Calculated tow capability... Disappointed
So, in my search for the TT that the wife and I want, I've been diligently trying to calculate GVWR, GAWR, Traier capacity etc.. etc...I've read quite a bit, and I thought I would be okay with my tow ...

Just spent a few minutes 'trying' to find half ton GVWR/GAWR/GCWR
and only RAM had it on line...no curb, but easy enough to do
the simple math (GCWR - MTWR)
Truly tough to do this, as the OEMs do NOT provide the info easily
This is the link to the 2015 RAM site with GVWR/GAWR/GCWR/MTWR
2015 RAM 1500 Trailer Towing Chart - Ram Trucks

With this one...you could actually do a decent job of figuring
what it is truly rated to tow
Surprised that the RAM 1500's only go up to 6,950 lb GVWR...wonder
if they have a fake half ton offering to match Ford and GM?
Note the fine print...
Select "year", then "truck", select "model" in the top right, then select "model and option weights' on the lower left corner, then select "weight calculator" in the center..
From there you can select any configuration of model and options you like and the site will calculate ALL weights!
Max GVWR I could find was 7600# for a 1500 4WD standard box Crew-cab.
