to one with 12,000 pounds GVWR.

Good luck,

Fred.
