The real tow rating of a truck has always been the GCWR minus the actual weight of the truck. Ram doesn't calculate their tow ratings differently than anyone else. Basically with just a driver and half a tank of fuel in the truck, period. Published tow ratings for North American trucks have never meant anything in the real world..
Shiner Brocks " contribution " is a mass of halftruths,outright lies and having no knowlege at all.
The main problem if you have a US Pickup and want to drive it using a car licence it has to be under10,000lbs. As a result a RAM 1500 Wwould have no payload, a 2500 about 1700lb but a 3500 has a basic light truck licence no restrictions. Although ADR registration takes 6000lb from the GCVWR compared to the US
