Ram 1500 3.55?
I have been looking at Ram 1500 4 door. Looking at years 2011 to 2013, Most likely 2012. Gear ratio 3.55. Thought need the 3.92 gear, now not sure (see below). I don't ever plan towing greater than 65...

I have looked at the door jam sticker and see the load fro front wheel and rear wheel....my question is how do you relate that to towing and/or payload?
Front/rear axle ratings are also important, but you'll have to go to a scale to find out how much room you have left. As equipped payload is noted on this sticker for 2006+ model year vehicles in North America. Note what each has where mine says 2051.
Travel trailers with their high front and side profiles generally are more stable towards the higher end of the recommended TW %, say 13-15%. A boat may be stable in the 8-10% range. For example if you have 1000 pounds of payload available for TW, then a 10,000 pound boat is reasonable, but a 10,000 pound TT is not.
