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.
Even Rams Body Builder guide show all 2019 1500 6' 4" box and 5' 7" box 4wd/2wd crew cabs quad cabs 5.7 hemi with the 3.92 rear axle all have 11300 up to 12750 lb tow ratings.
Now add the 5.7 Hemi's 395 hp/410 torque. As others have said the truck won't struggle anywhere with that small trailer.
Lots of reserve power and load capacity for the OP truck.
