Holy smokes. Did I read right?
The new 2014 Dodge diesel, 1 ton can tow 30,000 lbs. I would imagine you will need the dually wheels.

- Yup, you read that right.
30,000# towing, 37,500# GCWR
Here's some info on the 2014s -- more improvements - I was unaware that there were any 2014 "Dodge" trucks. What am I missing here?
- The 30k tow rating was new in the '13 models along with a 37500 GCWR and 14k GVWR with those big 9750 RAWR.
Dodge woke up to the fact commerce uses these truck operating legally at those GVW and GCW anyway.
IMO good marketing strategy. 2oldman wrote:

Actually to get that number you have to spend $2600 for the medium duty Aisin transmission. The MY 14 3500 you can even order air bags on the rear with the really light leaf spring for non towing ride comfort.- Duals are just to carry the weight. Farm wagon trailer with front and rear axles may have very little to carry. 30,000 fifth wheel may never really work but these trucks are for more than just pulling RVs.
