Did you know re: Dodge Ram?

On Dodge.com, in their towing guide, it specifically states that Dodge does not recommend towing a trailer with the 3.21 axle ratio.

http://www.dodge.com/towing/D/basics/terms_conditions.html

Check the disclaimer at the bottom.

At the dealership, and in other places, on the web, they happily match the
Ram 1500 with the 3.21 axle and a towing capacity of 8150 lbs.

What does this mean?

I spoke with someone at the Dodge support line, and they could not answer it either.

    Ha, That's a good one!

    It's "FCA" Fiat Chrysler Automobiles to be exact.

    And the Ram 1500 are still made in Warren Michigan like they always have been.
