Alter watching lots of videos online, I'm curious, why truck's towing capacity is just 6,280 while it's a 5"7' short bed, 5.7L V-8, A8 HEMI 8HP75 with 3.92 axle ratio?
The 2019 Ram 1500 chart states 11,190 for the Max Trailer Weight Rating. But a dealer sticker states just 6,280...
That's probably what @Grit dog noticed on the 1st page.
^Yup...6 pages now, lots of misinformation, but common sense is starting to prevail. Truck in question "5.7 Hemi V8 with 8-speed trans, and 3.92 gears". That is a powerful drivetrain! That truck also has a RAWR of 4,100.
Easily capable of towing a 6K trailer.
