Ram Body Builder says Maximum trailer weight is 13,100lb and GCVWR is 20,000lb.
Course that is based on truck only weighing 6900# (20,000 minus 13,100)
The more the truck actually weighs (people/fuel/stuff) the less the trailer can weigh and stay within ratings
Yes, like with any other truck manufacturer out there those numbers will change. If the original poster wants to stay with-in his ratings then use the gcvwr. Weigh the truck and subtract it from the gcvwr. There are other numbers to consider too. I was just answering the OPers question. FWIW, I towed a rig for years with the same truck as the op that was 20,000# not counting the truck weight. It did/does great.
