Dodge Ram 3500 SRW Max Payload????
Hi, I am looking to buy a one ton diesel truck and need a high payload for the trailer I am looking to get. I am pushing the limits of a SRW but really don't want a dually so I want the highest payl...

So if someone were to load a 3500 SRW to max payload it sure wouldn't leave much wiggle room on the tire capacity would it ?
I have 14,560# worth of tire capacity and 12,300 gvwr. Still a little wiggle room.
Not really what I was referring to. If one were to load full payload they would be around 7000lb on the rear axle. With the average 18" 10 ply being 3640 per tire that's awful close for me.
I only bring it up because I have approx 800lbs to go before I'm at tire cap and I thought that was close until I started looking close at 3500 SRW specs.
Don't you think they have a safety margin built into the tires? They sure are not going to pop with a few extra pounds.
The ratings are test at the speed rating. My tires are rated at 106 MPH. I try not to run over 100 just to give me a little wiggle room.
