The highest rated Ram 3500 SRW's have a GVWR of 12,300 lbs. If you get a Cummins with the 68RFE in Tradesman trim and no other options, you can have a crew cab 4x4 long bed with a 4480 lb payload. If you choose the short bed, the GVWR drops to 11,700 lbs and payload is 4070 lbs. RAWR is 7000 lbs with most scaling out 3000 lbs on the rear axle, so actual pin weight will have to be less than stated payload.

Here is our truck ready to tow last fall before we left for Arizona. Rear axle was 3760 pounds. Real world number; hitch, two sets of golf clubs, Honda eu1000i, tools, and other stuff in front box including 6 gals on diesel.
