2011 Ram 2500 6.7 tow capacity?

Otherwise you can justify being overloaded like using air bags (which do NOT add any capacity)
Ignorance is bliss!
Edit to clarify - the only difference between OPs truck and a 3500 is a softer rear spring pack. That can be directly addressed with airbags and thus in this situation you can effectively add capacity with air bags. Everything else between the two trucks is identical.
Common sense, people. This isn't complicated.
Air bags do not add capacity.
2500 has 10,000# GVWR
3500 has 12,000# GVWR
BIG difference.
Correct..........it isn't complicated
Go with ratings or 'justify'
I think my 6 year old could understand the difference between the ratings of the above mentioned trucks if I spent 5 minutes explaining it to her. Both are the same truck with different springs at the back. Supplement the lighter springs and...it's the same truck. Again, not complicated, and it has nothing to do with justifying anything.
This is no different than the factory bags pic that got posted in this thread. Lighter spring pack with bags...it ADDED capacity.
Amazing stuff, this. :R
