Me Again,
I am guessing DRW mean dual rear wheels? My 2001 is a 1 ton with dual rear wheels but everything I can find shows that 2001 has a gvwr of 10,500 to 11,000#
I notice the newer models with crew cabs have a higher gvwr. I'm wondering if there is a difference in my 2001 and the newer models or did RAM just up the GVWR on paper?
The 13 and up RAM 3500's are great trucks with everything beefed up. The ratings are SAE J2807 Compliant numbers.
Or go find a nice Volvo 610 or 670. Lots available with manual tranny's. RVers license them as RV's.
